    摘要: An improved and new process for fabricating a planarized structure of shallow trench isolation (STI) embedded in a silicon substrate has been developed. The planarizing method comprises a two-step CMP process in which the first CMP step comprises chemical-mechanical polishing of silicon oxide using a first polishing slurry which is selective to silicon oxide. The time of the second CMP step is determined by selecting an overpolish thickness based on the percentage of substrate area occupied by the trench. High manufacturing yield and superior planarity for silicon oxide STI are achieved.

    摘要: A method for forming a microelectronic layer. There is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate the microelectronic layer while employing a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method employing a source material gas and a carrier gas, wherein there is employed a sufficiently low plasma power, a sufficiently low source material gas:carrier gas flow rate ratio and a sufficiently high carrier gas atomic mass such that the microelectronic layer is formed with enhanced film thickness uniformity. The method may be employed for forming ion implant screen layers, such as silicon oxide ion implant screen layers, with enhanced film thickness uniformity.

    摘要: A method to prevent the accumulation of particle impurities on the surface of a semiconductor substrate that contains wolfram plugs during the process of polishing the surface of the wafer. The polishing sequence consists of three distinct polishing steps whereby the first two steps use hard polishing pads while the third step uses a soft polishing pad with the application of slurry during the third polish.

    摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a dielectric layer over a substrate. A first non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the dielectric layer. At least one opening is formed through the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the dielectric layer. A second non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the opening. At least a portion of the second non-conductive barrier layer is removed, thereby at least partially exposing a top surface of the first non-conductive barrier layer and a bottom surface of the opening, with the second non-conductive barrier layer remaining on sidewalls of the opening. A seed layer and conductive layer is then formed and a single polishing operation removes the seed layer and conductive layer.
