    摘要: A trench isolation structure which prevents a hump phenomenon and an inverse narrow width effect of transistors by rounding the top edges of a trench and increasing the amount of oxidation at the top edges of a trench, a semiconductor device having the trench isolation structure, and a trench isolation method are provided. In this trench isolation method, a trench is formed in non-active regions of a semiconductor substrate. An inner wall oxide film having a thickness of 10 to 150 Å is formed on the inner wall of the trench. A liner is formed on the surface of the inner wall oxide film. The trench is filled with a dielectric film. Part of the liner is etched so that the top ends of the silicon nitride liner are recessed from the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: Provided is a double gate field effect transistor and a method of manufacturing the same. The method of manufacturing the double gate field effect transistor comprises forming as many fins as required by etching a silicon substrate, masking the resultant product by an insulating material such as silicon nitride, forming trench regions for device isolation and STI film by using the silicon nitride mask, forming gate oxide films on both faces of the fins after removing the hard mask, and forming a gate line. As such, unnecessary channel formation under the silicon oxide film, when a voltage higher than a threshold voltage is applied to the substrate, is prevented by forming a thick silicon oxide film on the substrate on which no protruding fins are formed.

    摘要: Methods of forming trench isolation regions include the steps of forming a semiconductor substrate having a trench therein and a masking layer thereon extending adjacent the trench. The masking layer may comprise silicon nitride. A recess-inhibiting layer is then formed on a sidewall of the trench and on a sidewall of the masking layer. Next, a stress-relief layer is formed on the recess-inhibiting layer. This stress-relief layer extends opposite the sidewall of the trench and opposite the sidewall of the masking layer and may comprise silicon nitride. The trench is then filled with a trench isolation layer. A sequence of planarization or etch-back steps are then performed to remove the masking layer and also align an upper surface of the trench isolation layer with a surface of the substrate. At least a portion of the masking layer is removed using a first etchant (e.g., phosphoric acid) that selectively etches the masking layer and the stress-relief layer at faster rates than the first recess-inhibiting layer. The recess-inhibiting layer is formed directly on a sidewall of the masking layer in order to limit the extent to which the outer surfaces of the stress-relief layer are exposed to the first etchant. In this manner, recession of the stress-relief layer and the voids that may subsequently develop as a result of the recession can be reduced. Multiple thin stress-relief layers may also be provided and these multiple layers provide a degree of stress-relief that is comparable with a single much thicker stress-relief layer.

    摘要: A method of forming a shallow trench isolation layer in a semiconductor device is provided, wherein a first trench and a second trench are formed in an area selected from a semiconductor substrate and a sidewall oxide layer, an anti-oxidation liner, and a mask layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate including the inner surfaces of the first and second trenches, in the same order. Using photoresist lithography, the mask layer and the anti-oxidation layer are etched in the second trench. An isolation layer is formed in the first and second trenches by depositing and then chemically and mechanically polishing the dielectric material and the layers underneath until the semiconductor substrate surface is exposed. The first trench provides isolation between N-FETs, an N-FET and a P-FET, an N-FET and other circuit devices, a P-FET and other circuit devices, and other circuit devices and the second trench provides isolation between P-FETs.

    摘要: Methods of forming electrical isolation regions in semiconductor substrates include the steps of forming a first electrical isolation region at a face of a semiconductor substrate, then forming a trench in the semiconductor substrate, laterally adjacent the first electrical isolation region, and then forming a trench isolation region in the trench so that the trench isolation region is contiguous with the first isolation region. In particular, these methods include the steps of forming a pad insulating layer on the face of a semiconductor substrate and then forming a first nitride layer on the pad insulating layer. The first nitride layer is then patterned by removing a portion thereof to define an opening extending opposite an inactive region within the semiconductor substrate. A second nitride layer is then formed on the patterned first nitride layer and in the opening. The second nitride layer is then patterned within the opening by removing a portion thereof extending opposite a portion of the inactive region. The second nitride layer is then used as a mask to selectively form a first isolation region by thermally oxidizing the substrate. The second nitride layer is then removed and followed by the step of etching a laterally adjacent portion of the inactive region to form a trench. The trench is then filled by depositing an oxide layer in the trench and on the first isolation region. Chemical-mechanical polishing is then performed to planarize the deposited oxide layer and the first isolation region and form a single composite isolation region therefrom. Stable isolation characteristics can therefore be obtained because the above sequence of steps reduces the degree of dishing associated with the composite isolation region, even when relatively wide trenches are used for isolation.
