    摘要: A method of forming relatively thin uniform insulating collar in the storage trench of a storage trench DRAM cell. A DRAM trench is first formed in a silicon substrate. Then, a nitride liner is deposited on the silicon trench walls. The nitride liner may be deposited directly on the silicon walls or on an underlying oxide layer. A layer of amorphous silicon is then deposited over the nitride liner. A silicon nitride layer is deposited on the oxidized surface of the amorphous silicon. A resist is formed in the lower portion of the trench, and the exposed silicon nitride layer on top of the amorphous silicon is removed, leaving the upper portion of the amorphous silicon layer exposed. The upper portion of the layer of amorphous silicon is then oxidized so as to form a relatively thin, uniform collar along the entire circumference of the trench. The nitride liner underlying the amorphous silicon layer enhances the thickness uniformity of the amorphous silicon layer and thereby the uniformity of the resulting oxide collar. The nitride liner also acts to limit lateral oxidation of the silicon trench walls during oxidation of the amorphous silicon layer. The nitride liner underlying the collar is also effective in cell operation to control the cell charge at the collar-substrate interface.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure on a substrate is provided. The method may include preparing a continuous active layer on a region of the substrate and depositing a first raised epitaxial layer on a first region of the continuous active layer. A second raised epitaxial layer is also deposited on a second region of the continuous active layer such that the first raised epitaxial layer is in close proximity to the second raised epitaxial layer. A mask may be used to etch a trench structure into the continuous active layer at both the first and the second raised epitaxial layer, whereby the etched trench structure is filled with isolation material for electrically isolating the first raised epitaxial layer from the second raised epitaxial layer.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure may include preparing a continuous active layer in a region of the substrate and forming a plurality of adjacent gates on the continuous active layer. A first raised epitaxial layer may be deposited on a recessed region of the continuous active layer between a first and a second one of the plurality of gates, whereby the first and second gates are adjacent. A second raised epitaxial layer may be deposited on another recessed region of the continuous active layer between the second and a third one of the plurality of gates, whereby the second and third gates are adjacent. Using a cut mask, a trench structure is etched into the second gate structure and a region underneath the second gate in the continuous active layer. The trench is filled with isolation material for electrically isolating the first and second raised epitaxial layers.
