Abstract:
For manufacturing fine structures, nuclei that define the dimensions of the fine structures are formed on the surface of a substrate in a CVD process upon employment of a first process gas that contains SiH.sub.4 and GeH.sub.4 in a carrier gas. The nuclei can be employed both as a mask, for example, when etching or implanting, as will as active or passive component parts that remain in the structure, for example, as charge storages in the dielectric of an EEPROM.
Abstract:
Capacitors, in particular stacked capacitors for a dynamic memory cell configuration are manufactured by first forming a sequence of layers, which include layers made of a first conductive material alternating with layers made of a second material. The second material can be selectively etched with respect to the first material. Layered structures are formed from the sequence of layers, with the flanks of the layered structures each having a conductive support structure. The layered structures are formed with openings, such as gaps, in which the surface of the layers is exposed. The layers made of the second material are selectively removed with respect to the layers made of the first material. The exposed surface of the layers made of the first material and of the support structure are provided with a capacitor dielectric, onto which a counter-electrode is placed. The capacitor is made by etching p.sup.- -doped polysilicon that is selective to p.sup.+ -doped polysilicon.
Abstract:
A bipolar transistor includes a first layer with a collector. A second layer has a base cutout for a base. A third layer includes a lead for the base. The third layer is formed with an emitter cutout for an emitter. An undercut is formed in the second layer adjoining the base cutout. The base is at least partially located in the undercut. In order to obtain a low transition resistance between the lead and the base, an intermediate layer is provided between the first and the second layer. The intermediate layer is selectively etchable with respect to the second layer. At least in the region of the undercut between the lead and the base, a base connection zone is provided that can be adjusted independent of other production conditions. The intermediate layer is removed in a contact region with the base.

Abstract:
The silicon bipolar transistor (100) comprises a base, with a first highly-doped base layer (105) and a second poorly-doped base layer (106) which together form the base. The emitter is completely highly-doped and mounted directly on the second base layer (106).
Abstract:
A method for the fabrication of a doped silicon layer, includes carrying out deposition by using a process gas containing SiH4, Si2H6 and a doping gas. The doped silicon layer which is thus produced can be used both as a gate electrode of an MOS transistor and as a conductive connection. At a thickness between 50 and 200 nm it has a resistivity less than or equal to 0.5 m&OHgr;cm.

Abstract:
A method for producing a microelectronic structure is suggested in which a layer structure (30) which partially covers a substrate (5) and which comprises at least one first conductive layer (15,20) which reaches to a side wall (35) of the layer structure (30), is covered with a second conductive layer (45). The second conductive layer (45) is then subsequently back-etched to as great an extent as possible with an etching process with physical delamination, wherein delaminated material deposits on the side wall (35) of the layer structure (30). On the side wall (35) the delaminated material forms a protection layer (60) by means of which the first conductive layer (15,20) is to be protected from attack by oxygen to the furthest extent possible.
Abstract:
In producing a silicon capacitor, hole structures (2) are created in a silicon substrate (1), at the surface of which structures a conductive zone (3) is created by doping and whose surface is provided with a dielectric layer (4) and a conductive layer (5), without filling the hole structures (2). To compensate mechanical strains upon the silicon substrate (1) which are effected by the doping of the conductive zone (3), a conformal auxiliary layer (6) is formed on the surface of the conductive layer (5), which auxiliary layer is under a compressive mechanical stress.
Abstract:
A reactor configuration contains a housing connected to a silicon wafer. The silicon wafer has pores extending from a first main area of the silicon wafer into an interior of the silicon wafer, preferably as far as a second main area of the silicon wafer. A catalyst layer at least partly covers the surface of the pores.
Abstract:
An optical structure includes a substrate having semiconductor material and a grating structure. The grating structure has the property of emitting at least one frequency band so that light having a frequency from that frequency band cannot propagate in the grating structure. The grating structure has a configuration of pores and a defective region. The pores are disposed outside the defective region in a periodic array, and the periodic array is disturbed in the defective region. A surface of the grating structure is provided with a conductive layer at least in the vicinity of the defective region. A method for producing the optical structure is also provided.
