摘要:
A top semiconductor layer and conductive cap structures over deep trench capacitors are simultaneously patterned by an etch. Each patterned portion of the conductive cap structures constitutes a conductive cap structure, which laterally contacts a semiconductor material portion that is one of patterned remaining portions of the top semiconductor layer. Gate electrodes are formed as discrete structures that are not interconnected. After formation and planarization of a contact-level dielectric layer, passing gate lines are formed above the contact-level dielectric layer in a line level to provide electrical connections to the gate electrodes. Gate electrodes and passing gate lines that are electrically connected among one another constitute a gate line that is present across two levels.

A method for forming a trench structure is provided for a semiconductor and/or memory device, such as an DRAM device. In one embodiment, the method for forming a trench structure includes forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate, and exposing the sidewalls of the trench to an arsenic-containing gas to adsorb an arsenic containing layer on the sidewalls of the trench. A material layer is then deposited on the sidewalls of the trench to encapsulate the arsenic-containing layer between the material layer and sidewalls of the trench.

A deep trench (DT) capacitor comprises a trench in a silicon layer, a buried plate surrounding the trench, a dielectric layer lining the trench, and a node conductor in the trench. The top surface of the poly node is higher than the surface of the silicon layer, so that it is high enough to ensure that a nitride liner used as a CMP etch stop for STI oxide surrounding a top portion of the poly node will be higher than the STI oxide, so that the nitride liner can be removed prior to forming a silicide contact on top of the poly node.

Addition of capacitance to the storage nodes of static random access memory cells and other types of integrated circuits substantially increases Qcrit and substantially eliminates soft errors due to alpha particles; susceptibility to which would otherwise increase as integrated circuits are scaled to smaller sizes and manufactured at increased integration densities. Formation of the added capacitance as deep trench capacitors avoids any constraint on circuit or memory cell layout. Degradation of performance is avoided and performance potentially improved by permitting alteration of proportions of pull-down and pass gate transistors in view of the increased stability imparted by the added capacitors. One of the capacitor electrodes is preferably shorted to the supply voltage through an impurity well. Thus, the memory cell size can be reduced while greatly reducing susceptibility to soft errors; contrary to the effects of scaling at current and foreseeable feature size regimes.

A high pressure gas discharge lamp and the method of making same utilizing integrated circuit fabrication techniques. The lamp is manufactured from heat and pressure resistant planar substrates in which cavities are etched, by integrated circuit manufacturing techniques, so as to provide a cavity forming the gas discharge tube. Electrodes are deposited in the cavity. The cavity is filled with gas discharge materials such as mercury vapor, sodium vapor or metal halide. The substrates are bonded together and channels may be etched in the substrate so as to provide a means for connection to the electrodes. Electrodeless RF activated lamps may also be fabricated by this technique. Micro-lasers may also be fabricated by this technique as well.

A method for making an electrical device such as a PALC display device, and the electrical device or PALC device so made, in which a channel plate is provided with substantially vertical side walls, and the electrodes are formed by a self-aligning anisotropic plasma etching process which requires no photolithography. A similar process may be used to form a fanout region for individual contacting of channel electrodes. For improved contacting, preferably the fanout region is also channelled and an upstanding structure such as columns provided in the fanout channels so that the spaces between the columns and between the columns and the side walls are filled up with deposited metal that remains following the anisotropic etching process.

The specification and drawings present a new method, ASIC and computer/software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) are presented for realizing conformal doping in embedded deep trench applications in the ASIC. A common SOI substrate with intrinsic or low dopant concentration is used for manufacturing such ASICs comprising a logic area having MOSFETs utilizing, for example, ultra thin body and box technology and an eDRAM area having deep trench capacitors with the conformal doping.
