    Abstract: A method for forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure with reduced stress is described. An amorphous silicon layer is deposited on a trench surface of a shallow trench isolation structure, and the amorphous silicon is then oxidized by thermal oxidation to form a liner oxide. The thickness of the liner oxide is uniform to reduce stress caused by a liner oxide having non-uniform thickness in the prior art, and the leakage risk between the semiconductor devices can thus be prevented.

    Abstract: A clock generator is provided that is compatible with both DDR1 and DDR2 applications. The internal YCLK signal is turned on only when an active read or write occurs on the integrated circuit memory, even though the main chip clock is always running. A circuit block within the clock generator detects when a read or write is active and initiates a YCLK signal on the next falling edge of the internal clock. Two separate mechanisms are used for determining when to terminate the YCLK. One mechanism is a timer path and the other is a path determined by DDR1 and DDR2 control signals. The timer path is strictly time based and is the same for DDR1 and DDR2 parts or modes of operation. The other signal path is different for DDR1 and DDR2 operating modes. A DDR1 control signal turns off YCLK at the next rising edge of the internal clock, and a DDR2 control signal turns off YCLK at the next falling edge of the internal clock.

    Abstract: An additive latency circuit for a DDR2 standard compliant integrated circuit memory includes a half flip-flop register assigned for each case of additive latency. A unique clock is generated to control each bit in the register chain. Sufficient register bits are required in the chain to support the highest additive latency specified. For latency settings less than the maximum, those clocks assigned to the bits above the chosen latency are enabled so the data passes through un-clocked. For the additive latency zero case, a separate bypass path is provided. Both address and command information is delayed by the additive latency delay chain. Once delayed by the proper number of cycles, the address information remains in that state until the time when a new state is required. Command information remains valid for one cycle upon reaching the proper delay point. A reset circuit is provided to reset command signals.

    Abstract: A method for preparing a gate oxide layer is described. First, a trench surrounding an active area is formed in a substrate, and a dielectric block is then formed in the trench such that an upper surface of the dielectric block is not aligned with that of the substrate. Subsequently, an ion implantation process is performed to implant nitrogen-containing dopants into the substrate in the active area, and a thermal oxidation process is then performed to form a gate oxide layer on the surface of the substrate in the active area. Particularly, the concentration of the nitrogen-containing dopants at the center of the active area is higher than that at the edge of the active area. The nitrogen-containing dopants inhibit the reaction rate of the thermal oxidation process, so as to prevent the gate oxide layer from thinning at the edge near the trench.
