    摘要: The present invention provides a method of forming a high quality thin oxide on a semiconductor body. A sacrificial oxide is formed on the semiconductor and then etched to eliminate the surface contamination of the semiconductor body. Then, an EEPROM oxide is formed following by an arsenic implant. Next the EEPROM oxide on the semiconductor body is then prepared by thin oxide growth. The thin oxide is preferably formed in a steam ambient. Subsequently, the oxide is annealed under nitrous oxide ambient using a combination of in-situ and RTP annealing process.

    摘要: The present disclosure includes a high density resistive random access memory (RRAM) device, as well as methods of fabricating a high density RRAM device. One method of forming an RRAM device includes forming a resistive element having a metal-metal oxide interface. Forming the resistive element includes forming an insulative material over the first electrode, and forming a via in the insulative material. The via is conformally filled with a metal material, and the metal material is planarized to within the via. A portion of the metal material within the via is selectively treated to create a metal-metal oxide interface within the via. A second electrode is formed over the resistive element.

    摘要: A method of depositing dielectric material into sub-micron spaces and resultant structures is provided. After a trench is etched in the surface of a wafer, a silicon nitride barrier is deposited into the trench. The silicon nitride layer has a high nitrogen content near the trench walls to protect the walls. The silicon nitride layer further from the trench walls has a low nitrogen content and a high silicon content, to allow improved adhesion. The trench is then filled with a spin-on precursor. A densification or reaction process is then applied to convert the spin-on material into an insulator. The resulting trench has a well-adhered insulator which helps the insulating properties of the trench.

    摘要: A method of depositing dielectric material into sub-micron spaces and resultant structures is provided. After a trench is etched in the surface of a wafer, a liner layer preferably is deposited into the trench. An anisotropic plasma process is then performed on the trench. A silicon layer may be deposited on the base of the trench during the plasma process, or the plasma can treat the liner layer. The trench is then filled with a spin-on precursor. A densification or reaction process is then applied to convert the spin-on material into an insulator, and oxidizing the silicon rich layer on the base of the trench. The resulting trench has a consistent etch rate from top to bottom of the trench.

    摘要: Methods of controlling critical dimensions of reduced-sized features during semiconductor fabrication through pitch multiplication are disclosed. Pitch multiplication is accomplished by patterning mask structures via conventional photoresist techniques and subsequently transferring the pattern to a sacrificial material. Spacer regions are then formed on the vertical surfaces of the transferred pattern following the deposition of a conformal material via atomic layer deposition. The spacer regions, and therefore the reduced features, are then transferred to a semiconductor substrate.
