    摘要: A semiconductor body has a first portion, a second portion, and an active area located between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion and the second portion are a shallow trench isolation region having an exposed surface extending above the surface of the active area. A first ion implantation is performed at a first angle such that a first shaded area defined by the exposed surface of the first portion and the first angle is exposed to fewer ions than a first unshaded area. A second ion implantation is performed at a second angle such that a second shaded area defined by the exposed surface of the second portion and the second angle is exposed to fewer ions than a second unshaded area.

    摘要: A method for growing a dielectric layer on a substrate, in accordance with the present invention, includes the steps of providing a substrate having at least two crystallographic planes which experience different dielectric layer growth rates due to the at least two crystallographic planes. A first dielectric layer is grown on the at least two crystallographic planes such that the first dielectric layer has a first thickness on a first crystallographic plane and a second thickness on a second crystallographic plane. The first thickness is thicker than the second thickness for the first dielectric layer. Dopants are implanted through the first dielectric layer. A greater number of dopants are implanted in the substrate through the second thickness than through the first thickness of the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is then removed. A second dielectric layer is grown at a same location as the removed first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer has a first thickness on a first crystallographic plane and a second thickness on a second crystallographic plane. The first thickness and the second thickness of the second dielectric layer are closer in thickness than the first thickness and the second thickness of the first dielectric layer due to the implantation of the dopants.

    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 two-step progressive thermal oxidation process is provided to improve the thickness uniformity of a thin oxide layer in semiconductor wafer fabrication. A semiconductor wafer, e.g., of silicon, with a surface subject to formation of an oxide layer thereon but which is substantially oxide layer-free, is loaded, e.g., at room temperature, into an oxidation furnace maintained at a low loading temperature, e.g., of 400-600° C., and the wafer temperature is adjusted to a low oxidizing temperature, e.g., of 400-600° C., all while the wafer is under an inert, e.g., nitrogen, atmosphere. The wafer is then subjected to initial oxidation, e.g., in dry oxygen, at the low oxidizing temperature to form a uniform initial thickness oxide, e.g., silicon dioxide, layer, e.g., of up to 10 angstroms, on the surface, after which the furnace temperature is increased to a high oxidizing temperature, e.g., of 700-1200° C., while the wafer is under an inert atmosphere. The wafer is next subjected to final oxidation, e.g., in oxygen and/or water vapor, at the high oxidizing temperature to increase uniformly the oxide layer to a selective final thickness, e.g., of 20-100 angstroms, whereupon the resultant uniform final thickness oxide layer-containing wafer is recovered from the furnace.

    摘要: In a method for forming a semiconductor device, a gate electrode is formed over a semiconductor body (e.g., bulk silicon substrate or SOI layer). The gate electrode is electrically insulated from the semiconductor body. A first sidewall spacer is formed along a sidewall of the gate electrode. A sacrificial sidewall spacer is formed adjacent the first sidewall spacer. The sacrificial sidewall spacer and the first sidewall spacer overlying the semiconductor body. A planarization layer is formed over the semiconductor body such that a portion of the planarization layer is adjacent the sacrificial sidewall spacer. The sacrificial sidewall spacer can then be removed and a recess etched in the semiconductor body. The recess is substantially aligned between the first sidewall spacer and the portion of the planarization layer. A semiconductor material (e.g., SiGe or SiC) can then be formed in the recess.
