    摘要: A method for determining film continuity and growth modes in thin dielectric films includes: depositing a material on the substrate using a first value of a growth metric; depositing an amount of charge on a surface of the material; repetitively measuring a surface voltage of the material until an onset of tunneling to provide a Vtunnel (or Etunnel) value; repeating the above steps for different values of the growth metric; and comparing the Vtunnel (or Etunnel) values for different values of the growth metric to provide a measure of the continuity of the material on the substrate. The growth modes of the material can be determined by comparing the first derivative of the Vtunnel or Etunnel per growth metric curve versus the growth metric, and examining the linearity of the results of the comparison. The growth metric parameters may include thickness, time, precursor cycles, or temperature.

    摘要: A structure, apparatus and method for utilizing vertically interdigitated electrodes serves to increase the capacitor area surface while maintaining a minimal horizontal foot print. Since capacitance is proportional to the surface area the structure enables continual use of current dielectric materials such as Si3N4 at current thicknesses. In a second embodiment of the interdigitated MIMCAP structure the electrodes are formed in a spiral fashion which serves to increase the physical strength of the MIMCAP. Also included is a spiral shaped capacitor electrode which lends itself to modular design by offering a wide range of discrete capacitive values easily specified by the circuit designer.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method, in an integrated, of forming a high-K node dielectric of a trench capacitor and a trench sidewall device dielectric at the same time. The method includes forming a trench in a single crystal layer of a semiconductor substrate, and forming an isolation collar along a portion of the trench sidewall, wherein the collar has a top below the top of the trench in the single crystal layer. Then, at the same time, a high-K dielectric is formed along the trench sidewall, the high-K dielectric extending in both an upper portion of the trench including above the isolation collar and in a lower portion of the trench below the isolation collar. The top of the isolation collar is then etched back to expose a portion of the single crystal substrate along the sidewall, and then, a node electrode is formed in conductive contact with the exposed sidewall and also in contact with the high-K dielectric in the lower portion, such that the high-K dielectric remains as a trench sidewall dielectric in the upper portion of the sidewall. In a DRAM memory cell structure, the trench sidewall dielectric may then be used as a gate dielectric of a vertical transistor which accesses the trench storage capacitor in the trench.

    摘要: A method of simultaneously fabricating n-type and p type field effect transistors can include forming a first replacement gate having a first gate metal layer adjacent a gate dielectric layer in a first opening in a dielectric region overlying a first active semiconductor region. A second replacement gate including a second gate metal layer can be formed adjacent a gate dielectric layer in a second opening in a dielectric region overlying a second active semiconductor region. At least portions of the first and second gate metal layers can be stacked in a direction of their thicknesses and separated from each other by at least a barrier metal layer. The NFET resulting from the method can include the first active semiconductor region, the source/drain regions therein and the first replacement gate, and the PFET resulting from the method can include the second active semiconductor region, source/drain regions therein and the second replacement gate.
