Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. At least one gate structure is provided on a substrate, wherein the gate structure includes a first spacer formed on a sidewall of a gate. A first disposable spacer material layer is deposited on the substrate covering the gate structure. The first disposable spacer material layer is etched to form a first disposable spacer on the first spacer. A second disposable spacer material layer is deposited on the substrate covering the gate structure. The second disposable spacer material layer is etched to form a second disposable spacer on the first disposable spacer. A portion of the substrate is removed, by using the first and second disposable spacers as a mask, so as to form two recesses in the substrate beside the gate structure. A stress-inducing layer is formed in the recesses.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a buried word line structure includes providing a substrate with a word line trench therein. Two source/drain doped regions are disposed in the substrate at two sides of the word line trench. Later, a silicon oxide layer is formed to cover the word line trench. A titanium nitride layer is formed to cover the silicon oxide layer. Next, a tilt ion implantation process is performed to implant silicon atoms into the titanium nitride layer to transform part of the titanium nitride layer into a titanium silicon nitride layer. A conductive layer is formed in the word line trench. Subsequently, part of the conductive layer, part of the titanium silicon nitride layer and part of the silicon oxide layer are removed to form a recess. Finally, a cap layer fills in the recess.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided and a patterned pad layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate so as to expose a portion of the semiconductor substrate. Then, the semiconductor substrate exposed from the patterned pad layer is etched away to form a trench inside the semiconductor substrate. A selectively-grown material layer is selectively formed on the surface of the trench, followed by filling a dielectric precursor material into the trench. Finally, a transformation process is carried out to concurrently transform the dielectric precursor material into a dielectric material and transform the selectively-grown material layer into an oxygen-containing amorphous material layer.
