摘要:
A method for forming a trench structure is provided for a semiconductor and/or memory device, such as an DRAM device. In one embodiment, the method for forming a trench structure includes forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate, and exposing the sidewalls of the trench to an arsenic-containing gas to adsorb an arsenic containing layer on the sidewalls of the trench. A material layer is then deposited on the sidewalls of the trench to encapsulate the arsenic-containing layer between the material layer and sidewalls of the trench.

摘要:
Methods of fabricating a semiconductor structure with a non-epitaxial thin film disposed on a surface of a substrate of the semiconductor structure; and semiconductor structures formed thereof are disclosed. The methods provide selective non-epitaxial growth (SNEG) or deposition of amorphous and/or polycrystalline materials to form a thin film on the surface thereof. The surface may be a non-crystalline dielectric material or a crystalline material. The SNEG on non-crystalline dielectric further provides selective growth of amorphous/polycrystalline materials on nitride over oxide through careful selection of precursors-carrier-etchant ratio. The non-epitaxial thin film forms resultant and/or intermediate semiconductor structures that may be incorporated into any front-end-of-the-line (FEOL) fabrication process. Such resultant/intermediate structures may be used, for example, but are not limited to: source-drain fabrication; hardmask strengthening; spacer widening; high-aspect-ratio (HAR) vias filling; micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) fabrication; FEOL resistor fabrication; lining of shallow trench isolations (STI) and deep trenches; critical dimension (CD) tailoring and claddings.

An embedded silicon carbon (Si:C) having a substitutional carbon content in excess of one percent in order to effectively increase electron mobility by application of tension to a channel region of an NFET is achieved by overfilling a gap or trench formed by transistor gate structures with Si:C and polishing an etching the Si:C to or below a surface of a raised gate structure in a super-Damascene process, leaving Si:C only in selected regions above the transistor source and drain, even though processes capable of depositing Si:C with sufficiently high substitutional carbon content are inherently non-selective.

A method of forming polycrystalline silicon with ultra-small grain sizes employs a differential heating of the upper and lower sides of the substrate of a CVD apparatus, in which the lower side of the substrate receives considerably more power than the upper side, preferable more than 75% of the power; and in which the substrate is maintained during deposition at a temperature more than 50° C. above the 550° C. crystallization temperature of silicon.

A compact resistor is formed in an integrated circuit using many of the same steps as are employed in forming a trench capacitor for a DRAM cell; in particular depositing a layer of heavily doped germanium in the trench interior after the step of doping the substrate to form the bottom plate for the capacitor, depositing polysilicon having the required resistivity in the trench then removing the germanium and leaving only enough to form an ohmic contact in the trench bottom.
摘要:
A fluorinated phosphosilicate glass (FPSG) is produced in a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process (PECVD) in which the plasma source comprises conventional phosphosilicate glass-forming materials together with one or more fluorine gas-forming materials. The deposited fluorine-gas enhances the filling of gaps or voids with dielectric glass compositions by etching the top of the via holes or gaps during the filling operation. The present fluorine-doped phosphosilicate glass compositions are stable compared to conventional phosphosilicate glass compositions which are relatively unstable and unsatisfactory for use as gap-filling dielectric glass compositions.
