摘要:
A cleaning method for removing foreign bodies during the fabrication of semiconductor devices including treating a substrate with a cleaning solution including an oxidizer to form a chemical oxide layer and then removing the chemical oxide layer, thereby removing foreign bodies from a surface of the semiconductor substrate. Accordingly, the foreign bodies can be substantially removed from the surface of the substrate without corroding a metal.

Slurry compositions and method used in a chemical-mechanical polishing process for manufacturing a semiconductor device may include a surfactant and a positive-ionic high molecular compound. The surfactant and the positive-ionic high molecular compound may form first and second passivation layers on the surface of an exposed polysilicon layer.

In one embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a base and a tapered wall formed on the base. The wall has a midline and also has an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall. The inner sidewall and the outer sidewall are substantially symmetrical with each other in relation to the midline. Thus, the reliability of the semiconductor capacitor structure can be improved and the throughput can be increased. Also, further scaling down of semiconductor devices can be facilitated with the principles of the present invention.

摘要:
An apparatus for drying a substrate using the Marangoni effect is disclosed. The apparatus includes a rotatable supporting portion on which a substrate is placed. A first nozzle for supplying de-ionized water and a second nozzle for supplying isopropyl alcohol vapor are provided on the supporting portion. When the isopropyl alcohol vapor is supplied to the center of the substrate at the initial stage, the amount of alcohol that reaches the substrate is controlled by a controlling portion such that the amount of the second liquid gradually increases.

摘要:
For planarizing an IC (integrate circuit) material, a first slurry is dispensed for a first planarization of the IC material using the first slurry, and a second slurry is dispensed for a second planarization of the IC material using the second slurry. The first and second slurries are different. For example, the first slurry is silica based for faster planarization during the first planarization. Thereafter, the second planarization is performed with the second slurry that is ceria based with higher planarity for attaining sufficient planarization of the IC material.
摘要:
A method of fabricating a non-volatile memory device, which has a tunnel insulating layer consisting of two or more portions of different thickness, cell transistors, and auxiliary transistors for applying external voltage and for interfacing with peripheral circuits is described. According to the method, the tunnel insulating layer, a conductive layer, and a first insulating layer are sequentially deposited over a semiconductor substrate. The resultant structure is selectively etched to a given depth to form trenches. A second insulating layer is deposited over the substrate including the trenches, and the second insulating layer is selectively removed so as to form element isolation regions consisting of the trenches filled with the second insulating layer. The first insulating layer is selectively removed, and the second insulating layer is selectively removed by a CMP process to expose the conductive layer. The conductive layer is used as the stopping layer during the CMP process.
摘要:
A trench is formed in the integrated circuit substrate via a mask and filled with an electrically insulating layer. The electrically insulating layer is etched back using the mask. After etching the electrically insulating layer the mask is removed. Etching the electrically insulating layer using the mask avoids the protrusion of the electrically insulating layer from the semiconductor substrate associated with the prior art and thereby may reduce the formation of grooves in the electrically insulating layer and improve the reliability of the electrically insulating layer.
