摘要:
A semiconductor device 100 comprises a silicon substrate 102, an N-type MOSFET 118 including a high concentration-high dielectric constant film 108b formed on the silicon substrate 102 and a polycrystalline silicon film 114, and a P-type MOSFET 120 including a low concentration-high dielectric constant film 108a and a polycrystalline silicon film 114 formed on the semiconductor substrate 102 to be juxtaposed to the N-type MOSFET 118. The low concentration-high dielectric constant film 108a and the high concentration-high dielectric constant film 108b are composed of a material containing one or more element (s) selected from a group consisting of Hf and Zr. The concentration of the above-described metallic element contained in the low concentration-high dielectric constant film 108a is lower than that contained in the high concentration-high dielectric constant film 108b.

After an interlayer insulating film is deposited on a silicon substrate, a contact hole or contact holes is or are formed at a desired position(s) and, then, after a polysilicon layer is deposited and the contact hole(s) is (are) embedded, the surface of the polysilicon layer is flattened by chemical and mechanical polishing using at least one of piperazine or colloidal silica slurry, and a barrier metal film 4 and a highly dielectric thin film 5 are deposited and processed to a desired size. Finally, an Al/TiN film 6 adapted for the upper electrode is formed. The leak current of the thin film capacitor which is obtained according to this method can be greatly reduced.

The method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory device with a stacked capacitor is disclosed. The method is featured by forming an insulating film on semiconductor substrate, forming a high melting point metal film interposed between capacitor electrode films, selectively etching the capacitor electrode films to expose at least a part of the high melting point metal film, and removing the high melting point metal film by etching using a solution containing at least one selected from sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia. Thus only the high melting point metal film can be removed without etching the insulating film.

A method of forming a silicon layer disclosed herein includes the steps of depositing an amorphous silicon layer on a substrate, irradiating a silane gas to the substrate, and performing an annealing process in a high vacuum or in an inert gas. The amorphous silicon layer is thereby converted into a silicon layer having an uneven surface caused by hemispherical or spherical silicon grains. The annealing process may be performed while irradiating a hydrogen gas or an oxidizing gas. In this case, such a silicon layer that has an even surface is formed.

摘要:
In a capacitor incorporated in a semiconductor device, a capacitor lower plate is formed of a first amorphous silicon film on an interlayer insulator film and a second amorphous silicon film stacked on the first amorphous silicon film. A crystallization preventing film is formed between the first and second amorphous silicon films, or alternatively, the first amorphous silicon film is formed to have an impurity concentration lower than that of the second amorphous silicon film. A stacked structure formed of the first and second amorphous silicon films is patterned into a capacitor lower plate having a top surface and a side surface, and hemispherical grains are formed on not only the top surface but also the side surface of the patterned stacked structure. In this process, crystalline growth from the interlayer insulator film is prevented by the crystallization preventing film or by the fact that the first amorphous silicon film is formed to have an impurity concentration lower than that of the second amorphous silicon film. Thus, concaves and convexes in the form of hemispherical grains are uniformly formed on not only the top surface but also the side surface of the patterned stacked structure, so that a remarkably increased capacitance can be obtained.

Used nearer to a MOS transistor (25, 29(1), 29(2)) together with another capacitor electrode (39) with a dielectric film (37) interposed for use in a DRAM, a capacitor electrode is manufactured to include a conductor pole (53) and a tray-shaped conductor layer (55) which is held by the conductor pole and to include a plate portion (57) extended perpendicular to a pole axis and having a plate periphery and a peripheral portion (59) extended parallel to the pole axis from the plate periphery towards a pole end. Preferably, the tray-shaped conductor layer is held by the pole on a plurality of levels. A planar conductor layer may additionally be held at the pole end perpendicular to the pole axis. Word (41) and bit (49) lines are embedded in an insulator layer (43, 51) for the capacitor and the transistor.
摘要:
In a semiconductor device, such as a memory cell, including a capacitor, a corrugated electrode is used as a lower electrode of the capacitor and is covered with an insulation film to be opposed to an upper electrode. The corrugated electrode is specified in section by a series of folded portions which are alternately folded vertically and horizontally. Practically, the corrugated electrode is formed by a corrugated wall which surrounds a hollow space and which has a rectangular or a polygonal shape on a plane. Alternatively, the corrugated wall has an irregular surface formed by an aggregation of grains so as to effectively widen a surface of the lower electrode. Such a corrugated electrode may be manufactured by a mold which is formed by selectively etching a stack of first-kind spacer films and second-kind spacer films.

The method of fabricating a semiconductor device, includes the steps of (a) forming gate oxides on regions separated by device isolation regions, (b) depositing an amorphous silicon or a polysilicon film, (c) depositing a removable space-forming film over the silicon film, (d) patterning the space-forming film and the silicon film into the same shape to form a gate electrode comprising the thus patterned space-forming film and silicon film, (e) depositing a silicon nitride film, (f) etching the silicon nitride film to form a first sidewall around a sidewall of the gate electrode, (g) depositing a silicon oxide film, (h) etching the silicon oxide film to form a second sidewall around and onto the first sidewall, (i) etching the space-forming film with hydrofluoric anhydride for removal so that the silicon film is exposed and the first sidewall remains unremoved, (j) forming source/drain regions, and (k) selectively depositing a refractory metal or metal silicide film on the silicon film and the source/drain regions. The method makes it easy to cause the first sidewall to have higher height than the amorphous or polysilicon film to thereby form low-resistance gate electrode and diffusion layers, resulting in that the gate electrode is not short-circuited with the diffusion layers.
