Abstract:
A method of fabricating cup shape cylindrical capacitor of high density Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) cells is disclosed. The cup shape capacitor shape is achieved by first depositing a first polysilicon layer on a silicon substrate; a third dielectric layer is then formed overlaying the first polysilicon layer, and defined third dielectric crowns by the conventional lithography and etching techniques; a second polysilicon layer is deposited overlaying the third dielectric crowns and first polysilicon layer; the first polysilicon and second polysilicon layers are then vertically anisotropically etchback to define storage nodes of the cylindrical capacitors; the third dielectric crowns are removed; finally, the capacitor dielectric layer and the polysilicon top plate of the capacitor are formed to complete the cup shape cylindrical capacitor formation for high density DRAM applications.
Abstract:
A simplified tri-layer process for forming a thin film transistor matrix for a liquid crystal display is disclosed. By using a backside exposure technique, the masking step for patterning an etch stopper layer can be omitted. After forming an active region including a gate electrode and a scan line on the front side of a substrate, and sequentially applying an etch stopper layer and a photoresist layer over the resulting structure, the backside exposure is performed by exposing from the back side of the substrate. A portion of photoresist is shielded by the active region from exposure so that an etch stopper structure having a shape similar to the shape of the active region is formed without any photo-masking and lithographic procedure. Therefore, the above self-aligned effect allows one masking step to be reduced so as to simplify the process.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating a rugged capacitor structure of high density Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) cells is disclosed. First, MOSFETs, wordlines and bitlines are formed on a semiconductor silicon substrate. Next, a dielectric layer and a doped polysilicon layer are sequentially deposited over the entire silicon substrate. The dielectric layer and doped polysilicon layer are then partially etched to open source contact windows. Then, a polysilicon layer is deposited overlaying the doped polysilicon layer and filling into the source contact windows. Next, the polysilicon layer and doped polysilicon layers are partially etched to define bottom electrodes of the capacitors. Next, tilt angle implantation is performed to implant impurities into top surface and four sidewalls of the polysilicon layer and doped polysilicon layer. Next, a rugged polysilicon layer is deposited overlaying the polysilicon, doped polysilicon and third dielectric layers. Next, the polysilicon layer is anisotropically etched by using the rugged polysilicon layer as an etching mask to transfer rugged surface profile from the rugged polysilicon layer to the polysilicon layer. Finally, an interelectrode dielectric layer and a third polysilicon layer as top electrodes of the capacitors are sequentially formed to complete the rugged capacitor for high density DRAM applications.
Abstract:
The electric circuit of a Liquid Crystal Display normally includes a common electrode comprising a material such as indium-tin-oxide that has high resistivity and hence high series resistance. Said series resistance is significantly reduced by the design taught in the present invention wherein an electrically conductive black matrix is located so as to be in contact with the common electrode. Additionally, said design reduces the level of light reflected back in the direction of viewing, thereby improving the contrast level of the display.
