The present invention relates to a method for etching a trench in a semiconductor substrate. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for etching deep trenches such as those having aspect ratios of 30 and higher. According to embodiments of the invention, a method for etching a trench in a semiconductor substrate includes a first etch cycle wherein the trench is etched to a first depth. Thereafter, a protective liner is deposited on at least the upper part of the trench's sidewalls. The protective liner includes inorganic material. During at least one second etch cycle, the trench is etched to its final depth.

A method for fabricating patterned ceramic layers on areas of a relief structure, wherein the layers may be arranged essentially perpendicular to a top side of a substrate. In exemplary embodiments, a patterned ceramic layer forms an oxide collar for a trench capacitor. The oxide collar is produced by a trench firstly being filled with a resist in its lower section, and an oxide layer subsequently being produced on the uncovered areas of the substrate with the aid of a low temperature ALD method. By means of anisotropic etching, only those portions of the ceramic layer which are arranged at the perpendicular walls of the trench remain. The resist filling may subsequently be removed, for example, by means of an oxygen plasma.

The present invention relates to a more robust article dispensing apparatus that is relatively simple in construction and usage for dispensing articles in a clean and protective environment. More specifically, the apparatus accepts, separates, and dispenses articles from a nested stack of articles such as beverage cup lids one at a time. In one embodiment, a dispensing apparatus for dispensing an article from a stack of articles each having a periphery comprises an isolating device including one or more isolating members which are movable between a hold position spaced from the stack of articles, and a dispense position contacting the periphery of one or more articles in the stack and supporting the one or more articles including an adjacent article which is adjacent an endmost article while not contacting the periphery of the endmost article by the one or more isolating members, to isolate the endmost article from the other articles in the stack to permit the endmost article to be separated from the other articles and be dispensed.
摘要:
A semiconductor module is described which is essentially constructed from a silicon material and has an insulation layer for example in the form of a gate insulation layer or a MOS transistor or in the form of an insulation layer of a memory cell for a dynamic memory module. The insulation layer preferably comprises a dielectric material whose band gap is greater than the band gap of SiO2. To construct the insulation layer, use is made of materials which have a metal-fluorine compound, such as e.g. lithium fluoride. Particularly thin insulation layers are provided by the material described.
