A method for fabricating a silicon oxide/silicon nitride/silicon oxide stacked layer structure is described. A bottom oxide layer is formed over a substrate. A surface treatment is then performed on the first silicon oxide layer to form an interface layer over the bottom oxide layer. The surface treatment is conducted in a nitrogen ambient. Thereafter, a silicon nitride layer is formed over the interface layer, followed by forming an upper silicon oxide layer over the silicon nitride layer.

A method of forming a suicide layer is described. A silicon layer is provided. Ions are introduced in the silicon layer. A metal layer is formed on the silicon layer. An annealing process is performed so that the silicon layer reacts with the metal layer to form the metal silicide layer. Thereafter, the unreacted metal layer is removed. The uniformity of the grain size and the grain distribution of the metal silicide layer are improved by introducing the ions in the silicon layer before performing the annealing process, so that sheet resistance of the metal silicide layer is reduced.

The present invention relates to a stacked memory capacitor of a DRAM cell, particularly, relates to a DRAM cell having a memory capacitor whose storage electrode possesses a remarkably increase area without increasing its occupation area and the complexity of fabrication thereof. By disposing the storage electrode of the memory capacitor on a rugged stacked oxide layer, the area of the storage electrode is remarkably enlarged since the growing of the storage electrode made of a doped polysilicon layer is followed along the topography of the rugged stacked oxide layer, thereby, resulting in a rugged surface thereof. The entire rugged surface of the storage electrode is covered with a dielectric layer to form a plate electrode made of a doped polysilicon layer. The memory capacitor provided by the invention achieves a higher capacitance while maintaining the same occupation area and packing density as that of the conventional arts.

The method for depositing a dielectric layer can be used to evenly deposit the dielectric layer to be applied to a semiconductor device. The method includes steps of: a) providing a substrate; b) depositing a first dielectric film on the subtrate; c) introducing an oxygen plasma for eliminating an uneven distribution of charges on a surface of the substrate; and d) forming a second dielectric film on the first dielectric film treated with the oxygen plasma for obtaining the dielectric layer having a uniform thickness on the substrate,

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to semiconductors, and more specifically to semiconductor memory device structures and an improved fabrication process for making the same. The improved fabrication process allows the self-aligned contacts and local interconnects to the processed simultaneously. The process allows the minimal distance requirement between the self-aligned contacts and the local interconnects to be widened, which makes the patterning of self-aligned contacts and local interconnects easier. The widened minimal distance requirement also allows further memory cell shrinkage. The improved structures of self-aligned contacts and local interconnects also have excellent isolation characteristic.
