    摘要: The present invention relates to electrically active devices (e.g., capacitors, transistors, diodes, floating gate memory cells, etc.) having dielectric, conductor, and/or semiconductor layers with smooth and/or dome-shaped profiles and methods of forming such devices by depositing or printing (e.g., inkjet printing) an ink composition that includes a semiconductor, metal, or dielectric precursor. The smooth and/or dome-shaped cross-sectional profile allows for smooth topological transitions without sharp steps, preventing feature discontinuities during deposition and allowing for more complete step coverage of subsequently deposited structures. The inventive profile allows for both the uniform growth of oxide layers by thermal oxidation, and substantially uniform etching rates of the structures. Such oxide layers may have a uniform thickness and provide substantially complete coverage of the underlying electrically active feature. Uniform etching allows for an efficient method of reducing a critical dimension of an electrically active structure by simple isotropic etch.

    摘要: Provided are methods and composition for forming a multi-layer isolation structure on an integrated circuit substrate. A process can include selecting a lower dielectric material for the lower dielectric layer and selecting an upper dielectric material for the upper dielectric layer. A range of effective dielectric constants that correspond to the thicknesses the lower and upper dielectric materials are selected. A range of thicknesses for each of the lower and upper dielectric layers are determined from a range of acceptable dielectric constants using information indicating an effective dielectric constant corresponding to thicknesses of the materials for both the lower upper dielectric layers, enabling the formation of the multi-layer isolation structure.

    摘要: A relatively thin gate insulator of a digital switching transistor is formed from a layer of silicon oxynitride which was initially formed by implanting nitrogen atoms in a silicon substrate and oxidizing the nitrogen and silicon. It has been discovered that an outer layer of silicon dioxide is formed as a part of the silicon oxynitride layer. Removing this outer layer of silicon dioxide from the silicon oxynitride layer leaves a thin remaining layer of substantially-only silicon oxynitride as the gate insulator. Thinner gate insulators of approximately 15-21 angstroms, for example, can be formed from a grown thickness of 60 angstroms, for example. Gate insulators for digital and analog transistors may be formed simultaneously with a greater differential in thickness been possible by using conventional nitrogen implantation techniques.

The semiconductor devices include a metal substrate, a diffusion barrier layer on the metal substrate, an insulator layer on the diffusion barrier layer, and a semiconductor layer on the insulator layer. The method includes forming a diffusion barrier layer on the metal substrate, forming an insulator layer on the diffusion barrier layer; and forming a semiconductor layer on the insulator layer. Such diffusion barrier coated substrates prevent diffusion of metal atoms from the metal substrate into a semiconductor device formed thereon.

    摘要: Provided are methods and composition for forming an isolation structure on an integrated circuit substrate. First, a trench is etched in the integrated circuit substrate. A lower dielectric layer is then formed in the trench such that the lower dielectric layer at least partially fills the trench. An upper dielectric layer is then formed over the lower dielectric layer to create an isolation structure, the upper dielectric layer and the lower dielectric layer together having an effective dielectric constant that is less than that of silicon dioxide, thereby enabling capacitance associated with the isolation structure to be reduced.

    摘要: Provided is a technique for fabrication of STIs in a semiconductor device using implantation of damaging high-energy ions to insulating material overburden to generally and/or selectively increase insulation overburden removal rates. This technique avoids the use of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) with a combination of implantation and, in some instances, low cost batch etching. The electrical characteristics of devices created with the new technique match closely to those fabricated with the standard CMP-based technique.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a substantially completely silicided polysilicon gate electrode in a CMOS process flow. A hard mask material is formed on an integrated circuit substrate, where the integrated circuit substrate includes an unpatterned polysilicon layer that overlies a gate oxide layer, and a well region disposed between isolation structures. Portions of the hard mask material are removed to define gate electrode masks that overlie first portions of the unpatterned polysilicon layer and the gate oxide layer, leaving exposed second portions of the unpatterned polysilicon layer and the gate oxide layer. The integrated circuit substrate is exposed to a dopant that passes through the second portions of the gate oxide layer but does not penetrate the first portions of the gate oxide layer that underlie the gate electrode masks, which defines source drain regions in the well region. The exposed second portions of the unpatterned polysilicon layer are removed to define polysilicon gate electrode precursors under the gate electrode masks. The gate electrode masks are removed from the polysilicon gate electrode precursors, and a metal layer is deposited over the polysilicon gate electrode precursors and the source drain regions. The integrated circuit substrate is annealed to substantially completely consume the polysilicon gate electrode precursors and form silicide gate electrodes from the polysilicon gate electrode precursors and the overlying metal layer, by which silicide contacts in the source drain regions are also formed.
