摘要:
A method for fabricating a trench structure, in particular a trench capacitor with an insulation collar, which is electrically connected to a substrate on one side via a buried contact. Fabrication includes, for example, providing a trench in the substrate using a hard mask with a corresponding mask opening; providing an at least partial trench filling; providing a liner on the resulting structure; carrying out an oblique implantation of impurity ions onto the liner for altering the etching properties of an implanted partial region of the liner; selectively removing the implanted partial region of the liner by a first etching for forming a liner mask from the complimentary partial region of the liner, which partially masks the top side of the trench filling; removing a part of the trench filling by a second etching using the liner mask; and replacing the removed part of the trench filling.

Methods for expanding trenches are disclosed. A trench is formed in a substrate having side walls including at least two crystallographic planes. One crystallographic plane is etchable at a faster rate than a second crystallographic plane. A dielectric layer is selectively grown on surfaces of the crystallographic planes such that the dielectric layer includes a greater thickness on one of the crystallographic plane than on the other. The dielectric layer and the substrate are etched such that an etch rate inversion is achieved. That is, the second crystallographic plane is effectively etched at a faster rate than the first crystallographic plane.
摘要:
A process for forming a sacrificial collar (116) on the top portion of a deep trench (114). A nitride layer (116) is deposited within the trench (114). A semiconductor layer (120) is deposited over the nitride layer (116). A top portion of the semiconductor layer (120) is doped to form doped semiconductor layer (124). Undoped portions (120) of the semiconductor layer are removed, and the doped semiconductor layer (124) is used to pattern the nitride layer (116), removing the lower portion of nitride layer (116) from within deep trenches (114) and leaving a sacrificial collar (116) at the top of the trenches (114).

A process for forming a buried strap for memory cells of a semiconductor device having reduced process complexity and improved thickness control of the top trench oxide (TTO) (26). A first oxide layer (16) is deposited over a substrate (11) having trenches formed therein. A first semiconductor material (18) is deposited within the trenches (14). A nitride layer (20) is formed over exposed semiconductor substrate (20) within trenches (14), and a second semiconductor layer (22) is deposited over the nitride layer (20). The top surfaces of the second semiconductor layer (22) are doped to form doped regions (24) and leave undoped second semiconductor layer (22) on the trench (14) sidewalls. The undoped second semiconductor layer (22) is removed from the trench (14) sidewalls, and the doped semiconductor layer (24) within the trench (14) is oxidized to form an oxide region (26), which forms a TTO, within the doped second semiconductor layer (24).

A method for depositing a sacrificial oxide for fabricating a semiconductor device includes preparing p-doped silicon regions on a semiconductor wafer for depositing a sacrificial oxide on the p-doped silicon regions. The method also includes the step of placing the wafer in an electrochemical cell such that a solution including electrolytes interacts with the p-doped silicon regions to form a sacrificial oxide on the p-doped silicon regions when a potential difference is provided between the wafer and the solution. Processing the wafer using the sacrificial oxide layer is also included.

A process for forming dual gate oxides of improved oxide thickness uniformity for use in high performance DRAM systems or logic circuits, comprising: a) growing a sacrificial oxide layer on a substrate; b) implanting a dopant through the sacrificial oxide layer; c) implanting a first dosage of nitrogen ions in the absence of a photoresist to form a nitrided silicon layer; d) subjecting the substrate to a rapid thermal anneal for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to allow nitrogen to diffuse to the silicon/oxide interface; e) masking the substrate with a photoresist to define the locations of the thin oxides of the dual gate oxide; f) implanting a second dosage of nitrogen ions through the photoresist; g) stripping the photoresist and the sacrificial oxide layers; and h) growing by oxidation gate oxide layers characterized by improved oxide thickness uniformity in the nitrogen ion implanted areas in the thin and thick oxides.
