摘要:
In a process for fabricating a semiconductor device, an DLC (diamond like carbon) film is formed on a principal surface of a semiconductor substrate, and an ashing protecting film is formed on the DLC film for protecting the DLC film from an ashing. A hard mask film having a resisting property against an etching agent for the ashing protecting film and the DLC film, is formed on the ashing protecting film. The hard mask film is patterned using a patterned photo resist film as a mask, and then, the patterned photo resist film is removed by an oxygen ashing. The ashing protecting film and the DLC film is patterned using the patterned hard mask film as a mask, and a trench is formed in the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate using the patterned hard mask film, ashing protecting film and DLC film as a mask. An insulator film is deposited on the whole surface to completely fill up the trench. The deposited insulator film, the hard mask film and the ashing protecting film are etched back by a chemical mechanical polishing, using the DLC film as an etching stopper. The DLC film is removed by the ashing, so that the deposited insulator film remains in only the trench to constitute a trench isolation structure.

According to the present invention, there is provided a means which can prevent a formation failure of hemispherical silicon crystal grains of DRAM having a stacked capacitor structure having the hemispherical silicon crystal grains, can introduce a sufficient amount of an impurity into the hemispherical silicon crystal grains, and can prevent capacity deterioration by depletion. In the present invention, a first silicon film is formed on a semiconductor substrate incorporated with an MOS transistor and then worked into a predetermined shape, and a spontaneous oxide layer is then formed on the surface of the first silicon film. In succession, a second silicon film containing the impurity and a third silicon film containing no impurity are formed, and annealing is then done without exposing it to the atmosphere to form the hemispherical silicon crystal grains. Afterward, electrodes are separated from each other by etch back to form storage electrodes, and a dielectric film and a plate electrode are formed to prepare a capacitor.

Boundary layers of silicon nitride not greater than 1 nanometer thick are inserted between adjacent two phosphorous-doped polysilicon layers forming parts of an accumulating electrode of a capacitor so as to decrease the grain size of the polysilicon and, accordingly, increase the grain boundaries exposed to the surfaces of the phosphorous-doped polysilicon layers, and hot phosphoric acid selectively etches the grain boundaries, thereby increasing the surface area of the phosphorous-doped polysilicon layers.

A film is formed so that the atomic numbers ratio of Sr to Ti, i.e., Sr/Ti, in the film is not less than 1.2 and not more than 3. The film is then annealed in an atmosphere containing not less than 0.001% and not more than 80% of O2 at 500° C. or above. An SrO film forming step or a TiO film forming step are repeated a plurality of times so that a sequence, in which a plurality of SrO film forming steps or/and a plurality of TiO film forming steps are performed continuously, is included. When Sr is oxidized after the adsorption of Sr, O3 and H2O are used as an oxidizing agent.
摘要:
A method for doping a dielectric material by pulsing a first dopant precursor, purging the non-adsorbed precursor, pulsing a second precursor, purging the non-adsorbed precursor, and pulsing a oxidant to form an intermixed layer of two (or more) metal oxide dielectric dopant materials. The method may also be used to form a blocking layer between a bulk dielectric layer and a second electrode layer. The method improves the control of the composition and the control of the uniformity of the dopants throughout the thickness of the doped dielectric material.

摘要:
This disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor stack and associated device, such as a capacitor and DRAM cell. In particular, a bottom electrode has a material selected for lattice matching characteristics. This material may be created from a relatively inexpensive metal oxide which is processed to adopt a conductive, but difficult-to-produce oxide state, with specific crystalline form; to provide one example, specific materials are disclosed that are compatible with the growth of rutile phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) for use as a dielectric, thereby leading to predictable and reproducible higher dielectric constant and lower effective oxide thickness and, thus, greater part density at lower cost.

To provide a dielectric film having good crystallinity while suppressing an influence of the size effects and preventing the dielectric film from being divided by an Al-doped layer although there is provided the Al-doped layer for improving the leakage characteristics in the dielectric film of a capacitor, the dielectric film has at least one Al-doped layer, and an area density of Al atoms in one layer of the Al-doped layer is smaller than 1.4E+14 atoms/cm2. Further, to achieve the area density, there is employed a combination of formation of a dielectric film using a general ALD method and Al doping using an adsorption site blocking ALD method including adsorbing a blocker molecule restricting an adsorption site of an Al source, adsorbing the Al source, and introducing a reaction gas for reaction.
