Abstract:
Method for producing a dielectric material on a semiconductor device with an atomic layer deposition procedure, whereby an aluminum oxide nitride or a silicon oxide nitride or an aluminum silicon oxide nitride layer is deposited comprising a rare earth metal-element. The invention describes a semiconductor device with a dielectric layer comprising aluminum oxide nitride or silicon oxide nitride or an aluminum silicon oxide nitride comprising a rare earth metal element.
Abstract:
In a method for determining an edge coverage during coating processes a substrate is provided, a mask layer is deposited on the substrate, at least one through hole is formed in the mask layer and at least one first trench-type depression is formed in the substrate by patterning the substrate and the mask layer. An expanded second trench-type depression which extends in a direction parallel to the surface of the substrate is obtained by expanding isotropically the first trench-type depression. The second trench-type depression comprises a lateral trench opening at at least one lateral end region so that a coating material can penetrate laterally into the second trench-type depression through the trench opening.
Abstract:
The novel trench capacitors have a constant or increased capacitance. Materials for a second electrode region and if appropriate a first electrode region include a metallic material, a metal nitride, or the like, and/or a dielectric region is formed with a material with an increased dielectric constant. An insulation region is formed in the upper wall region of the trench after the first electrode region or the second electrode region has been formed, by selective and local oxidation.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices having deep trenches with fill material therein having low resistivity are provided along with methods of fabricating such semiconductor devices.
