    摘要: A semiconductor process and apparatus provide a T-shaped structure (84) formed from a polysilicon structure (10) and polysilicon spacers (80, 82) and having a narrower bottom dimension (e.g., at or below 40 nm) and a larger top critical dimension (e.g., at or above 40 nm) so that a silicide may be formed from a first material (such as CoSi2) in at least the upper region (100) of the T-shaped structure (84) without incurring the increased resistance caused by agglomeration and voiding that can occur with certain silicides at the smaller critical dimensions.

    摘要: A process of forming an electronic device can include patterning a semiconductor layer to define an opening extending to an insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer lies between a substrate and the semiconductor layer. After patterning a semiconductor layer, the semiconductor layer can have a sidewall and a surface, the surface can be spaced apart from the insulating layer, and the sidewall can extend from the surface towards the insulating layer. The process can also include chemical vapor depositing a first layer adjacent to the sidewall, wherein the first layer lies within the opening and adjacent to the sidewall, and is spaced apart from the surface. Chemical vapor depositing the first layer can be performed using an inductively coupled plasma.

    摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor device (10) includes forming an organic anti-reflective coating (OARC) layer (18) over the semiconductor device (10). A tetra-ethyl-ortho-silicate (TEOS) layer (20) is formed over the OARC layer (18). The TEOS layer (20) is exposed to oxygen-based plasma at a temperature of at most about 300 degrees Celsius. In an alternative embodiment, the TEOS layer (20) is first exposed to a nitrogen-based plasma before being exposed to the oxygen-based plasma. A photoresist layer (22) is formed over the TEOS layer (20) and patterned. By applying oxygen based plasma and nitrogen based plasma to the TEOS layer (20) before applying photoresist, pattern defects are reduced.

    摘要: A method for forming trench isolation in an SOI substrate begins with a pad oxide followed by an antireflective coating (ARC) over the upper semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate. The pad oxide is kept to a thickness not greater than about 100 Angstroms. An opening is formed for the trench isolation that extends into the oxide below the upper semiconductor layer to expose a surface thereof. The pad oxide is recessed along its sidewall with an isotropic etch. This is followed by a thin, not greater than 50 Angstroms, oxide grown along the sidewall of the opening. This grown oxide avoids forming a recess between the ARC and the pad oxide and also avoids forming a void between the surface of the lower oxide layer and the grown oxide. This results in avoiding polysilicon stringers when the subsequent polysilicon gate layer is formed.
