摘要: Polysilicon in a trench is etched at an angle to produce a conductor within the trench that has shape characteristics which approximate the shadow of the side wall of the trench closest the beam source. Specifically, when the first side wall is closest to the beam source and the second side wall is furthest from the beam source, the polysilicon on the first side wall is almost as high as the first side wall, while the polysilicon on the more exposed side wall is considerably lower than the first side wall and approximates the shadow of the first side wall on the second side wall relative to the beam. The polysilicon in the trench may be in the shape of a solid angled block approximating the shadow line from the top of side wall to the shadow line on side wall however, it is preferred that the polysilicon take the form of a conformal layer in trench prior to etching such that the polysilicon ultimately has an angled "U" shape which approximates the shadow line. Contact is made to the polysilicon using strap that electrically connects the side wall with the polysilicon. Strap is sized such that it does not extend to the opposite side wall of trench, thereby avoiding short circuits. Having the polysilicon approximate the shadow line of the etch permits narrowing the distance between adjacent straps and in an array without the risk of creating a short.

摘要: Chips having subsurface structures within or adjacent a horizontal trench in bulk single crystal semiconductor are presented. Structures include three terminal devices, such as FETs and bipolar transistors, rectifying contacts, such as pn diodes and Schottky diodes, capacitors, and contacts to and connectors between devices. FETs have low resistance connectors to diffusions while retaining low overlap capacitance. A low resistance and low capacitance contact to subsurface electrodes is achieved by using highly conductive subsurface connectors which may be isolated by low dielectric insulator. Stacks of devices are formed simultaneously within bulk single crystal semiconductor. A subsurface CMOS invertor is described. A process for forming a horizontal trench exclusively in heavily doped p+ regions is presented in which porous silicon is first formed in the p+ regions and then the porous silicon is etched.

摘要: The subject invention provides a method of forming recesses in a substrate such as a capacitor so as to increase the surface area thereof and therefore the charge storage capacity of the capacitor. This is accomplished by utilizing a micro mask formed by agglomeration on the surface of the substrate. The agglomerated material, such as gold, titanium nitride or titanium silicide, is used as a mask for selectively etching the substrate to form recesses therein. Alternatively, an oxide transfer mask can be utilized with the agglomerated material micro mask to etch the substrate.

摘要: A high density substrate plate DRAM cell memory device and process are described in which a buried plate region is formed adjacent to deep trench capacitors such that the substrate region of DRAM transfer FETs can be electrically isolated from other FETs on a semiconductor substrate. The buried region is partially formed by lateral outdiffusion from the sidewalls of the deep trenches and partially formed by an N-well surface diffusion which entirely surrounds the DRAM array region.

摘要: A sub-surface interconnection structure for coupling an n-type diffusion to a p-type diffusion. The structure is a conductor-filled trench disposed between the diffusion regions. The trench has a thin dielectric layer on its sidewalls and bottom. The conductor within the trench contacts the diffusion regions. Parasitic device formation between the diffusion regions is suppressed because the trench provides a parasitic gate that is shorted to the parasitic source regions (i.e., the coupled diffusion regions). Moreover, the trench provides an enlarged contact to the coupled diffusion regions for the subsequently-applied metal layer.

摘要: A conformal organic layer is used to define spacers on the sidewalls of an organic mandrel. The organic layer (e.g., parylene) can be deposited at low temperatures, and as such is compatible with temperature-sensitive mandrel materials that reflow at high deposition temperatures. The conformal organic material can be dry etched as the same rate as the organic mandrels, while being resistant to wet strip solvents that remove the organic mandrels. This series of etch characteristics make the organic mandrel-organic spacer combination compatible with a host of masking applications.

摘要: An integrated structure is provided that includes a DRAM cell with a trench storage capacitor, and a corresponding storage node precharge circuit. The entire structure ideally requires only eight square features of area per memory bit. The structure also provides a partial leakage current shield for the DRAM storage node diffusion, thereby improving the data hold time. A graded impurity region around the storage node diffusion enhances the leakage shielding effect. The structure can be operated independently as a DRAM leakage shield if the precharge circuit is not needed. In that case, a junction diffusion in the structure can be eliminated and a leakage shielding effect is still achieved.
