    摘要: A method of forming a buried collar on the sidewall of a trench in a semiconductor substrate including: (a) providing the trench in the semiconductor substrate, the trench having a first dielectric layer formed on a sidewall in a upper region of the trench and a conductive material filling a lower region of the trench, the conductive material covering a lower portion of the first dielectric layer; (b) removing the first dielectric layer not covered by the conductive material; (c) forming a second dielectric layer on the exposed sidewall of the upper region and on a top surface of the conductive material; (d) removing an uppermost portion of the second dielectric layer from the sidewall in the upper region; (e) forming a third dielectric layer on the exposed sidewall of the upper region; and (f) increasing the thickness of the second dielectric layer to form the buried collar.

    摘要: Forming a vertical MOS transistor or making another three-dimensional integrated circuit structure in a silicon wafer exposes planes having at least two different crystallographic orientations. Growing oxide on different crystal planes is inherently at different growth rates because the inter-atomic spacing is different in the different planes. Heating the silicon in a nitrogen-containing ambient to form a thin layer of nitride and then growing the oxide through the thin nitrided layer reduces the difference in oxide thickness to less than 1%.

    摘要: A process for forming an oxide layer on a sidewall of a trench in a substrate. The process comprises the steps of forming the trench in the substrate, forming a nitride interface layer over a portion of the trench sidewall, forming an amorphous layer over the nitride interface layer, and oxidizing the amorphous layer to form the oxide layer. The process may be used, for example, to form a gate oxide for a vertical transistor, or an isolation collar. The invention also comprises a semiconductor memory device comprising a substrate, a trench in the substrate having a sidewall, an isolation collar comprising an isolation collar oxide layer on the trench sidewall in an upper region of the trench, and a vertical gate oxide comprising a gate oxide layer located on the trench sidewall above the isolation collar. The isolation collar oxide layer is disposed over an isolation collar nitride interface layer between the isolation collar oxide layer and the trench sidewall, the gate oxide layer is disposed over a gate nitride interface layer between the gate oxide layer and the trench sidewall, or both.
