    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for etching a feature in an etch layer that has a thickness of more than 2 micrometers from an initial contact face for the etchant to an opposite bottom face of the etch layer, at a lateral feature position in the etch layer and with a critical lateral extension at the bottom face. The method includes fabricating, at the lateral feature position on the substrate layer, a mask feature from a mask-layer material, the mask feature having the critical lateral extension. The etch layer is deposited to a thickness of more than 2 micrometers, on the mask feature and on the substrate layer, from an etch-layer material, which is selectively etchable relative to the mask-layer material. Then, the feature is etched in the etch layer at the first lateral position with a lateral extension larger than the critical lateral extension, using an etchant that selectively removes the etch layer-material relative to the mask-layer material.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body (1) with field insulation regions (14) formed by grooves (10; 24) filled with an insulating material (13) is disclosed. The grooves (10; 24) are etched into the semiconductor body (1) with the use of an etching mask (9) formed on an auxiliary layer (6) provided on a surface (5) of the semiconductor body (1). The auxiliary layer (6) is removed from the portion (11) of the surface (5) situated next to the etching mask (9) before the grooves (10; 24) are etched into the semiconductor body (1), and the auxiliary layer (6) is removed from the edge (12) of the surface (5) situated below the etching mask (9) after the grooves (10; 24) have been etched into the semiconductor body. Furthermore, a layer (13) of the insulating material is deposited on the semiconductor body (1), whereby the grooves (10; 24) are filled and the edge (12) of the surface (5) situated below the etching mask (9) is covered. Then the semiconductor body is subjected to a treatment whereby material is taken off parallel to the surface (5) down to the auxiliary layer (6), and finally the remaining portion of the auxiliary layer (6) is removed. Field insulation regions are thus formed which extend over an edge (12) of the active regions (15) surrounded by the field insulation regions (14) with a strip (18) which has no overhanging edge.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with a bipolar transistor (1) and a MOS transistor (2) formed in a silicon body (3) which for this purpose is provided with a field insulation region (4) by which semiconductor regions (6, 7) adjoining a surface (5) of said body are mutually insulated. A first region (6) is destined for the bipolar transistor and a second region (7) for the MOS transistor. The second region is provided with a gate dielectric (10). Then an electrode layer of non-crystalline silicon (11) is provided on the surface, which electrode layer is provided with a doping and in which electrode layer subsequently an emitter electrode (12) is formed on the first region and a gate electrode (13) on the second region. The electrode layer is provided with a doping by means of a treatment whereby a first dopant is provided at the area of the first region and a second dopant at the area of the second region, the first dopant being provided to a concentration such that the emitter zone of the transistor can be formed through diffusion from the emitter electrode to be formed in the electrode layer, while the second dopant is provided to a concentration lower than that of the first dopant. Owing to the comparatively low doping level, gate oxide breakdown is prevented during plasma etching and ion implantation.
