摘要: Exemplary methods of processing a semiconductor substrate may include forming a layer of dielectric material on the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include performing an edge exclusion removal of the layer of dielectric material. The methods may include forming a mask material on the semiconductor substrate. The mask material may contact the dielectric material at an edge region of the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include patterning an opening in the mask material overlying a first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include etching one or more trenches through the semiconductor substrate.

摘要: Exemplary semiconductor processing methods may include forming a p-type silicon-containing material on a substrate including a first n-type silicon-containing material defining one or more features. The p-type silicon-containing material may extend along at least a portion of the one or more features defined in the first n-type silicon-containing material. The methods may include removing a portion of the p-type silicon-containing material. The portion of the p-type silicon-containing material may be removed from a bottom of the one or more features. The methods may include providing a silicon-containing material. The methods may include depositing a second n-type silicon-containing material on the substrate. The second n-type silicon-containing material may fill the one or more features formed in the first n-type silicon-containing material and may separate regions of remaining p-type silicon-containing material.

摘要: Exemplary methods of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming a liner along sidewalls of a trench defined from a first surface of a semiconductor substrate. The liner may extend along the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include filling the trench with a dielectric material. The methods may include removing the dielectric material and the liner from the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include forming a layer of the liner across the first surface of the semiconductor substrate and the trench defined within the semiconductor substrate.

摘要: Methods for forming a semiconductor structure and semiconductor structures are described. The method comprises patterning a substrate to form a first opening and a second opening, the substrate comprising an n transistor and a p transistor, the first opening over the n transistor and the second opening over the p transistor; pre-cleaning the substrate; depositing a titanium silicide (TiSi) layer on the n transistor and on the p transistor by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD); optionally depositing a first barrier layer on the titanium silicide (TiSi) layer and selectively removing the first barrier layer from the p transistor; selectively forming a molybdenum silicide (MoSi) layer on the titanium silicide (TiSi) layer on the n transistor and the p transistor; forming a second barrier layer on the molybdenum silicide (MoSi) layer; and annealing the semiconductor structure. The method may be performed in a processing chamber without breaking vacuum.

摘要: Processing methods may be performed to form a filled contact hole in a mirror layer of a semiconductor substrate. The method may include forming a contact hole through a mirror layer of the semiconductor substrate by an etch process. The method may include filling the contact hole with a fill material. A portion of the fill material may overlie the mirror layer. The method may also include removing a portion of the fill material external to the contact hole by chemical mechanical polishing landing on the mirror layer.

摘要: Exemplary methods of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming a layer of metal on a semiconductor substrate. The layer of metal may extend along a first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate may be or include silicon. The methods may include performing an anneal to produce a metal silicide. The methods may include implanting ions in the metal silicide to increase a barrier height over 0.65 V.
