    摘要: Provided are methods and composition for forming an isolation structure on an integrated circuit substrate. First, a trench is etched in the integrated circuit substrate. A lower dielectric layer is then formed in the trench such that the lower dielectric layer at least partially fills the trench. An upper dielectric layer is then formed over the lower dielectric layer to create an isolation structure, the upper dielectric layer and the lower dielectric layer together having an effective dielectric constant that is less than that of silicon dioxide, thereby enabling capacitance associated with the isolation structure to be reduced.

    摘要: A shallow isolating trench is formed in a semiconductor wafer between active component areas to electrically isolate the active components from each other. The isolating trench is primarily formed of an insulating material, such as an oxide, in a recess formed into the wafer. An etch resistant material, such as BTBAS nitride, is placed over the insulating material in the recess. The etch resistant material protects the insulating material from erosion due to subsequent semiconductor fabrication process steps, so the integrity of the isolating trench and the planarity of the wafer are generally maintained.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a method for blanket ion implanting a semiconductor substrate surface to induce uniform damage over desired portions of the surface thereby reducing non-uniform etch effects caused by the varying etch rates of surface materials and conditions during surface cleaning. The invention includes providing a semiconductor substrate having gate oxide regions and a sacrificial oxide layer of a predetermined thickness formed thereon. The surface of the substrate is pattern masked to reveal openings in the gate oxide regions and ion implanted through the openings in the pattern mask to form gate oxide regions. The pattern mask is removed from the substrate and a blanket implantation of the sacrificial oxide layer is performed. The substrate is then cleaned to remove the sacrificial oxide layer leaving the substrate in readiness for further processing.

    摘要: Provided are methods and composition for forming a multi-layer isolation structure on an integrated circuit substrate. A process can include selecting a lower dielectric material for the lower dielectric layer and selecting an upper dielectric material for the upper dielectric layer. A range of effective dielectric constants that correspond to the thicknesses the lower and upper dielectric materials are selected. A range of thicknesses for each of the lower and upper dielectric layers are determined from a range of acceptable dielectric constants using information indicating an effective dielectric constant corresponding to thicknesses of the materials for both the lower upper dielectric layers, enabling the formation of the multi-layer isolation structure.

    摘要: A method for making an electronic device, such as a MOS transistor, including the steps of forming a plurality of semiconductor islands on an electrically functional substrate, printing a first dielectric layer on or over a first subset of the semiconductor islands and optionally a second dielectric layer on or over a second subset of the semiconductor islands, and annealing. The first dielectric layer contains a first dopant, and the (optional) second dielectric layer contains a second dopant different from the first dopant. The dielectric layer(s), semiconductor islands and substrate are annealed sufficiently to diffuse the first dopant into the first subset of semiconductor islands and, when present, the second dopant into the second subset of semiconductor islands.

    摘要: The present invention relates to electrically active devices (e.g., capacitors, transistors, diodes, floating gate memory cells, etc.) having dielectric, conductor, and/or semiconductor layers with smooth and/or dome-shaped profiles and methods of forming such devices by depositing or printing (e.g., inkjet printing) an ink composition that includes a semiconductor, metal, or dielectric precursor. The smooth and/or dome-shaped cross-sectional profile allows for smooth topological transitions without sharp steps, preventing feature discontinuities during deposition and allowing for more complete step coverage of subsequently deposited structures. The inventive profile allows for both the uniform growth of oxide layers by thermal oxidation, and substantially uniform etching rates of the structures. Such oxide layers may have a uniform thickness and provide substantially complete coverage of the underlying electrically active feature. Uniform etching allows for an efficient method of reducing a critical dimension of an electrically active structure by simple isotropic etch.
