Improved gap fill of narrow spaces is achieved by using a doped silicate glass having a dopant concentration in a bottom portion thereof which is greater than an amount which causes surface crystal growth and in an upper portion thereof having a lower dopant concentration such that the overall dopant concentration of the doped silicate glass is below that which causes surface crystal growth.

Fabrication of devices that produces a surface with reduced dishing caused by polishing. The reduced dishing is the result of forming a first layer that partially covers a complex surface topography and a second layer the covers the surface topography. The second layer being more resistant to polishing than the first so as to reduce dishing in the wide spaces of the complex topography.

A trench capacitor having a substrate with a trench extending therein with a nested, e.g., concentric, conductive regions disposed within the trench. A dielectric material is disposed within the substrate. The dielectric material has portions thereof disposed between the concentric conductive regions to dielectrically electrically separate one of the conductive regions from another one of the conductive regions. The dielectrically separated conductive regions provide a pair of electrodes for the capacitor. Selected ones of the concentric conductive regions are electrically connected to provide one of the electrodes for the capacitor. The substrate has a conductive region therein and one of the concentric conductive regions providing one of the electrodes is electrically connected to the conductive region in the substrate. One of the concentric conductive regions is electrically connected to a conductive region in the substrate through a bottom portion of the trench.

A method and apparatus for forming a multi-constituent device layer on a wafer surface are disclosed. The multi-constituent device layer is formed by flowing a first chemistry comprising a first constituent and a second chemistry comprising a second constituent via a segmented delivery system into a reaction chamber. The reaction chamber comprises a susceptor for supporting and rotating the wafers. The segmented delivery system comprises alternating first and second segments into which the first and second chemistries, respectively, are flowed. The first segments comprise an area that is greater than an area of the second segments by an amount sufficient to effectively reduce the diffusion path of the first constituent. Reducing the diffusion path of the first constituent results in a more uniform distribution of the first constituent within the device layer.

Capacitor storage charge can be increased by increasing storage node area. A high aspect surface ratio stack capacitor is produced without increasing overall cell dimensions. The node is formed with layers of low doped and high doped concentration borophosphosilicate glass which is deposited by a single process step with precise nanometer dimensions, are selectively etched so that either doped or undoped layers will have a higher etch rate. This etching creates finger-like projections in the node, which provide for greater surface area using a very simplified process requiring fewer processing steps.

A method for the fabrication of a doped silicon layer, includes carrying out deposition by using a process gas containing SiH4, Si2H6 and a doping gas. The doped silicon layer which is thus produced can be used both as a gate electrode of an MOS transistor and as a conductive connection. At a thickness between 50 and 200 nm it has a resistivity less than or equal to 0.5 m&OHgr;cm.

摘要:
A method for planarizing a semiconductor structure having a first surface region with a high aspect ratio topography and a second surface region with a low aspect ratio topography. A flowable material is deposited over the first and second surface regions of the structure. A portion of the material fills gaps in the high aspect ratio topography to form a substantially planar surface over the high aspect ratio topography. A doped layer, for example phosphorus doped glass, is formed over the flowable oxide material. The doped layer is disposed over the high aspect ratio and over the low aspect ratio regions. Upper surface portions over the low aspect ratio region are higher than an upper surface of the flowable material. The upper portion of the doped layer is removed over both the first and second surface portions to form a layer with a substantially planar surface above both the high aspect ratio region and the low aspect ratio region. The method is used for filling gaps, such as gaps between adjacent gate electrodes formed in a gate electrode surface region of a semiconductor structure.
