    摘要: A method is provided for planarizing a structure such as a shallow trench isolation region on a semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor substrate is provided having raised and lowered regions with substantially vertical and horizontal surfaces. The lowered regions may correspond to trench regions. The upper regions are covered by a masking layer of nitride having a predetermined thickness. Filler material such as non-conformal high density plasma oxide may be deposited over the horizontal surfaces to a thickness terminating within that of the thickness of the nitride layer. The raised regions of the filler material are then selectively removed in a single planarizing step without removing the filler material in the lowered regions using a fixed abrasive hard polishing pad, as opposed to an abrasive slurry.

    摘要: A flash memory cell comprises a substrate having a trench formed below the substrate surface, a vertical bit line or auxiliary gate deposited in the trench below the surface, a drain region formed in the substrate below the bit line, and a split floating gate deposited in the trench below the surface to a depth less than the vertical bit line. The floating gate includes a first vertical portion on one side of the bit line and a second vertical portion on another side of the bit line opposite the first vertical portion, with each portion of the gate being accessed by the bit line. The memory cell further includes a source region formed below the surface spaced apart from and adjacent each of the floating gate portions and a word line or control gate extending over the substrate, bit line and floating gate portions. The vertical bit line and split floating gate portions extend from the substrate surface to the bottom of the trench, and adjacent portions of the bit line and the floating gate portions extend above the substrate surface at substantially the same height.

    摘要: A method is provided for planarizing a structure such as a shallow trench isolation region on a semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor substrate is provided having raised and lowered regions with substantially vertical and horizontal surfaces. The lowered regions may correspond to trench regions. Filler material such as non-conformal high density plasma oxide may be deposited over the horizontal surfaces to at least a thickness equal to a predetermined height so as to provide raised and lowered regions of the filler material. The raised regions of the filler material may then be selectively removed without removing the filler material in the lowered regions.

    摘要: An integrated circuit decoupling capacitor is divided into a plurality of discrete segments. The segments are connected electrically in parallel and are redundant to an extent that if one segment (or if desired more than one segment) fails, the remaining segments have sufficient capacitance to provide the required decoupling function. Each decoupling capacitor segment has a fuse connected in series with it. The fuse opens in response to a fault in a decoupling capacitor segment that would otherwise cause that segment to short the power supply to ground.
