摘要:
A polysilicon structure and method of forming the polysilicon structure are disclosed, where the method includes a two-step deposition and planarization process. The disclosed process reduces the likelihood of defects such as voids, particularly where polysilicon is deposited in a trench having a high aspect ratio. A first polysilicon structure is deposited that includes a trench liner portion and a first upper portion. The trench liner portion only partially fills the trench, while the first upper portion extends over the adjacent field isolation structures. Next, at least a portion of the first upper portion of the first polysilicon structure is removed. A second polysilicon structure is then deposited that includes a trench plug portion and a second upper portion. The trench is filled by the plug portion, while the second upper portion extends over the adjacent field isolation structures. The second upper portion is then removed.

Closed loop control may be used to improve uniformity of contact or via critical dimension using chemical mechanical planarization. For example, real-time closed loop control may be used to adjust oxide buffing or over-polishing time in a chemical mechanical planarization process to more uniformly and consistently achieve a target critical dimension of a semiconductor wafer.

The present invention is related to methods of processing a semiconductor device. A plasma vapor deposition process is used to fill a trench with an oxide layer, wherein sharp corners are formed by the oxide layer. A pre-planarization sputtering process is performed to reduce the oxide layer corner sharpness. A planarization process is performed using polishing.

摘要:
An alignment mark is fabricated containing a mark portion and a trench structure. The trench structure surrounds the mark portion and is at a distance from the mark portion. The mark portion has a plurality of notches. Due to the erosion effect caused by the trench structure, it can prevent the residue leave in the notches of the alignment mark.

A chemical mechanical polishing method is disclosed. The method includes forming a film on a wafer having at least one trench structure thereon; polishing the surface of the film by providing a polishing composition to provide a first polished surface; rinsing the first polished surface with a rinse composition to provide a rinsed surface; and polishing the rinsed surface by providing a second polishing composition to provide a second polished surface.
