Methods of forming a carbon containing, minority carrier barrier layer on the surface of a semiconductor, which methods may be used to form barriers between the emitter of a single crystal transistor and a polysilicon layer in electrical contact therewith, and thus transistors with an emitter with enhanced efficiency.

Recessed isolation oxide is deposited in shallow trenches simultaneoulsy with oxide deposition in deep isolation trenches. A single planarization of both trench fillings provides efficient recessed isolation oxide without bird's beak or bird's head problems of LOCOS isolation oxide. Self-aligned trench filling by successive conformal depositions of oxide and polysilicon followed by planarization to remove polysilicon away from the trenches. The the remaining polysilicon may be used as an oxide etch mask to remove all of the oxide except in the trenches.

A bonded wafer 100 has a device substrate 16 with isolation trenches 30 defining device regions 18. Oxide dogbone structures are removed before filling trenches 30. Voids 36 in the trenches are spaced from the top of the trenches. The trenches are covered with an oxide layer 30 and filled with polysilicon 34. A LOCOS mask structure comprising a layer of CVD pad oxide and silicon nitride 50 cover the trenches and the adjacent device substrate regions.
摘要:
A bonded wafer with a bond junction having low resistivity due to the low level of oxides at the bond junction. A plasma that removes native oxide layers from wafers is exposed to the wafers. The plasma forms a hydrophobic polymer seal on the wafers, inhibiting subsequent native oxide growth upon exposure to air. The polymer seal on the wafers to be bonded are pressed together and the wafers are annealed to form the bonded wafer in a non-oxidizing ambient. The bond junction formed is primarily silicon to silicon and silicon to carbon bonds.

A method of forming a high quality silicon on insulator semiconductor device using wafer bonding. The annealing time for the wafer bonding process is substantially reduced through the use of a rapid thermal annealer, thereby resulting in minimizing the redistribution of the doping concentration resulting from the annealing process.
摘要:
A low temperature coefficient resistor(TCRL) has some unrepaired ion implant damage. The damaged portion raises the resistance and renders the resistor less sensitive to operating temperature fluctuations. A polysilicon thin film low temperature coefficient resistor and a method for the resistor's fabrication overcomes the coefficient of resistance problem of the prior art, while at the same time eliminating steps from the BiCMOS fabrication process, optimizing bipolar design tradeoffs, and improving passive device isolation. A low temperature coefficient of resistance resistor (TCRL) is formed on a layer of insulation, typically silicon dioxide or silicon nitride, the layer comprising polysilicon having a relatively high concentration of dopants of one or more species. An annealing process is used for the implanted resistor which is shorter than that for typical prior art implanted resistors, leaving some intentional unannealed damage in the resistor. The planned damage gives the TCRL a higher resistance without increasing its temperature coefficient. A process for fabrication of the resistor is used which combines separate spacer oxide depositions, provides buried layers having different diffusion coefficients, incorporates dual dielectric trench sidewalls that double as a polish stop, supplies a spacer structure that controls precisely the emitter-base dimension, and integrates bipolar and CMOS devices with negligible compromise to the features of either type.
