    摘要: A process for reducing the aspect ratio, for narrow diameter contact holes, formed in thick insulator layers, used to integrate logic and DRAM memory devices, on the same semiconductor chip, has been developed. The process of reducing the aspect ratio, of these contact holes, features initially forming, via patterning procedures, lower, narrow diameter contact holes, to active device regions, in the logic area, while also forming self-aligned contact openings to source/drain regions in the DRAM memory region. After forming tungsten structures, in the lower, narrow diameter contact holes, polycide bitline, and polysilicon capacitor structures, are formed in the DRAM memory region, via deposition, and patterning, of upper level insulator layers, and polysilicon and polycide conductive layers. Upper, narrow diameter openings, are then formed in the upper level insulator layers, exposing the top surface of tungsten structures, located in the lower, narrow diameter contact holes. The formation of upper tungsten structures, in the upper, narrow diameter contact openings completes the process of forming metal structures, in narrow diameter openings, with reduced aspect ratios, achieved via a two stage contact hole opening, and a two stage metal filling procedure.

    摘要: A process for forming a composite insulator spacer on the sides of a buried stack capacitor structure, wherein the buried stack capacitor structure is located overlying a portion of an insulator filled, shallow trench isolation (STI) region, has been developed. A thin silicon nitride spacer is first formed on the sides of the completed buried stack capacitor structure, followed by deposition of a silicon oxide layer. An anisotropic dry etch procedure is next employed removing a top portion of the silicon oxide layer, and resulting in a partially defined silicon oxide spacer. A critical wet etch procedure is next used to remove the bottom portion of the silicon oxide layer, defining the final silicon oxide spacer of the composite insulator spacer, now comprised of a silicon oxide spacer on an underlying silicon nitride spacer. The wet etch procedure allows a gradual slope to be created at the composite insulator spacer—STI region interface, reducing the risk of leaving, or forming polysilicon residuals or stringers on the underlying surface, which can occur during definition of a MOSFET gate structure. The elimination of the polysilicon stringers reduces the risk of leakage between SRAM cell elements, such as buried stack capacitor structures, and MOSFET devices.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a buried stack capacitor structure, to be used in a one transistor, RAM cell, has been developed. The process features formation of a self-aligned, ring shaped storage node opening, formed in a top portion of an silicon oxide filled, shallow trench shape, via a selective dry etch procedure. The selective dry etch procedure in combination with subsequent selective wet etch procedures, create bare portions of semiconductor substrate at the junction of the ring shaped storage node opening and the adjacent top surface of semiconductor, allowing a heavily doped region to be created in this region. The presence of the heavily doped region reduces the node to substrate resistance encountered when a storage node structure is formed in the ring shaped storage node structure, as well as on the overlying the heavily doped region.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for manufacturing metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors. The MIM capacitors may comprise an electrode, which may be a top or bottom electrode, which has a bottle neck. The MIM capacitors may comprise an electrode, which may be a top or bottom electrode, in contact with a sidewall of a via. The sidewall contact or the bottle neck of the electrode may burn out to form a high impedance path when the leakage current exceeds a specification, while the sidewall contact or the bottle neck of the electrode has no impact for normal MIM operations. The MIM capacitors may be used as decoupling capacitors.
