摘要:
Polysilicon (20) in a trench (21) is etched at an angle to produce a conductor within the trench that has shape characteristics which approximate the shadow of the side wall (26) of the trench (21) closest the beam source. Specifically, when the first side wall (26) is closest the beam source and the second side wall (27) is furthest from the beam source, the polysilicon on the first side wall (26) is almost as high as the first side wall (26), while the polysilicon on the more exposed side wall (27) is considerably lower than the first side wall (26) and approximates the shadow of the first side wall (26) on the second side wall (27) relative to the beam. The polysilicon (20) in the trench (21) may be in the shape of a solid angled block approximating the shadow line from the top of side wall (26) to side wall (27); however, it is preferred that the polysilicon take the form of a conformal layer in trench (21) prior to etching such that the polysilicon ultimately has an angled "U" shape which approximates the shadow line. Contact is made to the polysilicon (20) using strap (23) that electrically connects the side wall (26) with the polysilicon (20). Strap (23) is sized such that it does not extend to the opposite side wall (27) of trench (21), thereby avoiding short circuits. Having the polysilicon (20) approximate the shadow line of the etch permits narrowing the distance between adjacent straps (23) and (24) in an array without the risk of creating a short circuit.
摘要:
A process for forming a thin film on a surface of a semiconductor device. The process involves formation of a silicon dioxide film by plasma enhanced thermal oxidation, employing a mixture of ozone and oxygen which are generated separately from the reactor chamber in a volume ratio of about 1-10/1, preferably about 5-7/1, at a temperature generally below 440.degree. C., preferably about 350.degree.-400.degree. C. The process is used to form sidewall oxide spacers on polysilicon gates for field effect transistors. A relatively fast oxidation rate is achieved at a temperature significantly below that employed in conventional oxidation processes, and this serves to reduce dopant diffusion from the polysilicon. In addition, the resulting film demonstrates low stress with good conformal step coverage of the polysilicon gates. Another use of the process is to grow thin gate oxides and oxide-nitride-oxide with a thickness of less than 100.ANG.. An oxide film of uniform thickness is formed by controlling the temperature, RF power, exposure time and oxygen/ozone ratio for thin gate oxide (

A Damascene process is provided for manufacturing a coil structure for a magnetic head. During the manufacturing process, an insulating layer is initially deposited after which a photoresist layer is deposited. A silicon dielectric layer is then deposited on the photoresist layer. After masking the silicon dielectric layer, at least one channel is etched in the photoresist layer and the silicon dielectric layer. Then, a conductive seed layer is deposited in the at least one channel. The at least one channel is then ready to be filled with a conductive material and chemically/mechanically polished to define a coil structure.

During manufacture, a magnetoresistive sensor having a ferromagnetic free layer is commonly provided with a tantalum cap layer. The tantalum cap layer provides protection to the sensor during manufacture and then is typically removed after performing annealing. The removal of the tantalum cap with a fluorine reactive ion etch leaves low volatility tantalum/fluorine byproducts. The present invention provides a method of using an argon/hydrogen reactive ion etch to remove the tantalum/fluorine byproducts. The resulting sensor has far less damage resulting from the presence of the fluorine byproducts.
