    摘要: A method for forming shallow trench isolation (STI) for semiconductor devices. A first hard mask is deposited over a semiconductor wafer, and a second hard mask is deposited over the first hard mask. The semiconductor wafer includes a first etching zone and at least a second etching zone disposed beneath the first etching zone. The etch process for the first etching zone and the etch process for the at least one second etching zone are selected such that smooth sidewall surface structures are formed within the semiconductor device. The etch processes for each subsequent etching zone may alternate between non-selective and selective etch processes to preserve at least the first hard mask material.

    摘要: Methods for forming or etching silicon trench isolation (STI) in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) region and a bulk silicon region, and a semiconductor device so formed, are disclosed. The STI can be etched simultaneously in the SOI and bulk silicon regions by etching to an uppermost silicon layer using an STI mask, conducting a timed etch that etches to a desired depth in the bulk silicon region and stops on a buried insulator of the SOI region, and etching through the buried insulator of the SOI region. The buried insulator etch for this process can be done with little complexity as part of a hardmask removal step. Further, by choosing the same depth for both the bulk and SOI regions, problems with a subsequent CMP process are avoided. The invention also cleans up the boundary between the SOI and bulk regions where silicon nitride residuals may exist.

    摘要: A trench capacitor and related methods are disclosed including a trench having lateral extensions extending in only one direction from the trench filled with a capacitor material. In one embodiment, the trench capacitor includes a trench within a substrate, and at least one lateral extension extending from the trench in only one direction, wherein the trench and each lateral extension are filled with a capacitor material. The lateral extensions increase surface area for the trench capacitor, but do not take up as much space as conventional structures.

    摘要: A FinFET having spacers with a substantially uniform profile along the length of a gate stack which covers a portion of a fin of semiconductor material formed on a substrate is provided by depositing spacer material conformally on both the fins and gate stack and performing an angled ion impurity implant approximately parallel to the gate stack to selectively cause damage to only spacer material deposited on the fin. Due to the damage caused by the angled implant, the spacer material on the fins can be etched with high selectivity to the spacer material on the gate stack.
