摘要:
A trench capacitor having a substrate with a trench extending therein with a nested, e.g., concentric, conductive regions disposed within the trench. A dielectric material is disposed within the substrate. The dielectric material has portions thereof disposed between the concentric conductive regions to dielectrically electrically separate one of the conductive regions from another one of the conductive regions. The dielectrically separated conductive regions provide a pair of electrodes for the capacitor. Selected ones of the concentric conductive regions are electrically connected to provide one of the electrodes for the capacitor. The substrate has a conductive region therein and one of the concentric conductive regions providing one of the electrodes is electrically connected to the conductive region in the substrate. One of the concentric conductive regions is electrically connected to a conductive region in the substrate through a bottom portion of the trench.

A CMOS circuit has all-around dielectrically insulated source-drain regions. Trenches are formed in the source-drain regions. The trenches are etched into the mono-crystalline silicon and filled with undoped or very lightly doped silicon. The completely or nearly completely depleted silicon in the trenches represents a dielectrically insulating layer and insulates the source-drain regions towards the adjacent silicon substrate.

In an exemplary embodiment, a first polysilicon layer is provided with a SiO.sub.2 mask, and the first polysilicon layer is etched away under the SiO.sub.2 mask to produce SiO.sub.2 overhangs of a lateral extent corresponding to about twice the edge position error (.sup..+-. s). Then when second polysilicon layers are produced by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD), to occupy the cavities under the SiO.sub.2 overhangs, the desired nonoverlapping poly-Si-2 electrodes result after definition of those poly-Si-2 electrodes by known lithographical techniques.
摘要:
Low-resistance diffused regions useful as current-supply paths in IC MOS semiconductor circuits in silicon-gate technology are produced by forming a metal silicide on a doped polysilicon layer positioned on a substrate, applying a SiO.sub.2 layer over the silicide layer, structuring the resultant SiO.sub.2 -silicide-polysilicon triple layer in such a manner that areas of the substrate where the low resistance diffused regions are desired remain covered, thereafter executing gate oxidation and completing fabrication of the desired circuit.
摘要:
In an exemplary embodiment, after underetching a first polysilicon layer beneath spaced SiO.sub.2 cover layers to produce pairs of confronting SiO.sub.2 overhangs with gaps therebetween, and providing an insulating layer at the end faces of the spaced poly-Si-1 electrodes formed from the first polysilicon layer, a second polysilicon layer is produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) so as to fill the cavities beneath the SiO.sub.2 overhangs via the gaps between each pair of confronting overhangs. The second polysilicon layer is then etched away so as to leave intervening self-adjusting, nonoverlapping poly-Si-2 electrodes formed from the second polysilicon layer with surfaces terminating for example slightly below the upper surfaces of the SiO.sub.2 cover layers. For a center-to-center spacing of poly-Si-1 electrodes of six microns, the SiO.sub.2 overhangs may have an extent (e.g. 0.7 microns) about equal to the electrode layer thickness (e.g. 0.8 microns).
摘要:
The invention relates to a phase shift mask for lithographically producing small structures at the limit of a resolution that is predetermined by the wavelength of the exposure radiation. The phase shift mask has first regions A and second regions B that effect a phase-shift relative to the first regions. The second regions are arranged beside the first regions for producing a sudden phase shift along the boundaries between the first and the second regions. Individual first regions touch one another via corners at points, at which the second regions also touch one another via corners. The result is that the boundaries between first and second regions merge at these points and these points are opaque to the radiation. The invention makes it possible to expose extremely small contact holes with just a single exposure and thus leads to a reduction of costs in the fabrication of integrated semiconductor circuits.
