    摘要: A method for growing a dielectric layer on a substrate, in accordance with the present invention, includes the steps of providing a substrate having at least two crystallographic planes which experience different dielectric layer growth rates due to the at least two crystallographic planes. A first dielectric layer is grown on the at least two crystallographic planes such that the first dielectric layer has a first thickness on a first crystallographic plane and a second thickness on a second crystallographic plane. The first thickness is thicker than the second thickness for the first dielectric layer. Dopants are implanted through the first dielectric layer. A greater number of dopants are implanted in the substrate through the second thickness than through the first thickness of the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is then removed. A second dielectric layer is grown at a same location as the removed first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer has a first thickness on a first crystallographic plane and a second thickness on a second crystallographic plane. The first thickness and the second thickness of the second dielectric layer are closer in thickness than the first thickness and the second thickness of the first dielectric layer due to the implantation of the dopants.

    摘要: A system and method of forming an electrical connection (142) to the interior of a deep trench (104) in an integrated circuit utilizing a low-angle dopant implantation (114) to create a self-aligned mask over the trench. The electrical connection preferably connects the interior plate (110) of a trench capacitor to a terminal of a vertical trench transistor. The low-angle implantation process, in combination with a low-aspect ratio mask structure, generally enables the doping of only a portion of a material overlying or in the trench. The material may then be subjected to a process step, such as oxidation, with selectivity between the doped and undoped regions. Another process step, such as an etch process, may then be used to remove a portion of the material (120) overlying or in the trench, leaving a self-aligned mask (122) covering a portion of the trench, and the remainder of the trench exposed for further processing. Alternatively, an etch process alone, with selectivity between the doped and undoped regions, may be used to create the mask. The self-aligned mask then allows for the removal of selective portions of the materials in the trench so that a vertical trench transistor and a buried strap may be formed on only one side of the trench.

    摘要: A method of forming a vertically-oriented device in an integrated circuit using a selective wet etch to remove only a part of the sidewalls in a deep trench, and the device formed therefrom. While a portion of the trench perimeter (e.g., isolation collar 304) is protected by a mask (e.g., polysilicon 318), the exposed portion is selectively wet etched to remove selected crystal planes from the exposed portion of the trench, leaving a flat substrate sidewall (324) with a single crystal plane. A single side vertical trench transistor may be formed on the flat sidewall. A vertical gate oxide (e.g. silicon dioxide 330) of the transistor formed on the single crystal plane is substantially uniform across the transistor channel, providing reduced chance of leakage and consistent threshold voltages from device to device. In addition, trench widening is substantially reduced, increasing the device to device isolation distance in a single sided buried strap junction device layout.

    摘要: An alternating phase shift mask with dark loops thereon, a memory array fabricated with the alternating phase shift mask, and a method of fabricating the memory. The dark loops in the mask always separate first regions with 180° phase difference from second regions with 0° phase difference to define active areas or gate-lines in a DRAM chip. By using the alternating phase shift mask to pattern gate-lines or active areas in a DRAM array, no unwanted image is created in the DRAM array and only one exposure is needed to achieve high resolution requirement.
