    摘要: An improved method for forming shallow trench isolation structure is described. The present method comprises the steps of providing a pad oxide layer and a mask layer on a semiconductor substrate and forming a trench structure therein. Next, a liner oxide layer is formed on the surface of the trench structure in the semiconductor substrate and is extensively formed on the side surface of the mask layer exposed therein and the top surface of the mask layer by wet oxidation. A dielectric material is deposited on the liner oxide layer and fills the trench structure. The dielectric material layer is planarized. The mask layer and the pad oxide layer are then removed to form the isolation structures. The method for forming the shallow trench structures on a semiconductor structure in accordance with the present invention can eliminate the kink effect that occurs in the conventional method.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing shallow trench isolation structure includes the steps of fabricating a self-aligned silicon nitride mask over the trench region so that a kink effect due to the misalignment of mask during a conventional mask-making process can be avoided. Moreover, the silicon nitride mask requires fewer steps and less complicated operations to construct than a conventional reverse tone mask.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing shallow trench isolation structures. The method includes the steps of depositing insulating material into the trench of a substrate to form an insulation layer. The substrate has a plurality of active regions, each occupying a different area and having different sizes. In addition, there is a silicon nitride layer on top of each active region. Thereafter, a photoresist layer is then deposited over the insulation layer. Next, a portion of the photoresist layer is etched back to expose a portion of the oxide layer so that the remaining photoresist material forms a cap layer over the recessed area of the insulation layer. Subsequently, using the photoresist cap layer as a mask, the insulation layer is etched to remove a portion of the exposed oxide layer, thereby forming trenches within the oxide layer. After that, the photoresist cap layer is removed. Finally, a chemical-mechanical polishing operation is carried out to polish the insulation layer until the silicon nitride layer is exposed.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication method is provided for fabricating a shallow-trench isolation (STI) structure with a rounded corner in integrated circuits through a rapid thermal process (RTP). In the fabrication of the STI structure, a sharp corner is often undesirably formed. This sharp corner , if not eliminated, causes the occurrence of a leakage current when the resultant IC device is in operation that significantly degrades the performance of the resultant IC device. To eliminate this sharp corner , an RTP is performed at a temperature of above 1,100.degree. C., which temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature of the substrate, for about 1 to 2 minutes. The result is that the surface of the substrate is oxidized into an sacrificial oxide layer and the sharp corner is deformed into a rounded shape with a larger convex radius of curvature. This allows the problems arising from the existence of the sharp corner to be substantially eliminated. Compared to the prior art, this method not only is more simplified in process, but also allows a considerable saving in thermal budget, which makes this method more cost-effective to implement than the prior art.
