摘要:
Trench capacitors can be formed between lengthwise sidewalls of semiconductor fins, and source and drain regions of access transistors are formed in the semiconductor fins. A dummy gate structure is formed between end walls of a neighboring pair of semiconductor fins, and limits the lateral extent of raised source and drain regions that are formed by selective epitaxy. The dummy gate structure prevents electrical shorts between neighboring semiconductor fins. Gate spacers can be formed around gate structures and the dummy gate structures. The dummy gate structures can be replaced with dummy replacement gate structures or dielectric material portions, or can remain the same without substitution of any material. The dummy gate structures may consist of at least one dielectric material, or may include electrically floating conductive material portions.

A method of making a semiconductor device includes disposing a mask on a substrate; etching the mask to form an opening in the mask; etching a trench in the substrate beneath the opening in the mask; and implanting a dopant in an area of the substrate beneath the opening of the mask, the dopant capable of gettering mobile ions that can contaminate the substrate; wherein the dopant extends through the substrate from a sidewall of the trench and an endwall of the trench.

Method of forming a deep trench capacitor are provided. The method may include forming a deep trench in a substrate; forming a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) stack within a portion of the deep trench, the MIM stack forming including forming an outer electrode by co-depositing a refractory metal and silicon into the deep trench; and filling a remaining portion of the deep trench with a semiconductor.
摘要:
After formation of trench capacitors and source and drain regions and gate structures for access transistors, a dielectric spacer is formed on a first sidewall of each source region, while a second sidewall of each source region and sidewalls of drain regions are physically exposed. Each dielectric spacer can be employed as an etch mask during removal of trench top dielectric portions to form strap cavities for forming strap structures. Optionally, selective deposition of a semiconductor material can be performed to form raised source and drain regions. In this case, the raised source regions grow only from the first sidewalls and do not grow from the second sidewalls. The raised source regions can be employed as a part of an etch mask during formation of the strap cavities. The strap structures are formed as self-aligned structures that are electrically isolated from adjacent access transistors by the dielectric spacers.

After formation of semiconductor fins in an upper portion of a bulk semiconductor substrate, a shallow trench isolation layer is formed, which includes a dielectric material and laterally surround lower portions of each semiconductor fin. Trenches are formed between lengthwise sidewalls of neighboring pairs of semiconductor fins. Portions of the shallow trench isolation layer laterally surrounding each trench provide electrical isolation between the buried plate and access transistors. A strap structure can be formed by etching a via cavity overlying a portion of each trench and a source region of the corresponding access transistor, and filling the via cavity with a conductive material. A trench top oxide structure electrically isolates an inner electrode of each trench capacitor from an overlying gate line for the access fin field effect transistor.

A memory device is provided including a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate including a first semiconductor layer atop a buried dielectric layer, wherein the buried dielectric layer is overlying a second semiconductor layer. A capacitor is present in a trench, wherein the trench extends from an upper surface of the first semiconductor layer through the buried dielectric layer and extends into the second semiconductor layer. A protective oxide is present in a void that lies adjacent the first semiconductor layer, and a pass transistor is present atop the semiconductor on insulator substrate in electrical communication with the capacitor.
摘要:
Formation of deep trench capacitors and isolation structures are decoupled by completing the isolation structures prior to etching trenches for capacitors and forming capacitors therein or vice-versa. Such decoupling of the formation of these respective structures allows different materials to be used in the deep trench capacitors and the isolation structures such as use of low permeability or dielectric constant materials and/or low Young's modulus materials in isolation structures to provide reduced AC capacitive coupling across isolation structures and/or relief of stresses associated with use of high dielectric constant materials or metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures in deep trench capacitors. Such decoupling also allows increased efficiency of use of reaction chambers for the deep trench capacitors and the isolation structures.
