    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device forms a trench of a trench isolation region in a portion of a top surface of a semiconductor substrate. Oxide is deposited as a trench liner in the trench using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) high temperature oxidation (HTO). As LPCVD is a stress neutral process, stress defects in an interface between the silicon substrate and the oxide layer are avoided, so that subsequent etching steps in a local interconnect process are less likely to overetch at the interface. This reduces the possibility of junction leakage when the local interconnect is formed.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device forms a trench of a trench isolation region in a portion of a top surface of a semiconductor substrates. Oxide is deposited as a trench liner in the trench using high temperature high density plasma (HDP) deposition. As the high temperature HDP oxide deposition is a stress neutral process, stress defects in an interface between the silicon substrate and the oxide layer are avoided, so that subsequent etching steps in a local interconnect process are less likely to overreach at the interface. This reduces the possibility of junction leakage when the local interconnect is formed.

    摘要: A method of performing ultra-shallow junctions in a semiconductor wafer uses a silicon layer to achieve ultra-low silicon consumption during a salicide formation process. A refractory metal layer, such as a cobalt layer, is deposited over the gate and source/drain junctions of the semiconductor device. After a rapid thermal annealing is performed to form the high-ohmic phase of the salicide, a silicon layer is deposited at a low temperature over the semiconductor device. The silicon layer provides a source of silicon for consumption during a second thermal annealing step, reducing the amount of silicon of the source/drain junctions that is consumed. The second thermal annealing step is performed in a nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere so at the silicon layer is transformed into a silicon oxynitride bottom anti-reflective coating layer.

    摘要: Gate dielectric degradation due to plasma damage during replacement metal gate processing is cured and prevented from further plasma degradation by treatment of the gate dielectric after removing the polysilicon gate. Embodiments include low temperature vacuum annealing after metal deposition and CMP, annealing in oxygen and argon, ozone or a forming gas before metal deposition, or heat soaking in silane or disilane, before metal deposition.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for processing an organic memory cell. An exemplary system can employ an enclosed processing chamber, a passive layer formation component operative to form a passive layer on a first electrode, and an organic semiconductor layer formation component operative to form an organic semiconductor layer on the passive layer. A wafer substrate is not needed to transfer from a passive layer formation system to an organic semiconductor layer formation system. The passive layer is not exposed to air after formation of the passive layer and before formation of the organic semiconductor layer. As a result, conductive impurities caused by the exposure to air do not occur in the thin film layer, thus improving productivity, quality, and reliability of organic memory devices. The system can further employ a second electrode formation component operative to form a second electrode on the organic semiconductor layer.
