    摘要: Semiconductor devices are fabricated in a strained layer region and strained layer-free region of the same substrate. A first semiconductor device, such as a memory cell, e.g. a deep trench storage cell, is formed in a strained layer-free region of the substrate. A strained layer region is selectively formed in the same substrate. A second semiconductor device (66, 68, 70), such as an FET, e.g. an MOSFET logic device, is formed in the strained layer region.

    摘要: A flash memory and a method of forming a flash memory, includes forming a polysilicon wordline on a substrate, the wordline having first and second sidewalls, the first sidewall being tapered, with respect to a surface of the substrate, to have a slope angle and the second sidewall having a slope angle greater than the slope angle of the first sidewall. Thereafter, a polysilicon spacer is formed on the second sidewall while simultaneously removing the polysilicon on the first sidewall. The polysilicon spacer forms a floating gate which is surrounded on a plurality of sides by the second sidewall.

    摘要: The process rules for manufacturing semiconductor devices such as MOSFET's are modified to provide dual work-function doping following the customary gate sidewall oxidation step, greatly reducing thermal budget and boron penetration concerns. The concern of thermal budget is further significantly reduced by a device structure which allows a reduced gap aspect ratio while maintaining low sheet resistance values. A reduced gap aspect ratio also relaxes the need for highly reflowable dielectric materials and also facilitates the use of angled source-drain (S-D) and halo implants. Also provided is a novel structure and process for producing a MOSFET channel, lateral doping profile which suppresses short channel effects while providing low S-D junction capacitance and leakage, as well as immunity to hot-carrier effects. This also affords the potential for reduction in the contact stud-to-gate conductor capacitance, because borderless contacts can be formed with an oxide gate sidewall spacer. As a result, the S-D junctions can be doped independently of the gate conductor doping, more easily allowing a variety of MOSFET structures.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, in which the depth of a divot in a shallow trench isolation can be decreased. The method comprises forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate, for isolating elements, forming a nitride film on a surface of the trench, depositing mask material on an entire surface of the semiconductor substrate, filling the trench with the mask material, etching the mask material until a surface level of the mask material in the trench falls below the surface of the semiconductor substrate, removing an exposed upper portion of the nitride film on the surface of the trench, removing the mask material from the trench, filling the trench with element-isolating material, thereby forming an element-isolating region, and forming a transistor in an element region isolated from another element region by the element-isolating region.

    摘要: A method for forming mixed high voltage/low voltage (HV/LV) transistors for CMOS devices is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, depletion of the gate conductor is controlled by leaving a fixed region of the gate conductor intrinsic, or lightly doped, thus separating the heavily doped low resistivity portion of the electrode with an intrinsic region by use of a conducting dopant barrier. The barrier is conductive in nature, but acts as a well-controlled diffusion barrier, stopping the “fast” diffusion which normally takes place in polysilicon, and eliminating diffusion between the conductors. Thereby, the device performance may be precisely predicted by carefully controlling the gate conductor thickness.

    摘要: Trench capacitors are fabricated utilizing a method which results in a metallic nitride as a portion of a node electrode in a lower region of the trench. The metallic nitride-containing trench electrode exhibits reduced series resistance compared to conventional trench electrodes of similar dimensions, thereby enabling reduced ground rule memory cell layouts and/or reduced cell access time. The trench capacitors of the invention are especially useful as components of DRAM memory cells having various trench configuration and design.
