摘要： A method of forming a MOS DRAM cell having a trench capacitor in which the strap connection to the trench capacitor, the source, drain, and isolation are all raised above the surface of the single crystal silicon includes the steps of forming the trench capacitors, depositing a blanket gate stack including the gate oxide and a set of gate layers, and then depositing isolation members in apertures etched in the gate stack using the gate oxide as an etch stop. The same sidewalls that are used to form an LDD source and drain form a self-aligned aperture for a surface strap that insulates the strap from misaligned portions of the gate stack.

摘要： Improved packing density as well as improved performance and manufacturing yield is achieved in an electrically programmable memory by confining floating gate structures between isolation structures covered with a thin nitride layer. The confinement of the floating gate is achieved by planarization, preferably with a self-limiting chemical/mechanical polishing process, to the surface of the nitride layer covering the isolation structures. Gate oxide and control electrode connections can then be formed on a substantially planar surface without compromising the quality of the gate oxide or breakdown voltage the device must withstand for programming. Since severe topology is avoided over which these connections are formed, improved formation of low resistance connections, possibly including metal connections, are possible and allow scaling of transistors of the memory cells to be scaled to sizes not previously possible.

摘要： An integrated circuit structure which includes small area lateral bipolar and method for making the same is described. A semiconductor body, such as a monocrystalline silicon wafer, having surface regions thereof isolated from other such regions by a pattern of dielectric isolation is provided. At least two narrow widths PN junction regions are located within at least one of the surface regions. Each PN junction has a width dimension substantially that of its electrical contact. Substantially vertical conformal conductive layers electrically ohmic contact each of the PN junction regions. The PN junction regions are the emitter and collector regions for a lateral bipolar transistor. A base PN junction base region of an opposite conductivity is located between and contiguous to the emitter and the collector junctions. Substantially horizontal conductive layers are in electrical contact with an edge of each of the vertical conductive layers and separated from the surface regions by a first electrical insulating layer. A second insulating layer covers the conformal conductive layers. The horizontal conductive layer is patterned so as to have electrically separated conductive lines from one another. A third electrical insulating layer is located over the patterned horizontal conductive layers. An electrical ohmic contact is made to each of the horizontal conductive layers through an opening in the third electrical insulating layer which effectively makes electrical contacts to the emitter and collector regions through the patterned horizontal conductive layers and the vertical conductive layers. An electrical ohmic contact is made to the centrally located base region which contact is separated from the vertical conductive layers by the second insulating layer.

摘要： A trench capacitor DRAM cell with Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), a self-aligned buried strap and the method of making the cell. A trench capacitor is defined in a substrate. The trench capacitor's polysilicon (poly) plate is recessed below the surface of the substrate and the trench sidewalls are exposed above the poly. A doped poly layer is deposited over the surface contacting both the sidewall and the trench capacitor's poly plate. Horizontal portions of the poly layer are removed either through chemmech polishing or Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). A shallow trench is formed, removing one formerly exposed trench sidewall and a portion of the trench capacitor's poly plate in order to isolate the DRAM cell from adjacent cells. The remaining poly strap, along the trench sidewall contacting the poly plate, is self aligned to contact the source of the DRAM Pass gate Field Effect Transistor (FET). After the shallow trench is filled with oxide, FET's are formed on the substrate, completing the cell. In an alternate embodiment, instead of recessing the poly plate, a shallow trench is formed spanning the entire width of the trench capacitor. The deposited polysilicon is selectively removed, having straps that strap the poly plate to the shallow trench sidewall.

摘要： A shallow trench isolation structure is formed by a process having a reduced number of steps and thermal budget by filling trenches by liquid phase deposition of an insulating semiconductor oxide and heat treating the deposit to form a layer of high quality thermal oxide at an interface between the deposited oxide and the body of semiconductor material (e.g. substrate) into which the trench extends. This process yields an isolation structure with reduced stress and reduced tendency to develop charge leakage. The structure can be readily and easily planarized, particularly if a polish-stop layer is applied over the body of semiconductor material and voids and contamination of the deposited oxide are substantially eliminated by self-aligned deposition above the trench in the volume of apertures on a resist used to form the trench.

摘要： A method of forming an LDD field effect transistor with an inverted "T"-gate structure in which consecutive, conformal layers of polysilicon, metal and nitride or oxide are deposited to fill the recess in a composite interconnect layer on top of a trench isolated region of a semiconductor substrate. These conformal layers successively decrease in thickness and are selectively etched in two steps to form a self-aligned inverted T structure. A first reactive ion etch (RIE) step preferentially etches the exposed outer polysilicon to a certain depth. During a second step RIE the polysilicon layer is completely etched down to the a gate oxide surface and the metal layer is preferentially etched so that subtends only the remaining nitride or oxide cap.

摘要： A lightly doped drain, field effect transistor with an inverted "T"-gate structure has a gate electrode disposed on a polysilicon pad in a stack opening. The inner edge of a lightly-doped source and drain region is aligned with the gate electrode and its outer edge is aligned with an edge of the polysilicon pad. The inner edge of a heavily-doped source and drain region is aligned with the edge of the edge of the polysilicon pad and its outer edge is aligned with the wall surface that forms the opening. The inner edge of a source and drain contact region is aligned with the wall and extends under the stack.
