摘要:
A method fabricates a semiconductor structure having a plurality of memory cells that are provided in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and contains a plurality of planar selection transistors and a corresponding plurality of storage capacitors connected thereto. The selection transistors have respective first and second active regions of a second conductivity type. The first active regions are connected to the storage capacitors and the second active regions are connected to respective bit lines, and respective gate stacks, which are provided above the semiconductor substrate in a manner insulated by a gate dielectric. In this case, a single-sided halo doping is effected, and an excessive outdiffusion of the halo doping zones is prevented by introduction of a diffusion-inhibiting species.

摘要:
The present invention provides a fabrication method for a semiconductor structure in a substrate, the semiconductor structure having at least two regions that are to be patterned differently. A fabrication of a patterned first region in the substrate, so that the semiconductor structure has a non-patterned second region and the patterned first region, is followed by a deposition of a cover layer that grows over the patterned first region, so that the cover layer above the patterned first region forms a closure, which covers over the patterned first region. This is followed by a fabrication of the patterned second region, the patterned first region remaining protected at least by the closure of the cover layer. The final step effected is a removal of the cover layer above the semiconductor structure, which now has two differently patterned regions.

A method of forming a wiring level and an electrical isolation associated with the wiring level on a surface of a semiconductor wafer comprises the steps of providing the semiconductor wafer having said surface, forming a plurality of electrically conductive wiring lines upon said surface, each of the wiring lines having a spacing with respect to neighboring one of the wiring lines, depositing a first layer of amorphous carbon upon the wiring lines by means of non-conformal plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), such that air-filled voids formed below the first layer within the spacings between neighboring wiring lines. Alternatively, OSG (organo-silicon glass) or FSG (fluorine doped silicon glass) may be deposited to yield air-filled voids within the spacings. According to an embodiment, the carbon, OSG or FSG layers are used as an IMD-layer (line-to-line isolation), added by a further layer of a dielectric material, which then serves as an ILD-layer (level-to-level isolation).

摘要:
A semiconductor structure is fabricated to have a transistor cell region and a connection region. The transistors both of a transistor cell region and of a connection region are coated with a first oxide layer, the layer thickness of the first oxide layer being dimensioned in such a way that a gap region in each case remains present between the adjacent transistors in the transistor cell region. A sacrificial structure is subsequently applied between at least two adjacent transistors of the transistor cell region in the gap region. At least one gap region in each case remains free between two adjacent sacrificial structures. A second oxide layer is applied to the sacrificial structures and the first oxide layer. The first and second oxide layers are subjected to an etching step in which at least one spacer having a predetermined spacer width is formed on the side edges of at least one transistor of the connection region, the spacer being formed by the first and second oxide layers and the spacer width being determined by the layer thickness of the first and second oxide layers and also by the etching step.
