    摘要: The present invention relates to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to a structure and method for forming memory cells in a semiconductor device using a patterning layer and etch sequence. The method includes forming trenches in a layered semiconductor structure, each trench having an inner sidewall adjacent a section of the layered semiconductor structure between the trenches and an outer sidewall opposite the inner sidewall. The trenches are filled with polysilicon and the patterning layer is formed over the layered semiconductor structure. An opening is then patterned through the patterning layer, the opening exposing the section of the layered semiconductor structure between the trenches and only a vertical portion of the polysilicon along the inner sidewall of each trench. The layered semiconductor structure is then etched. The patterning layer prevents a second vertical portion of the polysilicon along the outer sidewall of each trench from being removed. By adding the patterning layer over the semiconductor structure during trench type memory cell fabrication, strap resistance and its variation can be reduced, resulting in better DRAM cell operation with less process dependence and improved strap overlay formation.

    摘要: A deep trench is formed in a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and a pad layer thereupon. A conductive trench fill region is formed in the deep trench. A planarizing material layer having etch selectivity relative to the pad layer is applied. A portion of the pad layer having an edge that is vertically coincident with a sidewall of the deep trench is exposed by lithographic means. Exposed portion of the pad layer are removed selective to the planarizing material layer, followed by removal of exposed portion of a semiconductor layer selective to the conductive trench fill region by an anisotropic etch. The planarizing material layer is removed and a shallow trench isolation structure having a lower sidewall that is self-aligned to an edge of the original deep trench is formed. Another shallow trench isolation structure may be formed outside the deep trench concurrently.

    摘要: Embodiments herein present a method for forming a poly filled substrate contact on a SOI structure. The method forms an insulator on a substrate and forms a substrate contact hole within the insulator. The insulator surface level is higher than final structure. Next, a poly overfill is performed, comprising filling the substrate contact hole with polysilicon and covering the insulator with the polysilicon. Specifically, the thickness of the polysilicon is greater than the size of the substrate contact hole. Following this, the polysilicon is etched, wherein a portion of the polysilicon is removed, and wherein the substrate contact hole is left partially filled with the polysilicon. Further, the etching of the polysilicon forms a concave recess within a top portion of the polysilicon. The etching of said polysilicon does not contact the substrate. The excess of insulator is polished off to the desired level.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a hybrid-orientation technology (HOT) wafer and a method of forming the HOT wafer with improved shallow trench isolation (STI) structures for patterning devices in both silicon-on-insulator (SOI) regions, having a first crystallographic orientation, and bulk regions, having a second crystallographic orientation. The improved STI structures are formed using a non-selective etch process to ensure that all of the STI structures and, particularly, the STI structures at the SOI-bulk interfaces, each extend to the semiconductor substrate and have an essentially homogeneous (i.e., single material) and planar (i.e., divot-free) bottom surface that is approximately parallel to the top surface of the substrate. Optionally, an additional selective etch process can be used to extend the STI structures a predetermined depth into the substrate.
