    摘要: The invention includes methods for selectively etching insulative material supports relative to conductive material. The invention can include methods for selectively etching silicon nitride relative to metal nitride. The metal nitride can be in the form of containers over a semiconductor substrate, with such containers having upwardly-extending openings with lateral widths of less than or equal to about 4000 angstroms; and the silicon nitride can be in the form of a layer extending between the containers. The selective etching can comprise exposure of at least some of the silicon nitride and the containers to Cl2 to remove the exposed silicon nitride, while not removing at least the majority of the metal nitride from the containers. In subsequent processing, the containers can be incorporated into capacitors.

    摘要: The invention includes a method of depositing a noble metal. A substrate is provided. The substrate has a first region and a second region. The first and second regions are exposed to a mixture comprising a precursor of a noble metal and an oxidant. During the exposure, a layer containing the noble metal is selectively deposited onto the first region relative to the second region. In particular applications, the first region can comprise borophosphosilicate glass, and the second region can comprise either aluminum oxide or doped non-oxidized silicon. The invention also includes capacitor constructions and methods of forming capacitor constructions.

    摘要: The invention includes semiconductor constructions, and also includes methods of forming pluralities of capacitor devices. An exemplary method of the invention includes forming conductive storage node material within openings in an insulative material to form conductive containers. A retaining structure lattice is formed in physical contact with at least some of the containers, and subsequently the insulative material is removed to expose outer surfaces of the containers. The retaining structure can alleviate toppling or other loss of structural integrity of the container structures. The electrically conductive containers correspond to first capacitor electrodes. After the outer sidewalls of the containers are exposed, dielectric material is formed within the containers and along the exposed outer sidewalls. Subsequently, a second capacitor electrode is formed over the dielectric material. The first and second capacitor electrodes, together with the dielectric material, form a plurality of capacitor devices.

    摘要: A method of forming an MIM capacitor with low leakage and high capacitance is disclosed. A layer of titanium nitride (TiN) or boron-doped titanium nitride (TiBN) material is formed as a lower electrode over an optional capacitance layer of hemispherical grained polysilicon (HSG). Prior to the dielectric formation, the first layer may be optionally subjected to a nitridization or oxidation process. A dielectric layer of, for example, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is fabricated over the first layer and after the optional nitridization or oxidation process. An upper electrode of titanium nitride (TiN) or boron-doped titanium nitride (TiBN) is formed over the dielectric layer.
