    摘要: An etch process for increasing the alignment tolerances between capacitor components and an adjacent contact corridor in Dynamic Random Access Memories. The etch process is implemented in a capacitor structure formed over a semiconductor substrate The capacitor structure includes a first conductor, a dielectric layer on the first conductor and a second conductor on the dielectric layer. The second conductor has a horizontal region laterally adjacent to and extending away from the first conductor. The etch process comprises the steps of: (a) forming a layer of patterned photoresist over the second conductor, the photoresist being patterned to expose a portion of the horizontal region of the second conductor at a desired location of a contact corridor above a source/drain region in the substrate; (b) using the photoresist as an etch mask, anisotropically etching away the exposed portions of the horizontal region of the second conductor; and (c) using the photoresist again as an etch mask, isotropically etching away substantially all of the remaining portions of the horizontal region of the second conductor and thereby enlarging the area available for locating the contact corridor. Alternatively, the horizontal region of the second conductor is removed using a single isotropic etch.

    摘要: Semiconductor structures and methods of making a vertical diode structure are provided. The vertical diode structure may have associated therewith a diode opening extending through an insulation layer and contacting an active region on a silicon wafer. A titanium silicide layer may be formed over the interior surface of the diode opening and contacting the active region. The diode opening may initially be filled with an amorphous silicon plug that is doped during deposition and subsequently recrystallized to form large grain polysilicon. The silicon plug has a top portion that may be heavily doped with a first type dopant and a bottom portion that may be lightly doped with a second type dopant. The top portion may be bounded by the bottom portion so as not to contact the titanium silicide layer. In one embodiment of the vertical diode structure, a programmable resistor contacts the top portion of the silicon plug and a metal line contacts the programmable resistor.

    摘要: A method for forming a floating gate semiconductor device such as an electrically erasable programmable read only memory is provided. The device includes a silicon substrate having an electrically isolated active area. A gate oxide, as well as other components of a FET (e.g., source, drain) are formed in the active area. A self aligned floating gate is formed by depositing a conductive layer (e.g., polysilicon) into the recess and over the gate oxide. The conductive layer is then chemically mechanically planarized to an endpoint of the isolation layer so that all of the conductive layer except material in the recess and on the gate oxide is removed. Following formation of the floating gate an insulating layer is formed on the floating gate and a control gate is formed on the insulating layer.
