    摘要: An SOI transistor has a self-aligned body contact formed through an extension to the gate, thereby forming the body contact with minimal increase in area and also avoiding the need to tie the source to the body, as in prior art schemes that passed the body contact through the source. The body contact aperture is formed by raising the source and drain to define an initial aperture, depositing a conformal layer that is etched to create aperture-defining sidewalls and etching the contact aperture using these sidewalls to define sidewall support members that support insulating sidewalls to isolate the collection electrode from both the gate and from the source and drain.

    摘要: A process for forming air-filled isolation trenches in a semiconductor substrate by a conformal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of a silicon dioxide layer over the passivated surface of the semiconductor substrate in which intersecting trenches have been formed and partially filled with a material that can subsequentially be removed from under the CVD silicon dioxide layer, such materials include water soluble glasses and polymeric materials, such as a polyimide. The CVD silicon dioxide is etched back to the passivated surface of the semiconductor substrate, forming openings in the layer at the trench intersections that extend to the trench fill material. The fill material is removed through these openings. A CVD silicon dioxide layer is deposited to fill the openings, leaving a silicon dioxide cap bridging the air-filled trench. Water soluble glasses that may be used to fill the trench include BSG glass (B.sub.2 O.sub.3 content greater than 55%) and germanosilicate glass (GeO.sub.2 content greater than 50%). A polymer fill, such as a polyimide, if used, may be removed by plasma etching in O.sub.2.

    摘要: A method of forming a thin silicon SOI layer by wafer bonding, the thin silicon SOI layer being substantially free of defects upon which semiconductor structures can be subsequently formed, is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of:a) providing a first wafer comprising a silicon substrate of a first conductivity type, a diffusion layer of a second conductivity type formed thereon and having a first etch characteristic, a thin epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type formed upon the diffusion layer and having a second etch characteristic different from the first etch characteristic of the diffusion layer, and a thin oxide layer formed upon the thin epitaxial layer;b) providing a second wafer comprising a silicon substrate having a thin oxide layer formed on a surface thereof;c) wafer bonding said first wafer to said second wafer;d) removing the silicon substrate of said first wafer in a controlled mechanical manner; ande) removing the diffusion layer of said first wafer using a selective dry low energy plasma process to expose the underlying thin epitaxial layer, the selective dry low energy plasma process providing an etch ratio of the first etch characteristic to the second etch characteristic such that the diffusion layer is removed with minimal formation of any shallow plasma radiation damage to the exposed underlying thin epitaxial layer.

    摘要: A method and the resulting product for isolating lightly doped silicon islands from each other and from a common substrate. The substrate is covered with a first heavily doped epi layer. The first layer is covered with a lightly doped second epi layer. A pair of spaced deep trenches are provided which extend from the top surface of the second layer, through the first layer and into the substrate. The interior walls of the trenches are lined with oxide. A pair of heavily doped reach-through diffusions extending from said top surface to the first layer is oriented perpendicularly to the deep trenches and fully extends between the trenches. The heavily doped reach-through diffusions and the contiguous first layer are removed by a single anisotropic etching step to yield silicon islands isolated by air except where the islands contact the oxide-lined deep trenches. The air isolation preferably is partially replaced with other dielectric material.

    摘要: An oxynitride material is used to form shallow trench isolation regions in an integrated circuit structure. The oxynitride may be used for both the trench liner and trench fill material. The oxynitride liner is formed by nitriding an initially formed oxide trench liner. The oxynitride trench fill material is formed by directly depositing a high density plasma (HDP) oxide mixture of SiH4 and O2 and adding a controlled amount of NH3 to the plasma mixture. The resultant oxynitride structure is much more resistant to trench fill erosion by wet etch, for example, yet results in minimal stress to the surrounding silicon. To further reduce stress, the nitrogen concentration may be varied by varying the proportion of O2 to NH3 in the plasma mixture so that the nitrogen concentration is maximum at the top of the fill material.
