    摘要: A new method of forming a buried contact junction in a process involving shallow trench isolation is described. A first silicon oxide layer is deposited over a pad oxide layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate. An opening is etched in the first silicon nitride and pad oxide layers where they are not covered by a mask. The substrate underlying the opening is etched into to form a shallow trench. An oxide material is deposited over the surface of the first silicon nitride layer and within the shallow trench and planarized to the surface of the first silicon nitride layer wherein the oxide material forms a STI region. The first silicon nitride layer is removed whereby the STI protrudes above the pad oxide layer. The pad oxide layer is removed whereby the corners of the STI above the substrate are also removed. A second silicon nitride layer is deposited overlying a sacrificial oxide layer and etched away to leave silicon nitride spacers filling in and rounding the corners of the STI. The sacrificial oxide layer is removed. A gate electrode and source/drain regions are formed in and on the substrate wherein a source/drain is adjacent to the STI. The gate electrode and STI are covered with an insulating layer. An opening is etched through the insulating layer to the source/drain region wherein the silicon nitride spacer at the corner of the STI prevents etching of the STI. The opening is filled with a conducting layer to complete formation of a contact.

    摘要: This description relates to a method for fabricating a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device having a plurality of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) units. The method includes forming a bottom conductive layer, forming an anti-ferromagnetic layer and forming a tunnel layer over the bottom conductive layer and the anti-ferromagnetic layer. The method further includes forming a free magnetic layer, having a magnetic moment aligned in a direction that is adjustable by applying an electromagnetic field, over the tunnel layer and forming a top conductive layer over the free magnetic layer. The method further includes performing at least one lithographic process to remove portions of the bottom conductive layer, the anti-ferromagnetic layer, the tunnel layer, the free magnetic layer and the top conductive layer that is uncovered by the photoresist layer until the bottom conductive layer is exposed and removing portions of at least one sidewall of the MTJ unit.

    摘要: A method of forming of biological sensing structures including a portion of a substrate is recessed to form a plurality of mesas in the substrate. Each of the plurality of mesas has a top surface and a sidewall surface. A first light reflecting layer is deposited over the top surface and the sidewall surface of each mesa. A filling material is formed over a first portion of the first light reflecting layer. A stop layer is deposited over the filling material and a second portion of the first light reflecting layer. A sacrificial layer is formed over the stop layer and is planarized exposing the stop layer. A first opening is formed in the stop layer and the first light reflecting layer. A second light reflecting layer is deposited over the first opening. A second opening is formed in the second light reflecting layer.
