摘要:
A process for forming a composite insulator spacer on the sides of a buried stack capacitor structure, wherein the buried stack capacitor structure is located overlying a portion of an insulator filled, shallow trench isolation (STI) region, has been developed. A thin silicon nitride spacer is first formed on the sides of the completed buried stack capacitor structure, followed by deposition of a silicon oxide layer. An anisotropic dry etch procedure is next employed removing a top portion of the silicon oxide layer, and resulting in a partially defined silicon oxide spacer. A critical wet etch procedure is next used to remove the bottom portion of the silicon oxide layer, defining the final silicon oxide spacer of the composite insulator spacer, now comprised of a silicon oxide spacer on an underlying silicon nitride spacer. The wet etch procedure allows a gradual slope to be created at the composite insulator spacer—STI region interface, reducing the risk of leaving, or forming polysilicon residuals or stringers on the underlying surface, which can occur during definition of a MOSFET gate structure. The elimination of the polysilicon stringers reduces the risk of leakage between SRAM cell elements, such as buried stack capacitor structures, and MOSFET devices.

A method for fabricating a dog-bone in a DRAM device, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor structure having an upper silicon layer with STIs formed therein is provided. The semiconductor structure has a LOGIC region and a DRAM region with a stitch region therebetween. A polysilicon layer is formed over the semiconductor structure. A dopant is selectively implanted in the polysilicon region within the DRAM region, and the portion of the stitch region within the DRAM region, to form a doped poly segment, and an undoped poly segment within the LOGIC region, and the portion of the stitch region within the LOGIC region. A hard mask is formed over the doped poly segment and the undoped poly segment and patterned to form at least one patterned first hard mask portion only over the word line doped poly segment within the DRAM region. At least one second mask layer portion is formed over the undoped poly segment within the LOGIC region and at least one third mask layer portion is formed over the doped poly segment in the portion of the stitch region within the DRAM region. The doped poly segment and undoped poly segment are etched to form: undoped poly periphery logic gate portions within the LOGIC region; doped poly dog-bone within the portion of the stitch region within the DRAM region; and doped poly word lines within the DRAM region. The second and third mask layer portions are stripped to expose the undoped poly periphery logic gate portions and the doped poly dog-bone.

A process for fabricating a buried stack capacitor structure, to be used in a one transistor, RAM cell, has been developed. The process features formation of a self-aligned, ring shaped storage node opening, formed in a top portion of an silicon oxide filled, shallow trench shape, via a selective dry etch procedure. The selective dry etch procedure in combination with subsequent selective wet etch procedures, create bare portions of semiconductor substrate at the junction of the ring shaped storage node opening and the adjacent top surface of semiconductor, allowing a heavily doped region to be created in this region. The presence of the heavily doped region reduces the node to substrate resistance encountered when a storage node structure is formed in the ring shaped storage node structure, as well as on the overlying the heavily doped region.

A new method is provided for the creation of a 1T RAM cell. Standard processing is applied to create STI trenches in the surface of a substrate, N2 implantations are performed into the sidewalls of the STI trenches. A layer of lining oxide is created, the implanted N2 interacts with the lining oxide to form SiON over exposed surfaces of the STI trenches. STI oxide is deposited and polished, filling the STI trenches there-with. Crown patterning is performed to define capacitor areas, the crown patterning stops on a layer of etch stop material and the created SION and partially removes STI oxide from the STI trenches. Layers of etch stop material, exposed SiON and pad oxide are removed, exposing the surface of the silicon substrate, the etched layers of STI oxide are not affected by this removal. A layer of SAC oxide is grown, n-well and p-well implantations are performed into the surface of the substrate. The layer of SAC oxide is removed, gate oxide is grown, polysilicon is deposited and patterned and etched, forming polysilicon gate material and polysilicon top plate of the capacitor. Standard processing is further applied to complete the 1T-RAM cell by providing gate spacers and impurity implantations for the gate electrode, by saliciding contact surfaces and by providing contacts to the points of contact of the cell.

An electronic device with multi-phase mechanism including a host, a storage device and a carriage is provided in the present invention. The storage device is slidably disposed in the host and adapted to be pulled out from the host. The carriage is slidably disposed in the storage device and adapted to be pulled out from the storage device. Through the storage device slidably disposing in the host and being adapted to be pulled out from the host, it facilitates the user to take or replace a content from the storage device. When the carriage is moved out from the storage device in a first phase and then the storage device is pulled out from the host in a second phase, the content in the storage device is taken out.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed herein for a reverse-connection STT MTJ element of a MRAM to overcome the source degeneration effect when switching the magnetization of the MTJ element from the parallel to the anti-parallel direction. A memory cell of a MRAM having a reverse-connection MTJ element includes a switching device having a source, a gate, and a drain, and a reverse-connection MTJ device having a free layer, a fixed layer, and an insulator layer interposed between the free layer and the fixed layer. The free layer of the reverse-connection MTJ device is connected to the drain of the switching device and the fixed layer is connected to a bit line (BL). The reverse-connection MTJ device applies the lower IMTJ capability of the memory cell caused by the source degeneration effect to the less stringent IMTJ(AP->P) while preserving the higher IMTJ capability for the more demanding IMTJ(P->AP).
