    摘要: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device. In an exemplary embodiment, the process includes the following steps. The process initially defines a first registration mark associated with a first mask level of the semiconductor device and a second registration mark associated with a second mask level of the semiconductor device. The process then defines a third registration mark associated with a third mask level of the semiconductor device based on the first and second registration marks. Finally, the process aligns the third mask level along a first axis with respect to the first registration mark, and aligns the third mask level along a second axis with respect to the second registration mark. According to various aspects of the invention, the semiconductor fabrication process is used to fabricate DRAM trench cells, or any other type of semiconductor device whose fabrication requires tight overlay alignment between the various levels of the device.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for providing patterned recess formation in a previously recessed area of a semiconductor structure, i.e. DRAM trench capacitor, using acid diffusion to selectively activate some, but not all of the acid sensitive material that is filled within the recessed areas of such structures. By employing the method of the present invention, it is possible to recess all the previously recessed areas at the same time providing the same level of recessed acid sensitive material within the previous recessed areas, recess some of the previously recessed areas to a desired level leaving other portions of the structure unrecessed, or recessing the previously recessed areas to contain different levels of the acid sensitive material.

    摘要: A bottle-shaped trench capacitor with a buried plate is formed in a controlled etch process. The bottle-shape is fabricated by etching deep trenches from a layered substrate, using the layers as a mask, and covering the side walls of the substrate with protective oxide and nitride layers. With the side walls covered, deep trench etching is then resumed, and a lower trench portion, below the protective layers of the side wall are formed. By diffusing a first dopant in the lower portion of the deep trench region, using the side wall protective layers as a mask, an etch stop is established for a wet etch process at the p/n junction established by the first dopant. The width of the lower trench portion is regulated by the time and temperature of the diffusion. Removing the doped material and applying a second dopant to the lower trench portion establishes a continuous buried plate region between trenches. A capacitor is formed by applying an insulating layer to the trench and filling with a conductor.

    摘要: A finFET structure includes a semiconductor fin located over a substrate. A gate electrode is located traversing the semiconductor fin. The gate electrode has a spacer layer located adjoining a sidewall thereof. The spacer layer does not cover completely a sidewall of the semiconductor fin. The gate electrode and the spacer layer may be formed using a vapor deposition method that provides for selective deposition upon a sidewall of a mandrel layer but not upon an adjoining surface of the substrate, so that the spacer layer does not cover completely the sidewall of the semiconductor fin. Other microelectronic structures may be fabricated using the lateral growth methodology.

The CMOS device includes (a) a semiconductor substrate, (b) a P well and an N well in the semiconductor substrate, (c) a well isolation region sandwiched between and in direct physical contact with the P well and the N well. The P well comprises a first shallow trench isolation (STI) region, and the N well comprises a second STI region. A bottom surface of the well isolation region is at a lower level than bottom surfaces of the first and second STI regions. When going from top to bottom of the well isolation region, an area of a horizontal cross section of the well isolation region is an essentially continuous function.
