    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 semiconductor fabrication method. The method includes providing a semiconductor structure which includes (i) a semiconductor layer, (ii) a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor layer, and (iii) a gate electrode region on the gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer is sandwiched between and electrically insulates the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode region. The semiconductor layer and the gate dielectric layer share a common interfacing surface which defines a reference direction perpendicular to the common interfacing surface and pointing from the semiconductor layer to the gate dielectric layer. Next, a resist layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer and the gate electrode region. Next, a cap portion of the resist layer directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction is removed without removing any portion of the resist layer not directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction.
