摘要:
A deep trench is formed to a depth midway into a buried insulator layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A top semiconductor layer is laterally recessed by an isotropic etch that is selective to the buried insulator layer. The deep trench is then etched below a bottom surface of the buried insulator layer. Ion implantation is performed at an angle into the deep trench to dope the sidewalls of the deep trench beneath the buried insulator layer, while the laterally recessed sidewalls of the top semiconductor layer are not implanted with dopant ions. A node dielectric and trench fill materials are deposited into the deep trench. A buried strap has an upper buried strap sidewall that is offset from a lower buried strap sidewall and a deep trench sidewall.

摘要:
Methods of forming a deep trench capacitor through an SOI substrate, and a capacitor are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes forming a trench opening into the SOI substrate to the silicon substrate; depositing a sidewall spacer in the trench opening; etching to form the deep trench into the silicon substrate; forming a first electrode by implanting a dopant into the silicon substrate, whereby the sidewall spacer protects the BOX layer and the silicon layer; removing the sidewall spacer; depositing a node dielectric within the deep trench; and forming a second electrode by depositing a conductor in the deep trench. Implanting creates a substantially uniform depth doped region except at a portion adjacent to a lowermost portion of the deep trench, which may be substantially bulbous. The BOX layer is protected from undercutting by the sidewall spacer, and the implantation removes the need for out-diffusing dopant from silica glass.

摘要:
A bottle shaped trench for an SOI capacitor is formed by a simple processing sequence. A non-conformal dielectric layer with an optional conformal dielectric diffusion barrier layer underneath is formed on sidewalls of a deep trench. Employing an isotropic etch, the non-conformal dielectric layer is removed from a bottom portion of the deep trench, leaving a dielectric spacer covering sidewalls of the buried insulator layer and the top semiconductor layer. The bottom portion of the deep trench is expanded to form a bottle shaped trench, and a buried plated is formed underneath the buried insulator layer. The dielectric spacer may be recessed during formation of a buried strap to form a graded thickness dielectric collar around the upper portion of an inner electrode. Alternately, the dielectric spacer may be removed prior to formation of a buried strap.
摘要:
A memory cell has an access transistor and a capacitor with an electrode disposed within a deep trench. STI oxide covers at least a portion of the electrode, and a liner covers a remaining portion of the electrode. The liner may be a layer of nitride over a layer of oxide. Some of the STI may cover a portion of the liner. In a memory array a pass wordline may be isolated from the electrode by the STI oxide and the liner.
