摘要:
Isolation trenches and capacitor trenches containing vertical FETs (or any prior levels p-n junctions or dissimilar material interfaces) having an aspect ratio up to 60 are filled with a process comprising: applying a spin-on material based on silazane and having a low molecular weight; pre-baking the applied material in an oxygen ambient at a temperature below about 450 deg C.; converting the stress in the material by heating at an intermediate temperature between 450 deg C. and 800 deg C. in an H20 ambient; and heating again at an elevated temperature in an O2 ambient, resulting in a material that is stable up to 1000 deg C., has a compressive stress that may be tuned by variation of the process parameters, has an etch rate comparable to oxide dielectric formed by HDP techniques, and is durable enough to withstand CMP polishing.

Disclosed herein is a method, in an integrated, of forming a high-K node dielectric of a trench capacitor and a trench sidewall device dielectric at the same time. The method includes forming a trench in a single crystal layer of a semiconductor substrate, and forming an isolation collar along a portion of the trench sidewall, wherein the collar has a top below the top of the trench in the single crystal layer. Then, at the same time, a high-K dielectric is formed along the trench sidewall, the high-K dielectric extending in both an upper portion of the trench including above the isolation collar and in a lower portion of the trench below the isolation collar. The top of the isolation collar is then etched back to expose a portion of the single crystal substrate along the sidewall, and then, a node electrode is formed in conductive contact with the exposed sidewall and also in contact with the high-K dielectric in the lower portion, such that the high-K dielectric remains as a trench sidewall dielectric in the upper portion of the sidewall. In a DRAM memory cell structure, the trench sidewall dielectric may then be used as a gate dielectric of a vertical transistor which accesses the trench storage capacitor in the trench.
