    摘要: A trench isolation region (32) is fabricated to include a trench liner (28) comprised of aluminum nitride. The aluminum nitride trench liner is useful in borderless contact applications wherein a contact opening (56) is etched in an interlayer dielectric (54) and overlies both an active region. (e.g. doped region 52) and the trench isolation region. During formation of opening using etch chemistry which is selective to aluminum nitride, the trench liner protects a P-N junction at a corner region (58) of the trench to prevent exposing the junction. By protecting the junction, subsequent formation of a conductive plug (60) will not electrically short circuit the junction, and will keep diode leakage to within acceptable levels.

    摘要: In the present invention, an inlaid interconnect (44) is formed by chemical mechanical polishing. A polish assisting layer (31), in the form of an aluminum nitride layer, is formed between an interlayer dielectric (30) and an interconnect metal (42) to prevent dishing or cusping of the interconnect upon polishing. By allowing the sacrificial polish assisting layer (31) to be removed at close to the same rate as interconnect metal (42) during the final stages of polishing, dishing is avoided. The aluminum nitride layer also facilitates chemical vapor deposition of aluminum as the interconnect metal by providing a more suitable nucleation site for aluminum than exists with silicon dioxide.

    摘要: An anti-reflective coating (ARC) (20) is formed over a reflective, conductive layer (18), such as polysilicon or aluminum, in a semiconductor device (10). The ARC is an aluminum nitride layer. During photolithography, the ARC absorbs radiation waves (30), particularly absorbing wavelengths under 300 nanometers, such as deep ultraviolet (DUV) radiation at 248 nanometers. Being absorbed by the ARC, the radiation waves are prevented from reflecting off the underlying conductive layer. Thus, resist mask (34) is patterned and developed true to the pattern on lithography mask (24), resulting in accurate replication into appropriate layers of the device.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for depositing a layer of pure germanium can on a silicon substrate. This germanium layer is very thin, on the order of about 14 Å, and is less than the critical thickness for pure germanium on silicon. The germanium layer serves as an intermediate layer between the silicon substrate and the high k gate layer, which is deposited on the germanium layer. The germanium layer helps to avoid the development of an oxide interfacial layer during the application of the high k material. Application of the germanium intermediate layer in a semiconductor structure results in a high k gate functionality without the drawbacks of series capacitance due to oxide impurities. The germanium layer further improves mobility.

    摘要: A method for forming vias in a semiconductor device improves the resistance and reliability of contacts formed by use of an etch stop layer during the via formation process. An etch stop layer (40), preferably a silicon nitride or aluminum nitride layer, is deposited over conductive interconnect (34). A via (44) is etched in interlayer dielectric (42), stopping on etch stop layer (40). Etch stop layer (40) is then anisotropicly etched to expose the top of conductive interconnect (34), while maintaining a portion of the etch stop layer along a sidewall of the interconnect, and particularly along those sidewall portions which contain aluminum. A conductive plug (54) is then formed in the via, preferably using one or more barrier or glue layers (50). Formation of a tungsten plug using tungsten hexafluoride can then be performed without unwanted reactions between the tungsten source gas and the aluminum interconnect.

    摘要: A method and device for force sensing gesture recognition includes a processor, a motion detector, and a force detector. A motion detector senses a motion of the mobile device corresponding to a gesture and generates gesture data, the gesture data indicative of a command to be executed. A force sensor senses a magnitude of applied force and generates force data. The magnitude of applied force is indicative of a mode in which the command is to be executed. The processor is coupled to the motion detector and the force sensor. The processor executes the command as a function of the gesture data and the force data.
