摘要:
The present invention comprises a method including the steps of providing a substrate; forming a trench in the substrate; forming a buried plate in the substrate about the trench; depositing a dielectric layer within the trench; and then depositing a P-type metal atop the dielectric layer, where the dielectric layer is positioned between the P-type metal and the buried plate. Another aspect of the present invention provides a trench capacitor where said trench capacitor comprises a trench formed in a substrate, a buried plate formed in the substrate about the trench; a node dielectric; and a P-type metal liner deposited within the trench, where the P-type metal liner is separated from the buried plate by the node dielectric. A P-type metal is defined as a metal having a work function close to the Si valence band, approximately equal to 5.1 eV.

摘要:
In the course of forming the collar dielectric in a DRAM cell having a deep trench capacitor, a number of filling and stripping steps required in the prior art are eliminated by the use of a spin-on material that can withstand the high temperatures required in front-end processing and also provide satisfactory filling ability and etch resistance. The use of atomic layer deposition for the formation of the collar dielectric reduces the need for a high temperature anneal of the fill material and reduces the amount of outgassing or cracking.

A semiconductor structure is provided. The structure includes an n-type field-effect-transistor (NFET) being formed directly on top of a strained silicon layer, and a p-type field-effect-transistor (PFET) being formed on top of the same stained silicon layer but via a layer of silicon-germanium (SiGe). The strained silicon layer may be formed on top of a layer of insulating material or a silicon-germanium layer with graded Ge content variation. Furthermore, the NFET and PFET are formed next to each other and are separated by a shallow trench isolation (STI) formed inside the strained silicon layer. Methods of forming the semiconductor structure are also provided.
摘要:
Semiconductor structures including a high k gate dielectric material that has at least one surface threshold voltage adjusting region located within 3 nm or less from an upper surface of the high k gate dielectric are provided. The at least one surface threshold voltage adjusting region is formed by a cluster beam implant step in which at least one threshold voltage adjusting impurity is formed directly within the high k gate dielectric or driven in from an overlying threshold voltage adjusting material which is subsequently removed from the structure following the cluster beam implant step.

A method of forming a semiconductor material of a photovoltaic device that includes providing a surface of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material, and annealing the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material in a deuterium containing atmosphere. Deuterium from the deuterium-containing atmosphere is introduced to the lattice of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material through the surface of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material. In some embodiments, the deuterium that is introduced to the lattice of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material increases the stability of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material.
