摘要： A method of forming a recessed electrically-insulating field oxide region in a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes the steps of oxidizing a surface of the substrate; depositing a polysilicon layer over the oxide layer; depositing a silicon nitride layer over the polysilicon layer; patterning the silicon nitride and polysilicon layers and etching away both layers where the field oxide is to be located; forming a field oxide by thermally oxidizing the substrate in the openings previously formed in the silicon nitride and polysilicon layers; etching away the thermal field oxide; thermally oxidizing the substrate in the etched-away field oxide areas; etching away the silicon nitride layer; optionally, implanting through the thermal oxide with an impurity; depositing a doped oxide; densifying the oxide in a steam ambient; etching back the deposited oxide; then either depositing an undoped CVD oxide, coating the oxide with a leveling layer to planarize the oxide surface, etching both the undoped CVD oxide and leveling layers and etching away the polysilicon; or etching away the polysilicon, leaching the dopants out of the surface of the field oxide structure and passivating the surface in a dry oxygen ambient.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a radiation hardened semiconductor device, having defined active region and isolation region. The isolation region containing an isolation material and active region containing a transition region between active and isolation region, sometimes denoted a bird's beak region. Wherein the transition region is implanted with germanium and boron, to prevent formation of leakage paths between active devices, or within an active device. The implanted area can be further limited to that area of the transition region that is adapted to be covered by a gate material, such as polysilicon.

摘要： A method for pseudomorphic growth and integration of a strain-compensated metastable and/or unstable compound base having incorporated oxygen and an electronic device incorporating the base is described. The strain-compensated base is doped by substitutional and/or interstitial placement of a strain-compensating atomic species. The electronic device may be, for example, a SiGe NPN HBT.
