摘要:
A method is provided for forming isolated regions of oxide of an integrated circuit, and an integrated circuit formed according to the same. A pad oxide layer is formed over a portion of a substrate. A first silicon nitride layer is formed over the pad oxide layer. A polysilicon buffer layer is then formed over the first silicon nitride layer. A second silicon nitride layer is formed over the polysilicon layer. A photoresist layer is formed and patterned over the second silicon nitride layer. An opening is etched through the second silicon nitride layer and the polysilicon buffer layer to expose a portion of the first silicon nitride layer. A third silicon nitride region is then formed on at least the polysilicon buffer layer exposed in the opening. The first silicon nitride layer is etched in the opening. A field oxide region is then formed in the opening.

A method is provided for forming an improved poly-buffered LOCOS process by forming a pad oxide layer over a substrate. A first nitride layer is formed over the pad oxide layer and a polysilicon layer is formed over the first nitride layer. A second nitride layer is formed over the polysilicon layer. An opening is etched through the second nitride layer, the polysilicon layer, the first nitride layer and the pad oxide layer to expose a portion of the underlying substrate. A field oxide region is then formed in the opening.

A method for fabricating interlevel contacts in semiconductor integrated circuits provides for formation of a contact opening through an insulating layer. A layer of refractory metal, or refractory metal alloy, is deposited over the surface of the integrated circuit chip. An aluminum layer is then deposited at a significantly elevated temperature, so that an aluminum/refractory metal alloy is formed at the interface between the aluminum layer and the refractory metal layer. Formation of such an alloy causes an expansion of the metal within the contact opening, thereby filling the contact opening and providing a smooth upper contour to the deposited aluminum layer.

A method is provided for forming an integrated circuit contact structure. A conductive region is formed on a semiconductor device. Thereafter an insulating layer is formed over the conductive region. An opening is then formed through the insulating region to the conductive region. A thin barrier layer is deposited over the integrated circuit contact structure. A portion of the thin barrier layer is removed by backsputtering the integrated circuit contact structure so that only a thin barrier sidewall remains. Finally, a conductive metal layer is deposited over the integrated circuit contact structure. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit contact structure is baked before the conductive metal layer is deposited.
摘要:
A method is provided for depositing aluminum thin film layers to form contacts in a semiconductor integrated circuit device. All or some of the deposition process occurs at relatively low deposition rates at a temperature which allows improved surface migration of the deposited aluminum atoms. Aluminum deposited under these conditions tends to fill contact vias without the formation of voids. The low temperature deposition step can be initiated by depositing aluminum while a wafer containing the integrated circuit device is being heated from cooler temperatures within the deposition chamber.

All or some of the deposition process occurs at relatively low deposition rates at a temperature which allows surface migration of the deposited aluminum atoms. Aluminum deposited under these conditions tends to fill contact vias without the formation of voids. The deposition step is periodically interrupted.
