    摘要: A method for forming shallow trench isolation structures produces a shallow trench isolation structure having a substantially planar upper surface. The shallow trench isolation structure is formed from an originally formed shallow trench isolation structure which includes a deposited dielectric material within a trench and which exhibits dishing related problems in the form of a void formed within the trench, wherein the surface of the deposited dielectric material is recessed below the planar upper surface. The method provides for filling the void with a silicon film. The silicon film is then polished in its as-deposited or oxidized form, to produce a shallow trench isolation structure having a planar upper surface.

    摘要: A method for forming a shallow trench isolation structure within a semiconductor substrate includes forming a trench opening within a semiconductor substrate having an oxidation-resistant material as a top surface. An oxide liner is formed on inner surfaces of the trench opening. A silicon material is then introduced into the trench opening and over the top surface. The silicon material is subsequently oxidized, either before or after a polishing operation is used to planarize the structure. Dishing related problems are avoided during polishing because the silicon or oxidized silicon material has a polishing rate similar to the oxidation resistant material, and less than that of conventionally formed CVD oxides.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a doped polysilicon/silicide ("polycide") gate electrode. The doped polysilicon layer comprises sub-layers. The sub-layers are formed by varying the silicon deposition conditions, typically including the deposition rate, while decreasing the dopant concentration. The metal silicide layer is then formed on top of the doped polysilicon layer. An improvement in uniformity and planarity of the structure is obtained as a result of stress accommodation. In addition, the sub-layers reduce the channeling effect that occurs during high energy source/drain dopant implantation. These effects allow for a reduced stack height of the gate electrode, resulting in improvements in very small (sub-micron) device structures.

    摘要: An insulating structure includes a first silicon nitride layer, a tantalum pentoxide layer formed above the first silicon nitride (SiNx) layer, and a second silicon nitride layer formed above the tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) layer. The SiNx cladding layers prevent diffusion of the tantalum during heating. A high dielectric constant is provided. The thermal stability of the insulating structure is improved. The insulating structure may be included in a capacitor or a shallow trench isolation structure. An exemplary capacitor is formed with a substrate, a lower electrode, the three-layer SixNy/Ta2O5/SixNy structure and an upper electrode. The lower electrode may include a TiN layer formed over an aluminum layer, or a TiN layer formed over a polysilicon layer, or a polysilicon layer having an oxide barrier layer formed on it. The upper electrode may be a TiN layer or a polysilicon layer. An exemplary shallow trench isolation structure includes the SixNy/Ta2O5/SixNy structure as a liner on the sides and bottom of a shallow trench in the surface of a substrate. The shallow trench is filled with an oxide, such as TEOS. A variety of methods may be used for fabricating devices that include the SixNy/Ta2O5/SixNy structure.
