    摘要: An integrated circuit that is capable of being burn-in tested with an AC stress and a testing method using the same are provided. The integrated circuit includes an address transforming means and a data generating means. The address transforming means transforms the addresses of the memory device selected and generates an address signal responsive to a clock signal. The data generating means generates a data signal that alternates between a first state and a second state responsive to the clock signal and provides the data signal to the selected memory device. The integrated circuit includes a switch for coupling the test supply line to the normal supply line during testing and intercepting the test supply line from the normal supply line during normal operations responsive to a control signal. The integrated circuit of the present invention allows a wafer burn-in test by sequentially and repeatedly applying the AC stress to all the memory devices.

    摘要: Isolated semiconductor devices are formed by forming field oxide regions in a face of a semiconductor substrate to define active regions therebetween. The field oxide regions extend to above the substrate face and include an oblique surface which extends from above the substrate face to the substrate face. A step reducing region is formed on a respective one of the oblique surfaces of the field oxide regions, extending onto the active regions at the substrate face. The step reducing region can reduce the steepness of the step between the substrate face and the field oxide regions, thereby facilitating further processing and reliability of the semiconductor devices.

    摘要: A method for forming a capacitor for an integrated circuit device includes the following steps. An interlayer dielectric layer is formed on a substrate, and a contact hole is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer. A first conductive layer is then formed on the interlayer dielectric layer, wherein the first conductive layer is electrically connected to the substrate through the contact hole. A hole having a depth less than the thickness of the first conductive layer is etched in the first conductive layer. An insulating layer is formed in the hole and the first conductive layer is then etched to a predetermined depth using the insulating layer as an etching mask to expose a side wall of an upper portion of the insulating layer. A spacer is formed on the side wall of the upper portion of the insulating layer. The first conductive layer is then etched using the insulating layer and the spacer as etching marks to form an electrode structure. The insulating layer and spacer are then removed. Lastly, the capacitor is completed by forming a dielectric layer on the electrode structure and then forming a second conductive layer on the dielectric layer.
