摘要:
A structure and a process for a self-aligned vertical PNP transistor for high performance SiGe CBiCMOS process. Embodiments include SiGe CBiCMOS with high-performance SiGe NPN transistors and PNP transistors. As the PNP transistors and NPN transistors contained different types of impurity profile, they need separate lithography and doping step for each transistor. The process is easy to integrate with existing CMOS process to save manufacturing time and cost. As plug-in module, fully integration with SiGe BiCMOS processes. High doping Polysilicon Emitter can increase hole injection efficiency from emitter to base, reduce emitter resistor, and form very shallow EB junction. Self-aligned N+ base implant can reduce base resistor and parasitical EB capacitor. Very low collector resistor benefits from BP layer. PNP transistor can be Isolated from other CMOS and NPN devices by BNwell, Nwell and BN+ junction.
摘要:
A method of forming a capacitor comprising the following steps. A substrate having a lower low-k dielectric layer formed thereover is provided with the lower low-k dielectric layer having a dielectric constant of less than about 3.0. Metal vertical electrode plates are formed within the lower low-k dielectric layer so that the adjacent metal vertical electrode plates have lower low-k dielectric layer portions therebetween. The lower low-k dielectric layer portions between the adjacent metal vertical electrode plates are replaced with high-k dielectric material trench portions having a dielectric constant of greater than about 3.0.
摘要:
A method is described to fabricate RF inductor devices on a silicon substrate. Low-k or other dielectric material is deposited and patterned to form inductor lower plate trenches. Trenches are lined with barrier film such as TaN, filled with copper, and excess metal planarized using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). Second layer of a dielectric material is deposited and patterned to form via-hole/trenches. Via-hole/trench patterns are filled with barrier material, and the dielectric film in between the via-hole/trenches is etched to form a second set of trenches. These trenches are filled with copper and planarized. A third layer of a dielectric film is deposited and patterned to form via-hole/trenches. Via-hole/trenches are then filled with barrier material, and the dielectric film between via-hole/trench patterns etched to form a third set of trenches. These trenches are filled with copper metal and excess metal removed by CMP to form said RF inductor.

A new method of provided for forming in one plane layers of semiconductor material having both high and low dielectric constants. Layers, having selected and preferably non-identical parameters of dielectric constants, are successively deposited interspersed with layers of etch stop material. The layers can be etched, creating openings there-through that can be filled with a layer of choice.

A first method of reducing semiconductor device substrate effects comprising the following steps. O+or O2+are selectively implanted into a silicon substrate to form a silicon-damaged silicon oxide region. One or more devices are formed over the silicon substrate proximate the silicon-damaged silicon oxide region within at least one upper dielectric layer. A passivation layer is formed over the at least one upper dielectric layer. The passivation layer and the at least one upper dielectric layer are patterned to form a trench exposing a portion of the silicon substrate over the silicon-damaged silicon oxide region. The silicon-damaged silicon oxide region is selectively etched to form a channel continuous and contiguous with the trench whereby the channel reduces the substrate effects of the one or more semiconductor devices. A second method of reducing substrate effects under analog devices includes forming an analog device on a SOI substrate and then selectively etching the silicon oxide layer of the SOI substrate to form a channel at least partially underlying the analog device.

摘要:
In accordance with the objectives of the invention a new method is provided for the creation of layers of gate oxide having an unequal thickness. Active surface regions are defined over the surface of a substrate, a thick layer of gate oxide is grown over the active surface. A selective etch is applied to the thick layer of gate oxide, selectively reducing the thickness of the thick layer of gate oxide to the required thickness of a thin layer of gate oxide. The layer of thick gate oxide is blocked from exposure. N2 atoms are implanted into the exposed surface of the thin layer of oxide, rapid thermal processing is performed and the blocking mask is removed from the surface of the thick layer of gate oxide. A high concentration of nitride has now been provided in the thin layer of gate oxide.
