    摘要: Among other things, one or more semiconductor arrangements comprising isolation trenches, and techniques for forming such isolation trenches are provided. A substrate comprises a front side surface and a backside surface. One or more devices are formed over the front side surface. A wet etch is performed to form a tapered portion of an isolation trench. A dry etch is performed to form a non-tapered portion of the isolation trench. Because both the wet etch and the dry etch are performed, etching time is reduced compared to merely using the dry etch due to the wet etch having a relatively faster etch rate than the dry etch. In an embodiment, the isolation trench provides isolation for a current leakage path associated with a device or other material formed over the front side surface. In an embodiment, metal is formed within the isolation trench for backside metallization.

    摘要: Among other things, one or more wafer edge protection structures and techniques for forming such wafer edge protection structures are provided. A substrate of a semiconductor wafer comprises an edge, such as a beveled wafer edge portion, that is susceptible to Epi growth which results in undesirable particle contamination of the semiconductor wafer. Accordingly, a wafer edge protection structure is formed over the beveled wafer edge portion. The wafer edge protection structure comprises an Epi growth resistant material, such as an amorphous material, a non-crystalline material, oxide, or other material. In this way, the wafer edge protection structure mitigates Epi growth on the beveled wafer edge portion, where the Epi growth increases a likelihood of particle contamination from cracking or peeling of an Epi film resulting from the Epi growth. The wafer edge protection structure thus mitigates at least some contamination of the wafer.
