    摘要: A protective dielectric layer is formed on a first shallow trench having straight sidewalls, while exposing a second shallow trench. An oxidation barrier layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A resist is applied and recessed within the second shallow trench. The oxidation barrier layer is removed above the recessed resist. The resist is removed and thermal oxidation is performed so that a thermal oxide collar is formed above the remaining oxidation mask layer. The oxidation barrier layer is thereafter removed and exposed semiconductor area therebelow depth is etched to form a bottle shaped shallow trench. The first and the bottle shaped trenches are filled with a dielectric material to form a straight sidewall shallow trench isolation structure and a bottle shallow trench isolation structure, respectively. Both shallow trench isolation structures may be employed to provide optimal electrical isolation and device performance to semiconductor devices having different depths.

    摘要: A trench capacitor and related methods are disclosed including a trench having lateral extensions extending in only one direction from the trench filled with a capacitor material. In one embodiment, the trench capacitor includes a trench within a substrate, and at least one lateral extension extending from the trench in only one direction, wherein the trench and each lateral extension are filled with a capacitor material. The lateral extensions increase surface area for the trench capacitor, but do not take up as much space as conventional structures.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided where in one embodiment an STI fill is recessed below the pad nitride and pad oxide layers, to a level substantially coplanar with the top surface of the substrate. A thin (having a thickness in the range of about 10 Å-100 Å) wet etch resistant layer is formed in contact with and completely covering at least the top surface of the recessed STI fill material. The thin wet etch resistant layer is more resistant to a wet etch process than at least the pad oxide layer. The thin wet etch resistant layer may be a refractory dielectric material, or a dielectric such as HfOx, AlyOx, ZrOx, HfZrOx, and HfSiOx. The inventive wet etch resistant layer improves the wet etch budget of subsequent wet etch processing steps.

    摘要: A self-aligned gate cap dielectric can be employed to form a self-aligned contact to a diffusion region, while preventing electrical short with a gate conductor due to overlay variations. In one embodiment, an electroplatable or electrolessly platable metal is selectively deposited on conductive materials in a gate electrode, while the metal is not deposited on dielectric surfaces. The metal portion on top of the gate electrode is converted into a gate cap dielectric including the metal and oxygen. In another embodiment, a self-assembling monolayer is formed on dielectric surfaces, while exposing metallic top surfaces of a gate electrode. A gate cap dielectric including a dielectric oxide is formed on areas not covered by the self-assembling monolayer. The gate cap dielectric functions as an etch-stop structure during formation of a via hole, so that electrical shorting between a contact via structure formed therein and the gate electrode is avoided.
