    摘要: A bottle-shaped trench capacitor with a buried plate is formed in a controlled etch process. The bottle-shape is fabricated by etching deep trenches from a layered substrate, using the layers as a mask, and covering the side walls of the substrate with protective oxide and nitride layers. With the side walls covered, deep trench etching is then resumed, and a lower trench portion, below the protective layers of the side wall are formed. By diffusing a first dopant in the lower portion of the deep trench region, using the side wall protective layers as a mask, an etch stop is established for a wet etch process at the p/n junction established by the first dopant. The width of the lower trench portion is regulated by the time and temperature of the diffusion. Removing the doped material and applying a second dopant to the lower trench portion establishes a continuous buried plate region between trenches. A capacitor is formed by applying an insulating layer to the trench and filling with a conductor.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device. In an exemplary embodiment, the process includes the following steps. The process initially defines a first registration mark associated with a first mask level of the semiconductor device and a second registration mark associated with a second mask level of the semiconductor device. The process then defines a third registration mark associated with a third mask level of the semiconductor device based on the first and second registration marks. Finally, the process aligns the third mask level along a first axis with respect to the first registration mark, and aligns the third mask level along a second axis with respect to the second registration mark. According to various aspects of the invention, the semiconductor fabrication process is used to fabricate DRAM trench cells, or any other type of semiconductor device whose fabrication requires tight overlay alignment between the various levels of the device.

    摘要: A method for introducing dopants into a semiconductor device using doped germanium oxide is disclosed. The method includes using rapid thermal anneal (RTA) or furnace anneal to diffuse dopants into a substrate from a doped germanium oxide sacrificial layer on the semiconductor substrate. After annealing to diffuse the dopants into the substrate, the germanium oxide sacrificial layers is removed using water thereby avoiding removal of silicon dioxide (SiO2) in the gates or in standard device isolation structures, that may lead to device failure. N+ and p+ sources and drains can be formed in appropriate wells in a semiconductor substrate, using a singular anneal and without the need to define more than one region of the first doped sacrificial layer. Alternatively, annealing before introducing a second dopant into the germanium oxide sacrificial layer give slower diffusing ions such as arsenic a head start.

    摘要: The present invention features double- or dual-gate logic devices that contain gate conductors that are consistently self-aligned and that have channels that are of constant width. The inventive process also provides a method of selectively etching germanium-containing gate conductor materials without significantly etching the adjacent silicon channel material. In this manner, the gate conductor can be encased in a dielectric shell without changing the length of the silicon channel. A single-crystal silicon wafer is utilized as the channel material. Pillars or stacks of self aligned dual gate MOSFETs are generated by etching, via the juxtaposition of overlapping germanium-containing gate conductor regions. Vertically etching through regions of both gate conducting material and dielectric insulating material provides an essentially perfect, self-aligned dual gate stack. A process is described wherein the gate conductor material can be selectively etched without etching the channel material.
