摘要:
In a process of forming hemi-spherical silicon grains on an amorphous silicon film in accordance with the "crystal nucleation" process, in order to form crystal nuclei on a top surface and a side surface of the amorphous silicon film, SiH.sub.4 is irradiated onto the top and side surfaces of the amorphous silicon film at a stabilized temperature which is lower than, by at least 5.degree. C., an annealing temperature for growing the hemi-spherical silicon grains from the crystal nuclei, with the result that it is possible to suppress or retard the growth of the crystals growing into the amorphous silicon film from a boundary between the amorphous silicon film and an interlayer insulator film. Thereafter, the amorphous silicon film having the crystal nuclei thus formed on the surface thereof is annealed at the annealing temperature so that the hemi-spherical silicon grains are formed on the whole surface of the top and side surfaces of the amorphous silicon film.
摘要:
In a capacitor incorporated in a semiconductor device, a capacitor lower plate is formed of a first amorphous silicon film on an interlayer insulator film and a second amorphous silicon film stacked on the first amorphous silicon film. A crystallization preventing film is formed between the first and second amorphous silicon films, or alternatively, the first amorphous silicon film is formed to have an impurity concentration lower than that of the second amorphous silicon film. A stacked structure formed of the first and second amorphous silicon films is patterned into a capacitor lower plate having a top surface and a side surface, and hemispherical grains are formed on not only the top surface but also the side surface of the patterned stacked structure. In this process, crystalline growth from the interlayer insulator film is prevented by the crystallization preventing film or by the fact that the first amorphous silicon film is formed to have an impurity concentration lower than that of the second amorphous silicon film. Thus, concaves and convexes in the form of hemispherical grains are uniformly formed on not only the top surface but also the side surface of the patterned stacked structure, so that a remarkably increased capacitance can be obtained.

At first, a silicon oxide layer is selectively formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate. Next, a first amorphous silicon film doped with phosphorous in the concentration of about 1.times.10.sup.20 (atoms/cm.sup.3) and a non-doped second amorphous silicon film are deposited in sequential order. By this, an amorphous silicon layer for lower electrode constituted of the first and second amorphous silicon films is formed. Then, an HSG (unevenness) is formed on the surface of the amorphous silicon layer for lower electrode. Subsequently, the amorphous silicon layer for lower electrode is patterned to form a lower electrode of the stack type capacitive element. Thereafter, a capacitance insulation layer is formed on the upper surface and the side surface of the lower electrode. Then, over the entire surface, an upper electrode is deposited.

摘要:
A silicon layer containing microcrystal is formed on a semiconductor substrate 10 having an amorphous silicon layer 61a formed on the surface thereof (t1 and t2). Continuously, HSGs (hemispherical grains) are formed, in the same furnace, on the silicon layer 61a using microcrystal on the silicon layer 61a as a nucleus (t2 and t3). Further, a source gas containing impurities is introduced into the furnace to diffuse impurities into the HSGs (t3 and t4), wherein a lower electrode is formed. Also, during the processes from t1 through t4, the partial pressure of water and oxygen in the furnace is set to 1×10−6 Torr or less. Furthermore, during the processes from t1 through t4, the temperature in the furnace is set to 550 through 600° C.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor storage device includes providing an opening portion in a plurality of positions in an insulating film formed on a silicon substrate, and thereafter forming an amorphous silicon film on the insulating film, in which the opening portions are formed, and in the opening portions. Then, trenches are formed to divide the amorphous silicon film, in the vicinity of a midpoint between adjacent opening portions, into a portion on one opening portion side and a portion on the other opening portion side. Next, the amorphous silicon film, in which the trenches are formed, is annealed and subjected to solid-phase crystallization to form a single crystal with the opening portions used as seeds, and thereby a silicon single-crystal layer is formed. Then, a memory cell array is formed on the silicon single-crystal layer.
