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.

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.

A capacitor incorporated in a semiconductor integrated circuit device is expected to have a large amount of capacitance without increase of the occupation area, and has a lower electrode increased in surface area by using a roughening technique selected from the group consisting of an anodizing technique, an anodic oxidation, a wet etching and a dry etching so that a surface of the lower electrode becomes porous, thereby increasing the capacitance.

In a method for forming an annular-shaped and vertically extending bottom electrode of a memory cell capacitor, a conductive film is formed on an inter-layer insulator. A photo-resist material is applied on the conductive film to form a photo-resist film thereon. The photo-resist film is patterned by a photo-lithography using a mask which includes a transparent plate-like body and a phase shifting film selectively provided on a predetermined region of the transparent plate-like body to form an annular-shaped and vertically extending photo-resist pattern over the conductive film. The conductive film is subjected to an anisotropic etching, in which the annular-shaped and vertically extending photo-resist pattern is used as a mask, to form an annular-shaped and vertically extending bottom electrode under the annular-shaped and vertically extending photo-resist pattern. The annular-shaped and vertically extending photo-resist pattern is removed.

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a capacitor portion consisting of a lower electrode, a dielectric film, and an upper electrode on a semiconductor substrate, a silicon film is formed on a surface of the lower electrode and a surface of an insulating film adjacent to the lower electrode. Annealing is preformed in an atmosphere containing nitrogen or ammonia to nitride the silicon film. A silicon nitride film is formed by LP-CVD.

A contact is formed in an insulating film covering on a silicon substrate and thereafter an amorphous silicon film is deposited thereon at 400.degree. to 500.degree. C. by using disilane. A tungsten film is then formed and etched back to form a tungsten plug through etch-back.
摘要:
On a semiconductor substrate (1), a polysilicon layer (3) of a random crystal structure is formed. The polysilicon layer (3) is treated by an etchant to provide a roughened surface (3a) of the polysilicon layer (3). The roughened surface (3a) is formed along grains of a random crystal structure and extends over all of top and side surfaces of the polysilicon layer (3). Thus, the polysilicon layer (3) serves as a lower electrode (4) having an increased surface area. A capacitor insulator layer (5) is deposited on the lower electrode (4). An upper electrode (6) is deposited on the capacitor insulator layer (5).

A contact hole reaching a diffusion layer 2 provided on the surface of a silicon substrate 1 is formed by etching an insulating film 3. At this time, a surface layer 2a formed on the surface of the diffusion layer 2 is removed within a film forming unit by utilizing chlorine trifluoride gas. Next, a polycrystalline silicon film 4 is formed within tile same film forming equipment. Thus, the surface of an electrically conductive layer (including a semiconductor layer) covered with the insulating film is selectively exposed by the etching process and, prior to the formation of the film (including oxidized layer), connected to the exposed surface of the electrically conductive layer, the surface layer formed on the surface of the electrically conductive layer, which includes a naturally oxidized film, damage, contaminated substances or the like, can be completely removed.

In order to fabricate a semiconductor device having a stacked capacitor cell, a silicon substrate is first prepared. A lower capacitor electrode having a porous surface is then formed on the silicon substrate. Following this, the lower capacitor electrode is selectively covered with a titanium nitride film. Further, a dielectric film of a material, exhibiting high permittivity or feroelectricity, is deposited on said titanium nitride film, and an upper capacitor electrode is deposited on the dielectric film.
