A method for increasing the surface area of an original surface in a semiconductor device is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the method includes forming a layered mask upon the original surface, the layered mask including a masking layer thereatop having a varying thickness. An isotropic etch is then applied to the layered mask, which isotropic etch further removes exposed portions of the original surface as the layered mask is removed. Thereby, the isotropic etch enhances the non-uniformity of the masking layer and creates a non-uniformity in planarity of the original surface.

Methods forming a trench region of a trench capacitor structure having increase surface area are provided. One method includes the steps of forming a discontinuous polysilicon layer on exposed walls of a lower trench region, the discontinuous polysilicon layer having gaps therein which expose portions of said substrate; oxidizing the lower trench region such that the exposed portions of said substrate provided by the gaps in the discontinuous polysilicon layer are oxidized into oxide material which forms a smooth and wavy layer with the discontinuous polysilicon layer; and etching said oxide material so as to form smooth hemispherical grooves on the walls of the trench region.
摘要:
A low-temperature process for forming a highly conformal barrier film during integrated circuit manufacture by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The process includes the following steps. First, the process provides ammonia and a silicon-containing gas selected from the group consisting of silane, dichlorosilane, bistertiarybutylaminosilanc, hexachlorodisilane, and mixtures of those compositions. The ratio of the volume of ammonia to the volume of the silicon-containing gas is adjusted to yield silicon concentrations greater than 43 atomic percent in the resultant film. The process applies a deposition temperature of 550° C. to 720° C. The ammonia and the silicon-containing gas are reacted at the deposition temperature to form a silicon-rich nitride film less than 200 Å thick. Finally, the silicon nitride film is deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition.

The present invention provides a gate stack structure that has high mobilities and low interfacial charges as well as semiconductor devices, i.e., metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) that include the same. In the semiconductor devices, the gate stack structure of the present invention is located between the substrate and an overlaying gate conductor. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating the inventive gate stack structure in which a high temperature annealing process (on the order of about 800° C.) is employed. The high temperature anneal used in the present invention provides a gate stack structure that has an interface state density, as measured by charge pumping, of about 8×1010 charges/cm2 or less, a peak mobility of about 250 cm2V-s or greater and substantially no mobility degradation at about 6.0×1012 inversion charges/cm2 or greater.

Disclosed herein is a method, in an integrated, of forming a high-K node dielectric of a trench capacitor and a trench sidewall device dielectric at the same time. The method includes forming a trench in a single crystal layer of a semiconductor substrate, and forming an isolation collar along a portion of the trench sidewall, wherein the collar has a top below the top of the trench in the single crystal layer. Then, at the same time, a high-K dielectric is formed along the trench sidewall, the high-K dielectric extending in both an upper portion of the trench including above the isolation collar and in a lower portion of the trench below the isolation collar. The top of the isolation collar is then etched back to expose a portion of the single crystal substrate along the sidewall, and then, a node electrode is formed in conductive contact with the exposed sidewall and also in contact with the high-K dielectric in the lower portion, such that the high-K dielectric remains as a trench sidewall dielectric in the upper portion of the sidewall. In a DRAM memory cell structure, the trench sidewall dielectric may then be used as a gate dielectric of a vertical transistor which accesses the trench storage capacitor in the trench.
摘要:
The present invention is a method and structure for fabricating a trench capacitor within a semiconductor substrate having a buried plate electrode formed of metal silicide. A collar is formed in a trench etched into a substrate; a conformal metal film is deposited thereover, and is annealed to form a silicide that is self-aligned to the collar. Silicide will not be formed on the collar, pads and other areas where the silicon is not directly exposed and hence the metal layer can be removed from these areas by selective etching.
