    摘要: A method of metallization using a tungsten plug is described. A contact hole is opened to the semiconductor substrate through an insulating layer covering semiconductor structures in and on the semiconductor substrate. A glue layer is deposited conformally over the surface of the insulating layer and within the contact opening. A tungsten plug is formed within the contact opening. The glue layer is removed except for portions of the glue layer underneath the tungsten plug and on the lower sides of the tungsten plug. Ditches are left on the upper sides of the tungsten plug where the glue layer has been removed. The ditches around the tungsten plug are filled with a dielectric material. A second metallization is deposited and patterned. The patterned second metallization does not extend over one side portion of the tungsten plug; that is, there is no dog-bone formation. There is no junction damage through the side portion of the tungsten plug not covered by the second metallization because the dielectric material filling the ditches protects the glue layer from being etched away. In a second embodiment of the invention, after the contact hole is opened, the insulating layer is reflowed forming an overhang around the contact hole. A glue layer is deposited conformally over the surface of the insulating layer and within the contact opening. A tungsten plug is formed within the contact opening.

    摘要: A new method of forming a metal diffusion barrier layer is described. Semiconductor device structures are formed in and on a semiconductor substrate. At least one dielectric layer covers the semiconductor structures and at least one contact hole has been opened through the dielectric layer(s) to the semiconductor substrate. A metal diffusion barrier layer is now formed using the following steps: In the first step, a thin layer of titanium is deposited conformally over the surface of the dielectric layer(s) and within the contact opening(s) and annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of between about 580.degree. to 630.degree. C. for between about 20 to 120 seconds. The second step is to form stable and adhesive titanium compounds on the pre-metal dielectric layer as well as to form a low resistance silicide on the contact silicon by annealing at between about 800.degree. to 900.degree. C. for between about 5 to 60 seconds. The final step is to release the system stress by tempering the layer at a temperature of between about 600.degree. to 750.degree. C. This completes the barrier layer which has good adhesion to the dielectric layer(s) and, therefore, promotes improved pad bonding yield.

    摘要: A method of forming a field oxide isolation region is described, in which a masking layer is formed over a silicon substrate. The masking layer is patterned to form an opening for the field oxide isolation region, whereby the remainder of the masking layer forms an implant mask. A conductivity-imparting dopant is implanted through the opening into the silicon substrate. Oxygen is implanted through the opening into the silicon substrate in multiple implantation steps. The implant mask is removed. The field oxide isolation region is formed in and on the silicon substrate, by annealing in a non-oxygen ambient. Alternately, the field oxide isolation region is formed by annealing in oxygen, simultaneously forming a gate oxide in the region between the field oxide isolation regions.

    摘要: A capacitor structure suitable for use in Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) Integrated Circuit (IC) devices and its method of fabrication is disclosed. The capacitor includes a main or root trench extending vertically into the silicon substrate and at least one buried trench extending horizontally into the side wall of the main trench. The enlarged trench sidewall surface area as a result of the added buried trenches increases the total capacitance of the capacitor and it suitable for use with high density, high data volume memory devices. The buried trenches are formed by implanting oxygen or nitrogen ions into the designated depths of the silicon substrate, subsequently annealing the entire substrate at the absence of gaseous oxygen, and etching away the converted silicon dioxide or silicon nitride. The formed trench system can reduce the accumulation of the structural stress to avoid the formation of crystalline defects and obtain the resulting device with better quality.

    摘要: An improved dual damascene structure is provided for use in the wiring-line structures of multi-level interconnects in integrated circuit. In this dual damascene structure, low-K (low dielectric constant) dielectric materials are used to form both the di-electric layers and the etch-stop layers between the metal interconnects in the IC device. With this feature, the dual damascene structure can prevent high parasite capacitance to occur therein that would otherwise cause large RC delay to the signals being transmitted through the metal interconnects and thus degrade the performance of the IC device. With the dual damascene structure, such parasite capacitance can be reduced, thus assuring the performance of the IC device.
