    摘要: A process for forming a composite insulator spacer on the sides of a buried stack capacitor structure, wherein the buried stack capacitor structure is located overlying a portion of an insulator filled, shallow trench isolation (STI) region, has been developed. A thin silicon nitride spacer is first formed on the sides of the completed buried stack capacitor structure, followed by deposition of a silicon oxide layer. An anisotropic dry etch procedure is next employed removing a top portion of the silicon oxide layer, and resulting in a partially defined silicon oxide spacer. A critical wet etch procedure is next used to remove the bottom portion of the silicon oxide layer, defining the final silicon oxide spacer of the composite insulator spacer, now comprised of a silicon oxide spacer on an underlying silicon nitride spacer. The wet etch procedure allows a gradual slope to be created at the composite insulator spacer—STI region interface, reducing the risk of leaving, or forming polysilicon residuals or stringers on the underlying surface, which can occur during definition of a MOSFET gate structure. The elimination of the polysilicon stringers reduces the risk of leakage between SRAM cell elements, such as buried stack capacitor structures, and MOSFET devices.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a buried stack capacitor structure, to be used in a one transistor, RAM cell, has been developed. The process features formation of a self-aligned, ring shaped storage node opening, formed in a top portion of an silicon oxide filled, shallow trench shape, via a selective dry etch procedure. The selective dry etch procedure in combination with subsequent selective wet etch procedures, create bare portions of semiconductor substrate at the junction of the ring shaped storage node opening and the adjacent top surface of semiconductor, allowing a heavily doped region to be created in this region. The presence of the heavily doped region reduces the node to substrate resistance encountered when a storage node structure is formed in the ring shaped storage node structure, as well as on the overlying the heavily doped region.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a dog-bone in a DRAM device, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor structure having an upper silicon layer with STIs formed therein is provided. The semiconductor structure has a LOGIC region and a DRAM region with a stitch region therebetween. A polysilicon layer is formed over the semiconductor structure. A dopant is selectively implanted in the polysilicon region within the DRAM region, and the portion of the stitch region within the DRAM region, to form a doped poly segment, and an undoped poly segment within the LOGIC region, and the portion of the stitch region within the LOGIC region. A hard mask is formed over the doped poly segment and the undoped poly segment and patterned to form at least one patterned first hard mask portion only over the word line doped poly segment within the DRAM region. At least one second mask layer portion is formed over the undoped poly segment within the LOGIC region and at least one third mask layer portion is formed over the doped poly segment in the portion of the stitch region within the DRAM region. The doped poly segment and undoped poly segment are etched to form: undoped poly periphery logic gate portions within the LOGIC region; doped poly dog-bone within the portion of the stitch region within the DRAM region; and doped poly word lines within the DRAM region. The second and third mask layer portions are stripped to expose the undoped poly periphery logic gate portions and the doped poly dog-bone.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for manufacturing metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors. The MIM capacitors may comprise an electrode, which may be a top or bottom electrode, which has a bottle neck. The MIM capacitors may comprise an electrode, which may be a top or bottom electrode, in contact with a sidewall of a via. The sidewall contact or the bottle neck of the electrode may burn out to form a high impedance path when the leakage current exceeds a specification, while the sidewall contact or the bottle neck of the electrode has no impact for normal MIM operations. The MIM capacitors may be used as decoupling capacitors.
