A dielectric hard mask is deposited over the metal hard mask. Photoresist is deposited over the dielectric hard mask, whereby a plurality of sacrificial columns is formed from the layer of metal hard mask through the photoresist such that the sacrificial columns extend out from the silicon layer. An interface layer is disposed between the layer of conductive material and the layer of hard mask to enhance adhesion between each of the plurality of sacrificial columns and the layer of conductive material to optimize the formation of junction diodes out of the silicon by preventing the plurality of sacrificial columns from being detached from the layer of silicon prematurely due to the sacrificial columns peeling or falling off.

    摘要: A monolithic three dimensional memory array is formed by a method that includes forming a first memory level above a substrate by i) forming a plurality of first substantially parallel conductors extending in a first direction, ii) forming first pillars above the first conductors, each first pillar comprising a first conductive layer or layerstack above a vertically oriented diode, the first pillars formed in a single photolithography step, iii) depositing a first dielectric layer above the first pillars, and iv) etching a plurality of substantially parallel first trenches in the first dielectric layer, the first trenches extending in a second direction, wherein, after the etching step, the lowest point in the trenches is above the lowest point of the first conductive layer or layerstack, wherein the first conductive layer or layerstack does not comprise a resistivity-switching metal oxide or nitride. The method also includes monolithically forming a second memory level above the first memory level. Other aspects are also described.

    摘要: The invention discloses a method for cleaning residues from a semiconductor substrate during a nickel platinum silicidation process. Post silicidation residues of nickel and platinum may not be removed adequately just by an aqua regia solution (comprising a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid). Therefore, embodiments of the invention provide a multi-step residue cleaning, comprising exposing the substrate to an aqua regia solution, followed by an exposure to a chlorine gas or a solution comprising dissolved chlorine gas, which may further react with remaining platinum residues, rendering it more soluble in aqueous solution and thereby dissolving it from the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: A substantially planar surface coexposes conductive or semiconductor features and a dielectric etch stop material. A second dielectric material, different from the dielectric etch stop material, is deposited on the substantially planar surface. A selective etch etches a hole or trench in the second dielectric material, so that the etch stops on the conductive or semiconductor feature and the dielectric etch stop material. In a preferred embodiment the substantially planar surface is formed by filling gaps between the conductive or semiconductor features with a first dielectric such as oxide, recessing the oxide, filling with a second dielectric such as nitride, then planarizing to coexpose the nitride and the conductive or semiconductor features.
