    摘要: Improved trench forming methods for semiconductor substrates using BSG avoid the problems associated with conventional TEOS hard mask techniques. The methods comprise: (a) providing a semiconductor substrate, (b) applying a conformal layer of borosilicate glass (BSG) on the substrate; (c) forming a patterned photoresist layer over the BSG layer whereby a portion of a layer underlying the photoresist layer is exposed, (d) anisotropically etching through the exposed portion of the underlying layer, through any other layers lying between the photoresist layer and the semiconductor substrate, and into the semiconductor substrate, thereby forming a trench in the semiconductor substrate. Preferably, one or more dielectric layers are present on the substrate surface prior to application of the BSG layer. One or more chemical barrier and/or organic antireflective coating layers may be applied over the BSG layer between the BSG layer and the photoresist layer. The methods are especially useful for forming deep trenches in silicon substrates with pad dielectric layers.

    摘要: A reduction in parasitic leakages of shallow trench isolation vias is disclosed wherein the distance between the silicon nitride liner and the active silicon sidewalls is increased by depositing an insulating oxide layer prior to deposition of the silicon nitride liner. Preferably, the insulating oxide layer comprises tetraethylorthosilicate. The method comprises of etching one or more shallow trench isolations into a semiconductor wafer; depositing an insulating oxide layer into the trench; growing a thermal oxide in the trench; and depositing a silicon nitride liner in the trench. The thermal oxide may be grown prior to or after deposition of the insulating oxide layer.

    摘要: A method for forming a electrically isolated semiconductor devices in a silicon body. A trench is formed in a selected region of the body. A barrier material is deposited over sidewalls of the trench. Portions of the barrier material are removed from a first sidewall portion of the trench to expose such first sidewall portion of the trench while leaving portions of such barrier material on a second sidewall portion of the trench to form a barrier layer thereon. A dielectric material is deposited in the trench, a portion of dielectric material being deposited on the exposed first sidewall portion of the trench and another portion of such deposited dielectric material being deposited on the barrier material. The dielectric material is annealed in an oxidizing environment to densify such deposited dielectric material, the barrier layer inhibiting oxidation of the said second sidewall portion of the trench. A plurality of the semiconductor devices is formed in the silicon body with such devices being electrically isolated by the dielectric material in the trench.
