    摘要: Methods are disclosed for forming shaped structures from silicon and/or germanium containing material with a material removal process that is selective to low stress portions of the material. In general, the method initially provides a layer of the material on a semiconductor substrate. The material, which has uniform stress therein, is then masked, and the stress in a portion of the material is reduced, such as by implanting ions into an unmasked portion. The mask is removed, and the high stress masked portion of the material is selectively removed, preferably by an etching process. The low stress portion of the material remains and forms a shaped structure. One preferred selective etching process uses a basic etchant. The various methods are used to form raised shaped structures, shaped openings, polysilicon plugs, capacitor storage nodes, surround-gate transistors, free-standing walls, interconnect lines, trench capacitors, and trench isolation regions.

    摘要: Methods are disclosed for forming shaped structures of silicon-containing material with ion implantation and an etching process which is selective to silicon-containing material implanted to a certain concentration of ions or with an etching process which is selective to relatively unimplanted silicon-containing material. In general, the methods initially involve providing a layer of silicon-containing material such as polysilicon or epitaxial silicon on a semiconductor substrate. The layer of silicon-containing material is then masked, and ions are implanted into exposed portions of the layer of silicon-containing material. The mask is removed, and the aforementioned selective etching process is conducted to result in one of an implanted and a relatively unimplanted portion of the layer of silicon-containing material being etched away and the other left standing to form a shaped structure of silicon-containing material. One preferred selective etching process uses an etchant solution comprising a selected weight percentage of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide in deionized water. The etchant solution etches relatively unimplanted silicon-containing material implanted up to 60 times faster than it etches silicon-containing material implanted to beyond a threshold concentration of ions. The various methods are used to form raised shaped structures, shaped openings, polysilicon plugs, capacitor storage nodes, surround-gate transistors, free-standing walls, interconnect lines, trench capacitors, and trench isolation regions.

    摘要: A process of manufacturing a gate stack whereby the integrity of both the gate sidewalls and the substrate surface is maintained. Nitride spacers are constructed on the sidewalls of a gate which has been etched only to the top of the polysilicon layer. This allows more of the polysilicon sidewall to be exposed during subsequent reoxidation while at the same time minimizing effects such as bird's beak resulting during reoxidation. After the nitride spacers are constructed the subsequent etch is performed in two steps in order to minimize degradation of the substrate surface in underlying active regions.
