Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for filling up a separation trench in a silicon integrated circuit having at least one p-n junction or a phase boundary of different materials before forming a separation structure. SOLUTION: This method relates to filling of the separation trench and a capacitor trench including a perpendicular field-effect transistor (FET) having aspect ratios up to a maximum of 60 (or p-n junction at an arbitrary front level or the phase boundary of the different materials) obtained through a process. The process comprises a step of coating a spin-on material based on silazane with low molecular weight, a step of performing prebake of the coated material at temperature less than about 450°C within oxygen atmosphere, a step of converting the stress of the material by heating within H 2 O atmosphere at intermediate temperature in the range from 450°C-800°C, a step of obtaining a material stable up to a maximum of 1000°C, which has compressive stress which can be adjusted by changing process parameters resulting from heating again within O 2 atmosphere at high temperature, and which has durability sufficiently resisting to CMP having an etching rate comparable to that of oxide dielectrics formed using the high-density plasma (HDP) technique.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a trench capacitor structure suited for use in a semiconductor integrated circuit device and also provide a process sequence used for forming the structure. SOLUTION: A trench structure wherein a trench is demarcated in a semiconductor substrate 100 includes a trench wall, a silicon buried plate 14 doped with conductive species existing in part of the semiconductor substrate around the trench wall, and a silicon structure with texture formed along part of the trench wall.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure for a perpendicular-type DRAM capable of being integrated into a process flow, using a flat surface device. SOLUTION: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit device comprises steps of etching a trench in a substrate; and forming DRAM cells which include a build-up capacitor 24 at a lower edge and a perpendicular-type MOSFET having a gate conductor 30 covering the build-up capacitor 24 and a boron doped channel. The method further comprises a step of forming a trench adjacent to the DRAM cells and a silicon acid nitriding isolation liner at either side of the DRAM cells. Next, an isolation region is formed in the trench at either side of the DRAM cells. Thereafter, the DRAM cells, including a boron-containing channel region are exposed to a high temperature caused by heat treatment to form a supporting device and so on. A nitride containing isolation liner reduces the isolation of boron in a channel region as compared with an oxide-containing isolation liner essentially without nitrogen. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a semiconductor memory structure, especially a deep trench semiconductor memory device for which a temperature sensitive high dielectric constant material is taken inside the storage node of a capacitor. SOLUTION: In this manufacturing method, after shallow trench separation at high temperature and processing a gate conductor, a deep trench storage capacitor is manufactured. With the manufacturing method, a temperature sensitive high dielectric constant material can be taken into a capacitor structure without causing decomposition of the material. Furthermore, the manufacturing method limits the spread of a buried strap outward diffused part 44, and thus the electric characteristics of an array MOSFET are improved.
Abstract:
A compound metal comprising HfSiN which is a n-type metal having a workfunction of about 4.0 to about 4.5, preferably about 4.3, eV which is thermally stable on a gate stack comprising a high k dielectric and an interfacial layer. Furthermore, after annealing the stack of HfSiN/high k dielectric/interfacial layer at a high temperature (on the order of about 1000°C), there is a reduction of the interfacial layer, thus the gate stack produces a very small equivalent oxide thickness (12 Å classical), which cannot be achieved using TaSiN.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method to form a three-dimensional electrical structure which brings two circuit elements separated in the horizontal and vertical directions into contact, regarding the formation of structures including a DRAM cell comprising a vertical transistor.

Next, dopant is diffused into the substrate walls to form a self-aligned extension of a buried strap, and a final gate insulator is deposited, then the upper portion of a DRAM cell is formed.
