PURPOSE: A method for forming a gate oxide layer of a semiconductor device is provided to reduce the proportion of defective devices caused by the formed gate oxide layer by effectively removing the surface contamination of a semiconductor substrate and simultaneously carrying out a nitridation treatment on the gate oxide layer. CONSTITUTION: A cleaning process is carried out for removing a native oxide layer of a semiconductor substrate and an oxide layer generated when removing the native oxide layer(S2). An hydrogen annealing process is carried out on the resultant structure for forming a hydrogen protecting layer, wherein the hydrogen protecting layer is capable of improving the surface roughness of the semiconductor substrate(S4). A gate oxide layer is formed on the resultant structure(S6). A nitridation treatment is carried out on the gate oxide layer for preventing ions from penetrating into the semiconductor substrate(S8).

PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a non-volatile memory device is provided to be capable of preventing the contact between a nitride layer and a gate polysilicon layer. CONSTITUTION: After sequentially forming the first oxide layer(12), a silicon nitride layer(14), and the second oxide layer(16) on a semiconductor substrate(10), a gate electrode formation region is defined by carrying out a photo and etching process for selectively exposing the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. A silicon layer is partially grown at the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate for preventing the contact with the silicon nitride layer. An oxide layer(32) is formed at the resultant structure by carrying out a gate oxidation process. Then, a gate polysilicon layer(34) is formed at the upper portion of the oxide layer.
Abstract:
In a trench isolation method, an etching mask pattern for forming a trench is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The substrate is etched to form a trench. An insulating layer is formed to fill the trench, and then a material layer is formed on the insulating layer. In this case, the material layer is made of material formed at a high temperature to density the insulating layer. The material layer and the insulating layer are planarly etched and the etching mask pattern is removed, so that a trench isolation layer is completed. Accordingly, although a densification process is avoided, it is possible to form a device isolation layer having a favorable surface profile.

트렌치 소자분리 방법이 제공된다. 이 방법은 반도체기판 상에 반도체기판의 소정영역을 노출시키는 패드질화막 패턴을 형성하고, 노출된 반도체기판을 식각하여 활성영역을 한정하는 트렌치 영역을 형성한다. 트렌치 영역이 형성된 결과물을 열산화시키어 트렌치 영역의 측벽 및 바닥에 열산화막을 형성한다. 여기서, 패드질화막 패턴은 반도체기판과 직접 접촉하거나 이들 사이에 50Å 이하의 얇은 패드산화막 패턴을 형성시키어 트렌치 영역의 상부 모서리 부분에 패드질화막 패턴에 기인하는 인장 스트레스를 가한다. 이에 따라, 트렌치 영역의 상부 모서리 부분에 형성되는 열산화막은 다른 부분의 열산화막에 비하여 두껍게 형성된다. 열산화막에 의해 둘러싸여진 트렌치 영역 내에 소자분리막을 형성하고, 패드질화막 패턴을 제거하여 활성영역을 노출시킨다. 노출된 활성영역 상에 게이트 산화막을 형성한다.

PURPOSE: A fabrication method of semiconductor devices is provided to improve a reliability of the device by removing F(Fluorine) elements from a tungsten silicide layer after removing contaminated materials on the surface of the tungsten silicide layer and performing a thermal treatment. CONSTITUTION: An oxide(11) is formed on a substrate(10) by a thermal oxidation. A polysilicon layer(12) is formed on the entire surface of the resultant structure. A tungsten silicide layer(13) is formed on the polysilicon layer(12) by CVD(Chemical Vapour Deposition) using WF6 and SiH4 as a reaction gas. At this time, contaminated materials are removed from the tungsten silicide layer(13). Fluorine elements are then removed from the tungsten silicide layer(13) to the free surface of the tungsten silicide layer(13) by an outdiffusion through a thermal treatment.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for forming a T-shaped trench isolation layer is provided to prevent degradation of device reliability due to an opened void. CONSTITUTION: In the method, the first trench is formed in a substrate(110) by using a mask pattern(120). The mask pattern(120) is composed of a gate oxide layer(122), a polysilicon layer(124), a silicon nitride layer(126) and a silicon oxide layer(128). Then, an insulating spacer is formed on sidewalls of the first trench and the mask pattern(120). Thereafter, the substrate(110) is etched again by using both the insulating spacer and the mask pattern(120) as an etching mask, so that the second trench is formed narrower and deeper than the first trench. The second trench is then filled with an insulating material to obtain the T-shaped trench isolation layer(I).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A trench isolation method is provided to simplify a manufacturing process and reduce an aspect ratio in filling a trench as compared with a shallow trench isolation(STI) method by using a photoresist pattern as a mask for forming the trench, and to uniformly maintain chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) quantity for forming an isolation layer of a uniform thickness by using CeO2 based polishing agent having a large CMP selectivity of a silicon substrate and an oxidation layer. CONSTITUTION: A photoresist pattern is formed on a side of a bare silicon substrate(100). A predetermined depth of the substrate is etched to form a trench by using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask. The photoresist pattern is eliminated. An insulating layer is formed in the trench. A chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process is performed regarding the resultant structure having the insulating layer by using slurry including CeO2 based polishing agent until the substrate is exposed.
