    Abstract: Expitaxial substitutional solid solutions of silicon carbon (101 ) can be obtained by an ultra-fast anneal of an amorphous carbon-containing silicon material. The anneal is performed at a temperature above the recrystallization point, but below the melting point of the material and preferably lasts for less than 100 milliseconds in this temperature regime. The anneal is preferably a flash anneal or laser anneal. This approach is able to produce epitaxial silicon and carbon-containing materials (101 ) with a substantial portion of the carbon atoms at substitutional lattice positions. The approach is especially useful in CMOS processes and other electronic device manufacture where the presence of epitaxial Si1-yCy, y

    Abstract: A process for forming dual gate oxides of improved oxide thickness uniformity for use in high performance DRAM systems or logic circuits, comprising:a) growing a sacrificial oxide layer on a substrate;b) implanting a dopant through the sacrificial oxide layer;c) implanting a first dosage of nitrogen ions in the absence of a photoresist to form a nitrided silicon layer; d) subjecting the substrate to a rapid thermal anneal for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to allow nitrogen to diffuse to the silicon/oxide interface;e) masking the substrate with a photoresist to define the locations of the thin oxides of the dual gate oxide;f) implanting a second dosage of nitrogen ions through the photoresist;g) stripping the photoresist and the sacrificial oxide layers; and h) growing by oxidation gate oxide layers characterized by improved oxide thickness uniformity in the nitrogen ion implanted areas in the thin and thick oxides.

    Abstract: Forming a vertical MOS transistor or making another three-dimensional integrated circuit structure in a silicon wafer exposes planes having at least two different crystallographic orientations. Growing oxide on different crystal planes is inherently at different growth rates because the inter-atomic spacing is different in the different planes. Heating the silicon in a nitrogen-containing ambient to form a thin layer of nitride and then growing the oxide through the thin nitrided layer reduces the difference in oxide thickness to less than 1%.
