Abstract: 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.

Abstract: CMP of integrated circuits containing DRAM arrays with trench capacitors fill the trenches with oxide, resulting in a an array of oxide structures that is dense compared with the concentration in the surrounding support structures and therefore has a higher loading. A conformal layer is deposited over the wafer, increasing the loading in the array, but filling in spaces between active areas. A blanket etch removes material in both the array and the supports. A block etch balances the amount of material in the array and the supports. A supplementary oxide deposition in the array fills spaces between the structures to a nearly uniform density.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a method for employing and removing inorganic anti-reflection coatings, includes the steps of providing a first dielectric layer on a semiconductor device structure to be processed, the first dielectric layer being selectively removable relative to the semiconductor device structure, and forming an inorganic dielectric anti-reflection coating (DARC) on the first dielectric layer, the DARC being selectively removable relative to the first dielectric layer. A resist layer is patterned on the DARC. The resist is selectively removable relative to the DARC. The semiconductor device structure is etched, and the resist layer, the DARC and the first dielectric layer are selectively removed.

Abstract: A pad layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate 102 and a buffer layer 108 disposed within the pad layer such that the pad layer is divided into a dielectric layer 106 below the buffer layer and a mask layer 110 above the buffer layer. A method of forming layers with uniform planarity and thickness on a semiconductor chip includes the steps of providing a substrate having a thermal pad 106 formed thereon, forming a dielectric layer 106 on the thermal pad, forming a buffer layer 108 on the dielectric layer wherein the buffer layer is made from a different material than the dielectric layer and forming a mask layer 110 on the buffer layer wherein the buffer layer is made from a different material than the mask layer.

Abstract: A new class of high-density, vertical Fin-FET devices that exhibit low contact resistance is described. These vertical Fin-FET devices have vertical silicon “fins” (12A) that act as the transistor body. Doped source and drain regions (26A, 28A) are formed at the bottoms and tops, respectively, of the fins (12A). Gates (24A, 24B) are formed along sidewalls of the fins. Current flows vertically through the fins (12A) between the source and drain regions (26A, 28A) when an appropriate bias is applied to the gates (24A, 24B). An integrated process for forming pFET, nFET, multi-fin, single-fin, multi-gate and double-gate vertical Fin-FETs simultaneously is described.

Abstract: In a vertical-transistor DRAM cell, the problem of making a reliable electrical connection between the node of the deep trench capacitor and the lower electrode of the vertical transistor is solved by; depositing a temporary insulator layer, forming a vertical spacer on the trench walls above the temporary insulator, then stripping the insulator to expose the substrate walls; diffusing dopant into the substrate walls to form a self-aligned extension of the buried strap; depositing the final gate insulator; and then forming the upper portion of the DRAM cell.
