Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for avoiding short-circuiting relating to contact to a substrate in a SOI integrated circuit.SOLUTION: A separate trench is etched through an active silicon layer at an upper side of an embedded oxide film on a substrate into the substrate and through any pad dielectric substance on the active silicon layer. A protrusion into the separation trench is formed in a lateral distance where lateral epitaxial growth of the active silicon layer is at least about 5 nm, and a portion of the separation trench around the protrusion is filled with a dielectric substance. A projective source/drain region is formed on the portion of the active silicon layer including the dielectric substance. As a result, mismatch contact passing around an end portion of the projective source/drain region is kept isolated from a sidewall of the substrate within the separation trench.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for reducing the queue time (latency) of a semiconductor device going through a manufacturing process.SOLUTION: An integrated tool and a method for reducing the defects when manufacturing a semiconductor device, by reducing the queue time during the period of manufacturing process, are provided. The integrated tool may include at least one polishing tool having at least one polishing module, and at least one deposition tool having at least one deposition chamber. At least one pump down chamber may connect the polishing tool with the deposition tool. The at least one pump down chamber includes a passage through which the semiconductor device is passed. Defects in the semiconductor device are reduced by reducing the queue time in various stages of a manufacturing process.
