    Abstract: Disclosed is a method to convert a stable silicon nitride film (101)covering a silicon substrate (100) into a stable silicon oxide film (102) with a low content of residual nitrogen in the resulting silicon oxide film. This is achieved by performing the steps of (i)providing a low pressure environment for the silicon nitride fim of between about l.33 X10 Pa(100 Torr) to about 13.3 Pa (0.1 Torr);(ii)introducing hydrogen and oxygen into said low pressure environment; and iii maintaining said low pressure environment at a temperature of about 600°C to about 1200 C° for a predetermined amount of time. This is an unexpectedand unique property of the in situ steam generation process since both silicon nitride and silicon oxide materials are chemically very stable compounds. Application of the claimed method to the art of microelectronic device fabrication, such as fabrication of on-chip dielectric capacitors and metal insulator semiconductor field effect transistors, is also disclosed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an FEOL capacitor such as a polysilicon-polysilicon capacitor and an MIS capacitor wherein high permittivity (high-k) dielectrics whose permittivity k is higher than about 8 can be assembled in a capacitor structure, and a method for manufacturing the FEOL capacitor.
    SOLUTION: First, a lower electrode 12 is formed in an Si containing substrate 10 by using ion implantation. The high permittivity dielectrics 14 whose permittivity k is higher than about 8 is formed on at least a part of the lower electrode 12. A doped Si containing electrode 16 of a bipolar device constituted of an intrinsic base polysilicon layer is formed on the high permittivity dielectrics 14. By performing the above processes, an MIS capacitor can be obtained. By the method, the FEOL capacitor wherein the upper and the lower electrode in which series resistance is small are formed, capacitance per unit area is large, and high frequency response characteristic is superior can be obtained. Further, chip size can be reduced remarkably, and especially in the use of an analog signal and a mixed signal in which a capacitor of large area is used, chip size can be reduced remarkably.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dual/wrap-around gate field effect transistor particularly having a short gage length, a low off current and good performance and a method for manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: In the field effect transistor comprising gates each having a length of 10 nm or less and a conductive channel having a width maintained at 1/2 to 1/4 of the length of the gate so that the gates are disposed at least at two sides of the channel, a device having a complete depletion layer is formed without considering the off current. The above-mentioned channel is obtained by forming a groove in a minimum lithographic size, forming sidewalls in the groove and etching a gate structure in a self-alignment manner with the sidewalls. The channel is thereafter epitaxially grown from a source structure in the groove so that the source, the channel and a drain region are integrated in a single crystal structure.
