    Abstract: A Top Oxide Method is used to form an oxide layer over an array of vertical transistors as in a trench dynamic random access memory (DRAM) array with vertically stacked access metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). The Top Oxide is formed by first forming the vertical devices with the pad nitride (16) remaining in place. Once the devices have been formed and the gate polysilicon (18) has been planarized down to the surface of the pad nitride, the pad nitride is stripped away leaving the tops of the gate polysilicon plugs extending above the active silicon surface. This pattern of polysilicon plugs defines the pattern over which the Top Oxide is deposited. The deposited Top Oxide (21) fills the regions between and on top of the polysilicon plugs. The Top Oxide is than planarized back to the tops of the polysilicon plugs so contacts can be made between the passing interconnects and the gates of the vertical devices. The Top Oxide layer serves to separate the passing interconnects from the active silicon thereby reducing capacitive coupling between the two levels and providing a robust etch-stop layer for the reactive ion etch (RIE) patterning of the subsequent interconnect level.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To check cracks within a final passivation laver 13 of an integrated circuit by reducing the stresses within a peripheral dielectric which are due to acute corner of a circuit pattern.
    SOLUTION: Stresses generally induced inside a dielectric is reduced by formings 15 and 17, at lower corner 14" of a circuit pattern 11 before adhering an outer layer (that is, a passivation layer) 13. When patterning it by metallic RIE process, this kind of rounding of the corner is achieved by a two-step metallic etching process, including the first step of creating a vertical sidewall and the second step of tapering the lower part of the vertical sidewall or creating a tapered spacer 15 along the under section of the vertical sidewall. When patterning it by a die machine process, this kind of rounding of the corner is achieved by a two-step trench etching process, including a first step of creating a vertical sidewall and a second step of creating a tapered side wall along the under section of the vertical sidewall.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chemical mechanical polishing method using fixed abrasive by which the thicknesses of oxide layers, particularly, siliceous oxide layers can be reduced quickly and effectively. SOLUTION: This chemical mechanical polishing method is characterized preferably by at least one step of simultaneously using a fixed-abrasive polishing member and an aqueous liquid medium containing an abrasive. When the first oxide layer to be polished has topographic variation, a topography reducing step using the fixed abrasive and an aqueous liquid medium containing a polyelectrolyte may be performed as part of the polishing method, including the reduction of the topography variation (height difference) extended to the oxide layer provided on a substrate before performing this thickness reducing method.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce contact resistance by containing a contact material layer and a dopant layer obtained from amorphous silicon in a contact material in contact with an epitaxial single-crystal silicon substrate and setting the concentration within a specific thickness range from the substrate to a specific, average dopant concentration. SOLUTION: A region, with a thickness of approximately 500 Å of a contact material in contact with an epitaxial single-crystal silicon substrate, is obtained from amorphous silicon with an average dopant concentration of at least 1020 dopant atom per cm3. A part with approximately 500 Å of a contact point includes the layer of a material, obtained from the non-doped amorphous silicon which is arranged alternately with the doping layer. Such a doping layer is separated by a layer obtained from the non-doped amorphous silicon, thus reducing the contact resistance.
