Abstract:
The invention relates to a semiconductor element with at least one layer of tungsten oxide (WOx), optionally in a structured tungsten oxide (WOx) layer. The inventive semiconductor element is characterized in that the relative permittivity ( epsilon r) of the tungsten oxide layer (WOx) is higher than 50.

A semiconductor element with at least one layer of tungsten oxide, optionally in a structured tungsten oxide layer, is described. The semiconductor element is characterized in that the relative premittivity of the tungsten oxide layer is higher than 50.
Abstract:
The connection element in an integrated circuit has a layer structure arranged between two conductive structures. The layer structure has a dielectric layer which can be destroyed by application of a predetermined voltage. At least one conductive structure is composed of tungsten. The conductive structure adjoins a conductive layer made of tungsten or a tungsten compound, which is a constituent part of the layer structure and which adjoins the dielectric layer.
Abstract:
Trench capacitor comprises: trench (108) having an upper region (109) and a lower region (111) formed in substrate (101); insulating collar (168) formed in upper region of trench; trenched sink (170) formed in the substrate and partially penetrating lower region of trench; a dielectric layer (164) made of tungsten oxide as capacitor dielectric; and a conducting trench filling (161) in the trench. An Independent claim is also included for a process for the production of the trench capacitor. Preferred Features: The conducting trench filling is made of a tungsten-containing material. A barrier layer made of silicon oxide, oxynitride, tungsten nitride, titanium nitride or tantalum nitride is arranged between the dielectric layer and the substrate.
Abstract:
Following carbonaceous covering layer (2) deposition (e.g. by PCVD), ion implantation is carried out. Ionized carbon (4) or -nitrogen (4) is implanted into the covering layer. This converts the carbonaceous layer into diamond or a carbon nitride of the composition CxNy.
