Abstract: Forming a vertical MOS transistor or making another three-dimensional integrated circuit structure in a silicon wafer exposes planes having at least two different crystallographic orientations. Growing oxide on different crystal planes is inherently at different growth rates because the inter-atomic spacing is different in the different planes. Heating the silicon in a nitrogen-containing ambient to form a thin layer of nitride and then growing the oxide through the thin nitrided layer reduces the difference in oxide thickness to less than 1%.

Abstract: A trench isolation structure is formed in a substrate. One or more openings are formed in a surface of the substrate, and a liner layer is deposited at least along a bottom and sidewalls of the openings. A layer of doped oxide material is deposited at least in the openings, and the substrate is annealed to reflow the layer of doped oxide material. Only a portion near the surface of the substrate is removed from the layer of doped oxide material in the opening. A cap layer is deposited atop a remaining portion of the layer of doped oxide material in the opening.

Abstract: A method of oxidizing a substrate having area of about 30,000 mm 2 or more. The surface is preferably comprised of silicon-containing materials, such as silicon, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and metal silicides. A mixture of oxygen-bearing gas and diluent gas normally non-reactive to oxygen, such as Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and/or Rn are ionized to create a plasma having an electron density of at least about 1 e12 cm -3 and containing ambient electrons having an average temperature greater than about 1 eV. The substrate surface is oxidized with energetic particles, comprising primarily atomic oxygen, created in the plasma to form an oxide film of substantially uniform thickness. The oxidation of the substrate takes place at a temperature below about 700° C., e.g., between about room temperature, 20° C., and about 500° C.

Abstract: An improved capacitor is formed by a process where an improved node dielectric layer is formed with an improved dielectric constant by performing an Free Radical Enhanced Rapid Thermal Oxidation (FRE RTO) step during formation of the node dielectric layer. Use of an FRE RTO step instead of the conventional furnace oxidation step produces a cleaner oxide with a higher dielectric constant and higher capacitance. Other specific embodiments of the invention include improved node dielectric layer by one or more additional nitridation steps, done by either Remote Plasma Nitridation (RPN), Rapid Thermal Nitridation (RTN), Decoupled Plasma Nitridation (DPN) or other nitridation method; selective oxidation; use of a metal layer rather than a SiN layer as the dielectric base; and selective oxidation of the metal layer.
