Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing an electronic element such as a DRAM semiconductor memory with which proper capacitor characteristics or recording characteristics can be obtained even if the capacitor structure is very small, or a field effect transistor. SOLUTION: In a method for manufacturing an electronic element in which a dielectric (130) and at least one capacitor (150) having at least one connection electrode (120, 140) are formed, particularly, a DRAM semiconductor memory or a field effect transistor, in order to create a capacitor to obtain optimum capacitor characteristics even if the capacitor structure is very small, the dielectric (130) or the connection electrode (120, 140) is formed such that the occurrence of transient polarization is suppressed or at least reduced.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrode arrangement for charge storage with an external trench electrode (202; 406), embodied along the wall of a trench provided in a substrate (401) and electrically insulated on both sides in the trench by a first and a second dielectric (104; 405, 409); an internal trench electrode (201; 410), serving as counter-electrode to the external trench electrode (201; 406) and insulated by the second dielectric (104; 409) and a substrate electrode (201; 403), which is insulated by the first dielectric (104; 405) outside the trench, which serves as counter-electrode to the external trench electrode (202; 406) and is connected to the internal trench electrode (201; 410) in the upper trench region.
Abstract:
A sequential gas phase deposition (ALD, atomic layer deposition) of two or more precursors, introduced by means of process gases is controlled in a process chamber (10) of a process reactor (1), whereby the process chamber (10) is connected to an auxiliary chamber (20) for a precursor change and the precursor to be removed is thus diluted in the process chamber (10), such that a process duration in the sequential gas phase deposition, as determined by a precursor exchange, is shortened.
Abstract:
A structure on a layer surface of the semiconductor wafer comprises at least one first surface (8,9) area reflecting electromagnetic radiation and at least one second substantially non-reflecting surface area (10,11,12). A transparent insulating layer (13) and a light-sensitive layer are produced on said layer surface. Electromagnetic radiation is directed at the light-sensitive layer at an incident angle &thetas; and the structure of the layer surface is imaged onto the light-sensitive layer with a lateral replacement.
Abstract:
The capacitor has a first electrode layer (103), a second electrode layer (104,105) and a dielectric intermediate layer (110) between the electrode layers. The dielectric layer contains a high k dielectric and at least one component containing silicon. Independent claims also cover a method of manufacture.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a coating process for patterned substrate surfaces, in which a substrate ( 101 ) is provided, the substrate having a surface ( 105 ) which is patterned in a substrate patterning region ( 102 ) and has one or more trenches ( 106 ) that are to be filled to a predetermined filling height ( 205 ), a catalyst layer ( 201 ) is introduced into the trenches ( 106 ) that are to be filled, a reaction layer ( 202 ) is deposited catalytically in the trenches ( 106 ) that are to be filled, the catalytically deposited reaction layer ( 202 ) is densified in the trenches ( 106 ) that are to be filled, and the introduction of the catalyst layer ( 201 ) and the catalytic deposition of the reaction layer ( 202 ) are repeated until the trenches ( 106 ) that are to be filled have been filled to the predetermined filling height ( 205 ).
Abstract:
A trench capacitor has a first capacitor electrode, a second capacitor electrode, and a dielectric, which is arranged between the capacitor electrodes. The first capacitor electrode has a tube-like structure, which extends into a substrate. The second capacitor electrode includes a first section which is opposite to the internal side of the tube-like structure, with the dielectric arranged therebetween, and a second section, which is opposite to the external side of the tube-like structure with the dielectric arranged therebetween.
Abstract:
Production of metal oxynitride layers comprises depositing a chemically reactive metal compound on the surface of a substrate in the gas phase and reacting with nitrogen oxide and/or dinitrogen monoxide. The metal oxynitride is not silicon oxynitride (SiON). An independent claim is also included for a metal oxynitride layer produced by the above process.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a fabrication method for a trench capacitor with an insulation collar in a substrate, which is electrically connected to the substrate on one side via a buried contact. After forming and sinking an electrically conductive filling, an insulation collar and, if appropriate, a buried contact that is connected on all sides, the following are effected: providing at least one liner layer in the trench; filling the trench with a filling made of an auxiliary material, which filling is encapsulated by the at least one liner layer in the trench; providing a mask on the filling for defining the structure of the buried contact, the mask having no projections into the trench; removing a part of the filling using the mask; removing an underlying part of the at least one liner layer for uncovering a corresponding part of the insulation collar.
Abstract:
Structurization of process area (2) of substrate (1) with relief, inclined and/or perpendicular to horizontal substrate surface (101) and extending into relief to given coating depth (102) between relief depth (103) and substrate surface, involves depositing liner (3) from precursors in process chamber; limited deposition of at least one precursor and coating in uniform thickness almost only on upper part between substrate surface and coating depth.
