    Abstract: Disclosed is a fabrication of a bipolar transistor using an enhanced trench isolation so as to improve integration and performance thereof, comprising the steps of sequentially etching back portions corresponding to a trench using a trench forming mask to a predetermined depth of the buried collector to form the trench; filling an isolation insulating layer into the trench; polishing the isolation insulating layer up to a surface of the silicon oxide layer; sequentially forming a second insulating layer on the isolating insulating layer and the silicon oxide layer; removing the first polysilicon layer and the first insulating layer formed on an inactive region other than an active region defined by the trench; thermal-oxidizing the collector layer formed on the inactive region to form a thermal oxide layer; removing the second insulating layer and sequentially forming a third polysilicon, a third insulating layer and a second nitride layer; etching back layers formed on a portion of the first insulating layer to form an opening in the active region; forming a first side wall on both edges of the opening and removing the first insulating layer; forming an intrinsic base at a region where the first insulating layer is removed to electrically connect the intrinsic base with an extrinsic base in self-alignment; forming a second side wall on both sides of the first side wall; and forming an emitter layer on the intrinsic base.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fabricating an SOI substrate, comprising the steps of forming a first insulating layer on a single crystal silicon substrate; patterning the first insulating layer to form an opening; growing a single crystal silicon in the opening to form active and inactive regions; polishing the active region 31 as the first insulating layer as a polishing stopper to form a planarized surface; depositing a second insulating layer on the planarized surface; bonding a bonding substrate to the second insulating layer; and polishing the silicon substrate using the first insulating layer as a stopper up to a surface of the active region. By the method, a stray capacitance occurring between an SOI substrate and a metal wiring portion formed thereon can be significantly reduced owing to a relatively thick insulating layer therebetween, and a parasitic capacitance can be eliminated owing to an insulating layer interposed between a bonding substrate and an active region to be used as a buried collector.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device comprises sequentially forming a pad oxide film 62, first polysilicon film 63, Si oxide film 64, nitride film 65, and a second polysilicon film 66 on a silicon substrate 61, using trench masking to define active and inactive regions and forming a trench on both sides of the active region, filling the trench with insulating material and depositing it on film 66 to form an isolating film 67, polishing film 67 using film 66 as a first polishing stopper, removing film 66 and polishing film 67 using film 65 as a second polishing stopper, removing films 65 and 64, depositing a protective insulating film (65' of nitride, Figures 4F and 4G) on the active region, performing thermal oxidation to form a FOX film 60 only on the inactive region, and removing the films formed on the pad oxide film of the active region. Because the active region is defined using all insulator-filled shallow trench 67 before performing thermal oxidation, no oxygen penetrates into the active region during the thermal oxidation, whereby a FOX film 60 can be formed without occurrence of a Bird's beak.

    Abstract: The method comprises the steps of forming a trench in a substrate 51 to separate an active region from an inactive region, filling the trench with an oxidisation blocking material 59, capping the active region to prevent oxidisation thereof and oxidising to form a field oxide film 50 in the inactive region. No oxygen penetrates into the active region during the oxidation whereby a field oxide film can be formed without occurrence of a bird's beak. This enables fabrication of the semiconductor devices required for the production of memories of 1Gb or more. Two distinct methods are disclosed with reference to Figs 5a to 5j and 6a to 6h respectively. In the first, inactive and active regions are first formed using a photomask and the trench is subsequently formed. The oxidisation blocking material is then formed to fill the trench and cover the sidewall of the active region. In the second, inactive and active regions are defined by using a trench mask. The oxidisation blocking material is then formed to fill the trench and cover the inactive and active regions after which it is removed from these regions by polishing.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a fabrication of a bipolar transistor with a super self-aligned vertical structure in which emitter, base and collector are vertically self-aligned, the fabrication method comprising the steps of forming a conductive buried collector region in a silicon substrate by using ion-implantation of an impurity and thermal-annealing; sequentially forming several layers; selectively removing the nitride and polysilicon layers to form a pattern; sequentially forming a silicon oxide layer, a third layer and a silicon oxide layer thereon; forming a patterned photoresist layer thereon to define active and inactive regions and removing several layers on the active region to form an opening; forming a side wall on both sides of the opening; forming a collector on a surface portion of the buried collector region up to a lower surface of the polysilicon layer; removing the side wall and the third nitride layer to expose a side surface of the second polysilicon layer; selectively forming a base on an upper surface of the collector including a side surface of the polysilicon layer; forming side wall oxide layer on both sides of the base and the silicon oxide to define an emitter region; forming an emitter on the base; and forming electrodes thereon. In the method, an active region is defined by a photolithography, and thereby a trench isolation acting as factors of lowering in integration and device-performance can be omitted in the method. As a result, fabrication sequence can be simplified and integration can be improved.
