    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a process through which a shallow trench is filled in to be enhanced in manufacturing properties and yield by a method wherein an intermediate plane layer is formed, and the lower layer of a thick oxide is selectively etched to deteriorate in planarity. SOLUTION: An upper planar surface is formed so as to be flush with the fill-in upper surface 115 of a fill-in layer 110. A polish stop layer 130 is removed by the use of etching chemicals which are capable of etching both the polish stop layer 130 and a temporary fill-in layer 120, and an intermediate plane surface is kept unremoved leaving the cover part of the temporary fill-in layer 120 unremoved. A part of the fill-in layer 110 located outside the cover part of the temporary fill-in layer 120 is etched as deep as a point shallower than a trench by the use of chemicals which etch the fill-in layer 110 preferentially so as to enable the fill-in upper surface 115 of the fill-in layer 110 located above a reference surface to be flush with the fill-in upper surface 115 of the fill-in layer 110 located in the trench, whereby a planar surface is deteriorated in flatness.

    Abstract: FET devices (10) are manufactured using STI on a semiconductor substrate (11) coated with a pad (14) from which are formed raised active silicon device areas and dummy active silicon mesas (12) capped with pad structures on the doped silicon substrate and pad structure. A conformal blanket silicon oxide (22) layer is deposited on the device (10) with conformal projections above the mesas (12). Then a polysilicon film (24) on the blanket silicon oxide layer (22) is deposited with conformal projections above the mesas (12). The polysilicon film projections are removed in a CMP polishing step which continues until the silicon oxide layer (22) is exposed over the pad structures (14). Selective RIE partial etching of the conformal silicon oxide layer (22) over the mesas (12) is next, followed in turn by CMP planarization of the conformal blanket silicon oxide layer (22) which converts the silicon oxide layer into a planar silicon oxide layer, using the pad silicon nitride (14) as an etch stop.

    Abstract: A method for constructing an x-ray mask having a metal carrier foil supporting an x-ray absorbing structure on a metal frame characterized by providing a carrier plate coated with a nickel layer on which a carrier foil is deposited, then forming an electrodepositing mask on the carrier foil with portions of the carrier foil being exposed, electroplating gold onto the exposed portions and subsequently etching the carrier plate to form a window therein and then etching the exposed nickel layer to at least expose the surface of portions of the carrier foil.
