Abstract:
In a process of forming hemi-spherical silicon grains on an amorphous silicon film in accordance with the "crystal nucleation" process, in order to form crystal nuclei on a top surface and a side surface of the amorphous silicon film, SiH.sub.4 is irradiated onto the top and side surfaces of the amorphous silicon film at a stabilized temperature which is lower than, by at least 5.degree. C., an annealing temperature for growing the hemi-spherical silicon grains from the crystal nuclei, with the result that it is possible to suppress or retard the growth of the crystals growing into the amorphous silicon film from a boundary between the amorphous silicon film and an interlayer insulator film. Thereafter, the amorphous silicon film having the crystal nuclei thus formed on the surface thereof is annealed at the annealing temperature so that the hemi-spherical silicon grains are formed on the whole surface of the top and side surfaces of the amorphous silicon film.

Abstract:
A method of forming a silicon layer disclosed herein includes the steps of depositing an amorphous silicon layer on a substrate, irradiating a silane gas to the substrate, and performing an annealing process in a high vacuum or in an inert gas. The amorphous silicon layer is thereby converted into a silicon layer having an uneven surface caused by hemispherical or spherical silicon grains. The annealing process may be performed while irradiating a hydrogen gas or an oxidizing gas. In this case, such a silicon layer that has an even surface is formed.

A method for fabricating a polycrystalline silicon having a roughed surface, which is useful for a capacitor electrode is disclosed. The method is featured by depositing a polycrystalline silicon layer in such a manner that grains of silicon are caused at the surface of the polycrystalline silicon layer. The polycrystalline silicon layer thus obtained has a large effective surface area and is suitable for a capacitor electrode because of its increased effective surface area.
Abstract:
A thermal oxidation method for producing a semiconductor device having a capacitor insulating film structure capable of making a thin film having a small leakage current and small temperature dependence of the leakage current. In the insulating film, a silicon nitride film with a small electron mobility and a silicon oxide film with a small hole mobility are alternately laminated in order of the nitride film/oxide film/nitride film/oxide film from a lower electrode side. A current component such as electrons flowing in this insulating film structure is limited by the layer with the smaller mobility to reduce the leakage current. An oxide film thickness of approximately several .ANG. can thus be strictly controlled. By forming the silicon nitride film between the high dielectric oxide film and the electrode, the reaction of the silicon electrode and the high dielectric oxide film can be prevented.
