Abstract: Methods for forming a semiconductor structure and semiconductor structures are described. The method comprises patterning a substrate to form a first opening and a second opening, the substrate comprising an n transistor and a p transistor, the first opening over the n transistor and the second opening over the p transistor; pre-cleaning the substrate; depositing a titanium silicide (TiSi) layer on the n transistor and on the p transistor by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD); optionally depositing a first barrier layer on the titanium silicide (TiSi) layer and selectively removing the first barrier layer from the p transistor; selectively forming a molybdenum silicide (MoSi) layer on the titanium silicide (TiSi) layer on the n transistor and the p transistor; forming a second barrier layer on the molybdenum silicide (MoSi) layer; and annealing the semiconductor structure. The method may be performed in a processing chamber without breaking vacuum.

Abstract: Exemplary methods of forming a semiconductor device may include etching a trench from a first surface of a semiconductor substrate to a first depth within the semiconductor substrate. The trench may be characterized by a first width through the first depth. The methods may include forming a liner along sidewalls of the trench. The methods may include etching the trench to a second depth at least ten times greater than the first depth. The trench may be characterized by a second width through the second depth. The methods may include filling the trench with a dielectric material. A seam formed in the dielectric material may be maintained below the first depth.

Abstract: A method of setting multi-state memory elements into at least one low-power state may include receiving a command to cause a memory element to transition into one of three or more states; applying a first signal to the memory element to transition the memory element into the one of the three or more states, where the three or more states are evenly spaced in a portion of an operating range of the memory element; receiving a command to cause a memory element to transition into a low-power state; applying a second signal to the memory element to transition the memory element into the low-power state, where the low-power state is outside of the portion of the operating range of the memory element by an amount greater than a space between each of the three or more states.

Abstract: Exemplary semiconductor processing methods may include performing a pre-treatment on a substrate housed within a processing region of a semiconductor processing chamber. The substrate may include a layer of silicon-and-carbon-containing material. The pre-treatment may remove native oxide or residue from a surface of the layer of silicon-and-carbon-containing material. The methods may include providing a silicon-containing precursor to the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include contacting the substrate with the silicon-containing precursor. The contacting may deposit a layer of silicon-containing material on the layer of silicon-and-carbon-containing material. The methods may include providing an oxygen-containing precursor to the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include contacting the substrate with the oxygen-containing precursor. The contacting may oxidize the layer of silicon-containing material to form a layer of silicon-and-oxygen-containing material.

Abstract: Exemplary semiconductor processing methods may include forming a p-type silicon-containing material on a substrate including a first n-type silicon-containing material defining one or more features. The p-type silicon-containing material may extend along at least a portion of the one or more features defined in the first n-type silicon-containing material. The methods may include removing a portion of the p-type silicon-containing material. The portion of the p-type silicon-containing material may be removed from a bottom of the one or more features. The methods may include providing a silicon-containing material. The methods may include depositing a second n-type silicon-containing material on the substrate. The second n-type silicon-containing material may fill the one or more features formed in the first n-type silicon-containing material and may separate regions of remaining p-type silicon-containing material.

Abstract: Exemplary methods of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming a doped silicon layer on a semiconductor substrate. A level of doping may be increased at an increasing distance from the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include etching the doped silicon layer to define a trench extending to the semiconductor substrate. The doped silicon layer may define a sloping sidewall of the trench. The trench may be characterized by a depth of greater than or about 30 μm. The methods may include lining the trench with a first oxide material. The methods may include depositing a second oxide material within the trench. The methods may include forming a contact to produce a power device.
