    • Methods of fabricating an isolation structure on a substrate are provided. In one aspect, a method of fabricating an isolation structure on a substrate is provided that includes forming a first insulating layer on the substrate wherein the first insulating layer has a first sidewall. A trench is formed in the substrate that has a second sidewall. A second insulating layer is formed in the trench. The second insulating layer displaces the second sidewall laterally. The first insulating layer is densified by heating to liberate gas therefrom and thereby move the first sidewall into substantial vertical alignment with the second sidewall. The risk of substrate attack due to trench isolation structure pullback is reduced. Trench edges are covered by thick isolation material.
    • 提供了在基板上制造隔离结构的方法。 一方面,提供一种在衬底上制造隔离结构的方法,包括在衬底上形成第一绝缘层,其中第一绝缘层具有第一侧壁。 在具有第二侧壁的基板中形成沟槽。 在沟槽中形成第二绝缘层。 第二绝缘层横向移动第二侧壁。 通过加热使第一绝缘层致密化,从而释放出气体,从而使第一侧壁与第二侧壁大致垂直对准。 由于沟槽隔离结构回缩引起的基底侵蚀的风险降低。 沟槽边缘被厚的隔离材料覆盖。

    • A fabrication process for semiconductor devices is disclosed for forming ultra-thin gate oxides, whereby a silicon substrate is subjected to an N2O plasma to form the ultra-thin gate oxide. According to one embodiment, the silicon substrate is heated in a deposition chamber and the N2O plasma is created by applying RF power to a showerhead from which the N2O is dispensed. By reacting an N2O plasma directly with the silicon substrate it is possible to achieve gate oxides with thicknesses less than 20 Å and relative uniformities of less than 1% standard deviation. The oxide growth rate resulting from the presently disclosed N2O plasma treatment is much slower than other known oxide formation techniques. One advantage of the disclosed N2O plasma treatment over thermal oxidation lies in the predictability of oxide growth thickness resulting from reaction with N2O plasma versus the strong variation in oxide formation rates exhibited by thermal oxidation. Following gate oxide formation, a high temperature anneal may be performed, preferably in an RTA apparatus. By combining the N2O plasma treatment with an RTA process, the disclosed method is believed to offer a controllable and reproducible method for fabricating highly uniform, ultra-thin gate oxides, having low trapping state densities.
    • 公开了用于形成超薄栅极氧化物的半导体器件的制造工艺,由此使硅衬底经受N 2 O等离子体以形成超薄栅极氧化物。 根据一个实施例,在沉积室中加热硅衬底,并且通过将RF功率施加到分配N2O的喷头来产生N 2 O等离子体。 通过使N2O等离子体直接与硅衬底反应,可以实现厚度小于20的栅极氧化物和小于1%标准偏差的相对均匀性。 由本发明的N2O等离子体处理产生的氧化物生长速度比其它已知的氧化物形成技术慢得多。 所公开的N2O等离子体处理对热氧化的一个优点在于与N2O等离子体反应产生的氧化物生长厚度与热氧化显示的氧化物形成速率的强烈变化的可预测性。 在形成栅极氧化物之后,可以优选在RTA装置中进行高温退火。 通过将N2O等离子体处理与RTA工艺结合,所公开的方法被认为是提供具有低陷阱状态密度的制造高度均匀的超薄栅极氧化物的可控和可再现的方法。

    • A method is provided for forming high quality nitride sidewall spacers laterally adjacent to the opposed sidewall surfaces of a gate conductor dielectrically spaced above a semiconductor substrate. In an embodiment, a polysilicon gate conductor is provided which is arranged between a pair of opposed sidewall surfaces upon a gate dielectric. The gate dielectric is arranged upon a semiconductor substrate. Nitride is deposited from a high density plasma source across exposed surfaces of the substrate and the gate conductor. The high density plasma source may be generated within an ECR or ICP reactor containing a gas bearing N2 and SiH4. The energy and flux of electrons, ions, and radicals within the plasma are strictly controlled by the magnetic field such that a substantially stoichiometric and contaminant-free nitride is deposited upon the semiconductor topography. Thereafter, the nitride is anisotropically etched so as to form nitride spacers laterally adjacent the sidewall surfaces of the gate conductor.
