    • A method for forming shallow trench isolation (STI) with a higher aspect ratio is given. This method allows the formation of narrower and deeper trench isolation regions while avoiding substrate damage due to excessive etching and severe microloading effects. In addition, it yields uniform depth trenches while avoiding problems of etch residue at the bottom of the trench. This method is achieved by using a process where a trench is etched, and an oxide layer grown along the bottom and sidewalls of the trench. Oxygen or field isolation ions are then implanted into the bottom of the trench. A nitride spacer is then formed along the bottom and sidewalls of the trench, followed by an isotropic etch removing the nitride and oxide from the bottom of the trench. An oxide deposition then fills the trench, followed by a planarization step completing the isolation structure.
    • 给出了一种形成具有较高纵横比的浅沟槽隔离(STI)的方法。 该方法允许形成更窄和更深的沟槽隔离区域,同时避免由于过度蚀刻和严重的微负载效应引起的基板损伤。 此外,它产生均匀的深度沟槽,同时避免沟槽底部的蚀刻残留问题。 该方法通过使用其中蚀刻沟槽的工艺和沿着沟槽的底部和侧壁生长的氧化物层来实现。 然后将氧或场隔离离子注入到沟槽的底部。 然后沿着沟槽的底部和侧壁形成氮化物间隔物,随后通过各向同性蚀刻从沟槽的底部去除氮化物和氧化物。 氧化物沉积然后填充沟槽,随后是完成隔离结构的平坦化步骤。

    • A gate structure having associated (LDD) regions and source and drain is formed as is conventional. A first oxide spacer, for example, is formed along the sidewalls of the gate structure. A layer of metal such as titanium is then deposited over the surface of the gate structure. Second sidewall spacers are formed covering the metal over the first sidewall spacer and covering the metal over isolation regions. A layer of polysilicon is deposited over the surface of the gate structure. A rapid thermal annealing (RTA) is performed causing the metal to react with both the silicon in the junction below the metal and the polysilicon above the metal forming a metal silicide. Metal along the sidewalls between the first and second sidewall spacers and over the isolation regions does not react and is etched away. By providing an additional source of silicon in the polysilicon layer above the metal, a thicker silicide is achieved.

    • A method of forming a metal gate structure, on a high k gate insulator layer, for NMOS devices, and simultaneously forming a metal-polysilicon gate structure, on the same high k gate insulator layer, for PMOS devices, has been developed. The method features forming openings in a composite insulator layer, via removal of silicon nitride dummy gate structures that were embedded in a composite insulator layer, with the openings exposing regions of the semiconductor substrate to be used for subsequent NMOS and PMOS channel regions. Deposition of a high k gate insulator layer is followed by deposition of an in situ doped polysilicon layer. After removal of a portion of the in situ doped polysilicon layer located in the NMOS region, a metal layer is deposited on the underlying high k gate insulator layer in the NMOS region, and on the in situ polysilicon layer in the PMOS region. Removal of unwanted regions of metal, and of in situ polysilicon, result in the definition of a metal gate structure, on the high k gate insulator layer, in the NMOS region, and in the definition of a metal—in situ doped polysilicon gate structure, on the high k gate insulator layer, in the PMOS region, with both gate structures embedded in openings in the composite insulator layer, previously formed via removal of the silicon nitride dummy gate structures.
