摘要： A method for increasing the surface area of an original surface in a semiconductor device is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the method includes forming a layered mask upon the original surface, the layered mask including a masking layer thereatop having a varying thickness. An isotropic etch is then applied to the layered mask, which isotropic etch further removes exposed portions of the original surface as the layered mask is removed. Thereby, the isotropic etch enhances the non-uniformity of the masking layer and creates a non-uniformity in planarity of the original surface.

摘要： A system and method of forming an electrical connection (142) to the interior of a deep trench (104) in an integrated circuit utilizing a low-angle dopant implantation (114) to create a self-aligned mask over the trench. The electrical connection preferably connects the interior plate (110) of a trench capacitor to a terminal of a vertical trench transistor. The low-angle implantation process, in combination with a low-aspect ratio mask structure, generally enables the doping of only a portion of a material overlying or in the trench. The material may then be subjected to a process step, such as oxidation, with selectivity between the doped and undoped regions. Another process step, such as an etch process, may then be used to remove a portion of the material (120) overlying or in the trench, leaving a self-aligned mask (122) covering a portion of the trench, and the remainder of the trench exposed for further processing. Alternatively, an etch process alone, with selectivity between the doped and undoped regions, may be used to create the mask. The self-aligned mask then allows for the removal of selective portions of the materials in the trench so that a vertical trench transistor and a buried strap may be formed on only one side of the trench.

摘要： A method of forming a vertically-oriented device in an integrated circuit using a selective wet etch to remove only a part of the sidewalls in a deep trench, and the device formed therefrom. While a portion of the trench perimeter (e.g., isolation collar 304) is protected by a mask (e.g., polysilicon 318), the exposed portion is selectively wet etched to remove selected crystal planes from the exposed portion of the trench, leaving a flat substrate sidewall (324) with a single crystal plane. A single side vertical trench transistor may be formed on the flat sidewall. A vertical gate oxide (e.g. silicon dioxide 330) of the transistor formed on the single crystal plane is substantially uniform across the transistor channel, providing reduced chance of leakage and consistent threshold voltages from device to device. In addition, trench widening is substantially reduced, increasing the device to device isolation distance in a single sided buried strap junction device layout.
摘要翻译：一种使用选择性湿蚀刻在集成电路中形成垂直取向器件的方法，以仅去除深沟槽中的一部分侧壁，以及由此形成的器件。虽然沟槽周边的一部分（例如，隔离环304）被掩模（例如，多晶硅318）保护，但是暴露部分被选择性地湿蚀刻以从沟槽的暴露部分移除所选择的晶面，留下平坦的衬底侧壁（324）与单晶面。单侧垂直沟槽晶体管可以形成在平坦侧壁上。形成在单晶平面上的晶体管的垂直栅极氧化物（例如二氧化硅330）在晶体管沟道上基本上是均匀的，从而降低了泄漏的机会和从器件到器件的一致的阈值电压。此外，沟槽加宽大大降低，从而在单面掩埋带接合器件布局中将器件增加到器件隔离距离。

摘要： A method for forming substantially uniformly thick, thermally grown, silicon dioxide material on a silicon body independent of axis. A trench is formed in a surface of the silicon body, such trench having sidewalls disposed in different crystallographic planes, one of such planes being the crystallographic plane and another one of such planes being the plane. A substantially uniform layer of silicon nitride is formed on the sidewalls. The trench, with the substantially uniform layer of silicon nitride, is subjected to a silicon oxidation environment with sidewalls in the plane being oxidized at a higher rate than sidewalls in the plane producing silicon dioxide on the silicon nitride layer having thickness over the plane greater than over the plane. The silicon dioxide is subjected to an etch to selectively remove silicon dioxide while leaving substantially un-etched silicon nitride to thereby remove portions of the silicon dioxide over the plane and to thereby expose underlying portions of the silicon nitride material while leaving portions of the silicon dioxide over the plane on underlying portions of the silicon nitride material. Exposed portions of the silicon nitride material are selectively removed to expose underlying portions of the sidewalls of the trench disposed in the plane while leaving substantially un-etched portions of the silicon nitride material disposed on sidewalls of the trench disposed in the plane. The structure is then subjected to an silicon oxidation environment to produce the substantially uniform silicon dioxide layer on the sidewalls of the trench.

摘要： A method of using at least two insulative layers to form the isolation collar of a trench device, and the device formed therefrom. The first layer is preferably an oxide (e.g., silicon dioxide 116) formed on the trench substrate sidewalls, and is formed through a TEOS, LOCOS, or combined TEOS/LOCOS process. Preferably, both the TEOS process and the LOCOS process are used to form the first layer. The second layer is preferably a silicon nitride layer (114) formed on the oxide layer. The multiple layers function as an isolation collar stack for the trench. The dopant penetration barrier properties of the second layer permit the dielectric collar stack to be used as a self aligned mask for subsequent buried plate (120) doping.
