摘要： Capacitors and methods of forming capacitors are described. According to one implementation, a capacitor opening is formed over a substrate node location. Electrically conductive material is subsequently formed within the capacitor opening and makes an electrical connection with the node location. A protuberant insulative structure is formed within the capacitor opening and includes a lateral outer surface at least a portion of which is supported by and extends elevationally below adjacent conductive material. First and second capacitor plates and a dielectric layer therebetween are formed within the capacitor opening and supported by the protuberant structure. In one aspect, the conductive material is formed to occupy less than all of the capacitor opening and to leave a void therewithin, with the protuberant structure substantially, if not completely filling in the void. In another aspect, the conductive material is formed to occupy less than all of the capacitor opening and to leave a void therewithin, with the protuberant structure only partially filling in the void to provide a tubular structure.

摘要： An electrically conductive structure, such as a capacitor is disclosed. A capacitor can be made by providing a space extending between a pair of gate stacks on a semiconductor substrate, the space exposing a charge conducting region on the semiconductor substrate. A BPSG layer is formed over the pair of gate stacks. A hard mask layer comprising alternating layers of doped polysilicon and undoped polysilicon is formed over the BPSG layer during a single deposition cycle of depositing polysilicon. Portions of the hard mask layer and the BPSG layer are selectively removed to form topographical structures extending above the gate stacks and having a trench therebetween. A spacer etch and a contact etch are performed to expose the charge conducting region. A doped polysilicon spacer is formed on the lateral side of each topographical structure. A second group of alternating layers of doped polysilicon and undoped polysilicon is formed over the topographical strictures and within the trenches. Portions of the hard mask layer and the second group of the alternating layers of doped polysilicon and undoped polysilicon are selectively removed. An etch selective to the doped polysilicon is performed to selectively remove the undoped polysilicon to create an electrically conductive structure with spaced apart doped polysilicon layers. A dielectric layer and an electrically conductive cell plate are formed over the alternating layers of the doped polysilicon and the undoped polysilicon. The semiconductor substrate is heated to diffuse dopant in the doped polysilicon into the undoped polysilicon. The resultant novel capacitor has fin-like structure extending therefrom which increase the surface area thereof.

摘要： Methods are disclosed for forming shaped structures from silicon and/or germanium containing material with a material removal process that is selective to low stress portions of the material. In general, the method initially provides a layer of the material on a semiconductor substrate. The material, which has uniform stress therein, is then masked, and the stress in a portion of the material is reduced, such as by implanting ions into an unmasked portion. The mask is removed, and either the high stress masked portion or the low stress unmasked portion of the material is selectively removed, preferably by an etching process. The portion of the material not removed remains and forms a shaped structure. The various methods are used to form raised shaped structures, shaped openings, polysilicon plugs, capacitor storage nodes, surround-gate transistors, free-standing walls, interconnect lines, trench capacitors, and trench isolation regions.

摘要： The present invention is directed toward building a microelectronic device in which a semiconductor substrate has thereon an etch buffer layer used in a processing method in which the buffer layer will act as an etch uniformity aid. In a method of making the microelectronic device, a semiconductor substrate is covered with an etch buffer layer and with an insulative layer. A first etch is performed by patterning and etching through a mask. The first etch penetrates the insulative layer, forms a cavity therein, and is selective to the buffer layer so as to expose the buffer layer. A second etch is performed that is selective to the insulative layer and the semiconductor substrate, and is not selective to the buffer layer. The buffer layer can be an insulative material of a type other than the material of the insulative layer or the buffer layer can also be of a conductive material. Where the buffer layer is of a conductive layer, the effect of the second etch is that the insulative layer is substantially undercut due to the etching of the buffer layer and due to selectivity to all other etch-exposed structures upon the semiconductor substrate. The undercut leaves a laterally-oriented second cavity within which lateral surfaces of the buffer layer are exposed. Following the second etch, a method of covering the laterally exposed surfaces of the buffer layer, exposed by the undercut, is chosen in order to isolate the remaining laterally exposed surfaces of the buffer layer. These methods include reflowing the insulative layer to cover the laterally exposed surfaces of the buffer layer, and forming a liner layer in the cavity to cover the laterally exposed surfaces of the buffer layer.
