    • Methods of forming trench isolation regions include the steps of forming a semiconductor substrate having a trench therein and a masking layer thereon extending adjacent the trench. The masking layer may comprise silicon nitride. A recess-inhibiting layer is then formed on a sidewall of the trench and on a sidewall of the masking layer. Next, a stress-relief layer is formed on the recess-inhibiting layer. This stress-relief layer extends opposite the sidewall of the trench and opposite the sidewall of the masking layer and may comprise silicon nitride. The trench is then filled with a trench isolation layer. A sequence of planarization or etch-back steps are then performed to remove the masking layer and also align an upper surface of the trench isolation layer with a surface of the substrate. At least a portion of the masking layer is removed using a first etchant (e.g., phosphoric acid) that selectively etches the masking layer and the stress-relief layer at faster rates than the first recess-inhibiting layer. The recess-inhibiting layer is formed directly on a sidewall of the masking layer in order to limit the extent to which the outer surfaces of the stress-relief layer are exposed to the first etchant. In this manner, recession of the stress-relief layer and the voids that may subsequently develop as a result of the recession can be reduced. Multiple thin stress-relief layers may also be provided and these multiple layers provide a degree of stress-relief that is comparable with a single much thicker stress-relief layer.
    • 形成沟槽隔离区域的方法包括以下步骤:在其中形成具有沟槽的半导体衬底和其上邻近沟槽延伸的掩模层。 掩模层可以包括氮化硅。 然后在沟槽的侧壁和掩模层的侧壁上形成凹陷抑制层。 接下来,在凹陷抑制层上形成应力消除层。 该应力消除层与沟槽的侧壁相对并且与掩模层的侧壁相对延伸并且可以包括氮化硅。 然后用沟槽隔离层填充沟槽。 然后执行一系列平面化或蚀刻步骤以去除掩模层,并且还使沟槽隔离层的上表面与衬底的表面对准。 使用第一蚀刻剂(例如磷酸)去除掩模层的至少一部分,其以比第一凹陷抑制层更快的速率选择性地蚀刻掩模层和应力消除层。 凹陷抑制层直接形成在掩模层的侧壁上,以限制应力消除层的外表面暴露于第一蚀刻剂的程度。 以这种方式,可以减少应力消除层的凹陷和随后可能由于凹陷而形成的空隙。 还可以提供多个薄的应力消除层,并且这些多层提供与单个更厚的应力消除层相当的应力消除程度。

    • A method for forming a trench type isolation film comprises filling a trench with a composite film, flattening the resultant, and annealing the flattened resultant before a gate oxide film is formed. The annealing diffuses out any contaminant existing in an area near and/or contacting the trench on a surface between a semiconductor substrate and a pad oxide film. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the portion of the gate oxide film which is near the trench from becoming thinner than other portions. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the characteristic of the gate oxide film from deteriorating. In particular, it is possible to prevent a break down voltage from being lowered.
    • 用于形成沟槽型隔离膜的方法包括用复合膜填充沟槽,使所得的产品平坦化,并且在形成栅极氧化膜之前使扁平化的结果退火。 退火在半导体衬底和衬垫氧化物膜之间的表面上扩散存在于接近和/或接触沟槽的区域中的任何污染物。 因此,可以防止沟槽附近的栅极氧化膜的部分变得比其他部分薄。 因此,可以防止栅极氧化膜的特性劣化。 特别地,可以防止分解电压降低。

    • Methods of forming trench-based isolation regions with reduced susceptibility to edge defects include the steps of forming trenches at a face of a semiconductor substrate and then filling the trenches with electrically insulating regions. However, to prevent exposure of those portions of the substrate extending adjacent the trenches, supplemental oxide regions are formed at the interfaces between the upper portions of the trench sidewalls and the electrically insulating regions in the trenches, by exposing the electrically insulating regions to an oxidation atmosphere at a temperature in a range between about 950.degree. C. and 1100.degree. C. In particular, the supplemental oxide regions are formed as thermal oxides of higher density than the electrically insulating regions in the trenches. Thus, the supplemental oxide regions are more resistant to chemical etchants. Accordingly, when the electrically insulating regions are planarized and etched during back end processing steps, the supplemental oxide regions will not be entirely etched and, therefore, those portions of the substrate (i.e., active regions) extending adjacent the trenches will not be exposed.
    • 形成具有降低的边缘缺陷敏感性的沟槽隔离区的方法包括以下步骤:在半导体衬底的表面形成沟槽,然后用电绝缘区填充沟槽。 然而,为了防止邻近沟槽延伸的衬底的那些部分的暴露,在沟槽侧壁的上部和沟槽中的电绝缘区域之间的界面处,通过​​将电绝缘区域暴露于氧化物形成辅助氧化物区域 在约950℃至1100℃的温度范围内的气氛。特别地,补充氧化物区域形成为比沟槽中的电绝缘区域更高密度的热氧化物。 因此,补充氧化物区域更耐化学蚀刻剂。 因此,当在后端处理步骤中对电绝缘区域进行平面化和蚀刻时,补充氧化物区域将不会被完全蚀刻,因此,邻近沟槽延伸的衬底(即,有源区域)的那些部分将不被暴露。
