    • A process for forming a sacrificial collar on the top portion of a deep trench (114) of a semiconductor wafer (100). A nitride layer (116) is deposited within the trenches (114). A semiconductor material layer (120) is deposited over the nitride layer (116) and is etched back to a predetermined height (A) below the substrate 112 top surface. A semiconductor material plug (132) is formed at the top surface of the recessed semiconductor material layer (120), leaving a void (133) in the bottom of each trench (114). An oxide layer (134) and nitride layer (136) are formed over the wafer (100) and trenches (116), and the semiconductor material plug (132) and semiconductor material layer (120) are removed from the bottom of the trenches (116).

    • A method of forming relatively thin uniform insulating collar in the storage trench of a storage trench DRAM cell. A DRAM trench is first formed in a silicon substrate. Then, a nitride liner is deposited on the silicon trench walls. The nitride liner may be deposited directly on the silicon walls or on an underlying oxide layer. A layer of amorphous silicon is then deposited over the nitride liner. A silicon nitride layer is deposited on the oxidized surface of the amorphous silicon. A resist is formed in the lower portion of the trench, and the exposed silicon nitride layer on top of the amorphous silicon is removed, leaving the upper portion of the amorphous silicon layer exposed. The upper portion of the layer of amorphous silicon is then oxidized so as to form a relatively thin, uniform collar along the entire circumference of the trench. The nitride liner underlying the amorphous silicon layer enhances the thickness uniformity of the amorphous silicon layer and thereby the uniformity of the resulting oxide collar. The nitride liner also acts to limit lateral oxidation of the silicon trench walls during oxidation of the amorphous silicon layer. The nitride liner underlying the collar is also effective in cell operation to control the cell charge at the collar-substrate interface.
    • 一种在存储沟槽DRAM单元的存储沟槽中形成相对薄的均匀绝缘环的方法。 首先在硅衬底中形成DRAM沟槽。 然后,氮化物衬垫沉积在硅沟槽壁上。 氮化物衬垫可以直接沉积在硅壁上或下面的氧化物层上。 然后将一层非晶硅沉积在氮化物衬垫上。 在非晶硅的氧化表面上沉积氮化硅层。 在沟槽的下部形成抗蚀剂,去除在非晶硅顶部的暴露的氮化硅层,留下非晶硅层的上部。 然后,非晶硅层的上部被氧化,以便沿沟槽的整个圆周形成相对较薄的均匀的环。 非晶硅层下面的氮化物衬垫增强了非晶硅层的厚度均匀性,从而提高了所得氧化物环的均匀性。 氮化物衬垫还用于在非晶硅层的氧化期间限制硅沟槽壁的横向氧化。 在套环下面的氮化物衬垫在电池操作中也有效地控制在衬套 - 衬底界面处的电池电荷。

    • A two-step progressive thermal oxidation process is provided to improve the thickness uniformity of a thin oxide layer in semiconductor wafer fabrication. A semiconductor wafer, e.g., of silicon, with a surface subject to formation of an oxide layer thereon but which is substantially oxide layer-free, is loaded, e.g., at room temperature, into an oxidation furnace maintained at a low loading temperature, e.g., of 400-600° C., and the wafer temperature is adjusted to a low oxidizing temperature, e.g., of 400-600° C., all while the wafer is under an inert, e.g., nitrogen, atmosphere. The wafer is then subjected to initial oxidation, e.g., in dry oxygen, at the low oxidizing temperature to form a uniform initial thickness oxide, e.g., silicon dioxide, layer, e.g., of up to 10 angstroms, on the surface, after which the furnace temperature is increased to a high oxidizing temperature, e.g., of 700-1200° C., while the wafer is under an inert atmosphere. The wafer is next subjected to final oxidation, e.g., in oxygen and/or water vapor, at the high oxidizing temperature to increase uniformly the oxide layer to a selective final thickness, e.g., of 20-100 angstroms, whereupon the resultant uniform final thickness oxide layer-containing wafer is recovered from the furnace.
    • 提供了两步逐步热氧化工艺以改善半导体晶片制造中薄氧化物层的厚度均匀性。 诸如硅的半导体晶片,具有在其上形成氧化物层但基本上不含氧化物层的表面,例如在室温下被加载到维持在低负载温度的氧化炉中,例如 ,400-600℃,并且将晶片温度调节至低氧化温度,例如400-600℃,同时晶片处于惰性,例如氮气氛下。 然后将晶片在低氧化温度下进行初始氧化,例如在干燥的氧气中,以在表面上形成均匀的初始厚度氧化物,例如二氧化硅,例如至多10埃的层,之后 炉温升高到高的氧化温度,例如700-1200℃,同时晶片处于惰性气氛。 接着在高氧化温度下将晶片进行最终氧化,例如在氧气和/或水蒸气中,以将氧化物层均匀地增加至选择性最终厚度,例如20-100埃,由此得到均匀的最终厚度 从炉中回收含氧化物层的晶片。

    • In a method for forming a semiconductor device, a gate electrode is formed over a semiconductor body (e.g., bulk silicon substrate or SOI layer). The gate electrode is electrically insulated from the semiconductor body. A first sidewall spacer is formed along a sidewall of the gate electrode. A sacrificial sidewall spacer is formed adjacent the first sidewall spacer. The sacrificial sidewall spacer and the first sidewall spacer overlying the semiconductor body. A planarization layer is formed over the semiconductor body such that a portion of the planarization layer is adjacent the sacrificial sidewall spacer. The sacrificial sidewall spacer can then be removed and a recess etched in the semiconductor body. The recess is substantially aligned between the first sidewall spacer and the portion of the planarization layer. A semiconductor material (e.g., SiGe or SiC) can then be formed in the recess.
