    • A method of fabricating an STI structure comprising the following steps. A silicon structure having a pad oxide layer formed thereover is provided. A hard mask layer is formed over the pad oxide layer. The hard mask layer and the pad oxide layer are patterned to form an opening exposing a portion of the silicon structure. The opening having exposed side walls. A spacer layer is formed over the patterned hard mask layer, the exposed side walls of the opening and lining the opening. The structure is subjected to an STI trench etching process to: (1) remove the spacer layer from over the patterned hard mask layer; form spacers over the side walls; (2) the spacers being formed in-situ from the spacer layer; and (3) etch an STI trench within the silicon structure wherein the spacers serve as masks during at least a portion of time in which the STI trench is formed. The STI trench having corners. Any remaining portion of the spacers are removed. A liner oxide is formed at least within the STI trench whereby the liner oxide has rounded corners proximate the STI trench corners. An STI fill layer is formed over the patterned hard mask layer and filling the liner oxide lined STI trench. The STI fill layer is planarized, stopping on the patterned hard mask layer. The patterned hard mask layer and the patterned pad oxide layer are removed to form a divot-free STI structure having rounded corners.
    • 一种制造STI结构的方法,包括以下步骤。 提供了具有形成在其上的衬垫氧化物层的硅结构。 在衬垫氧化物层上形成硬掩模层。 将硬掩模层和焊盘氧化物层图案化以形成露出硅结构的一部分的开口。 开口具有暴露的侧壁。 在图案化的硬掩模层,开口的暴露的侧壁和衬里的开口上形成间隔层。 对该结构进行STI沟槽蚀刻处理,以:(1)从图案化的硬掩模层上方去除间隔层; 在侧壁上形成间隔物; (2)间隔物从间隔层原位形成; 和(3)蚀刻硅结构内的STI沟槽,其中在形成STI沟槽的至少一部分时间中,间隔物用作掩模。 STI沟槽有角。 去除间隔物的任何剩余部分。 至少在STI沟槽内形成衬垫氧化物,由此衬垫氧化物在STI沟槽角附近具有圆角。 在图案化的硬掩模层上形成STI填充层,并填充衬里氧化物衬里的STI沟槽。 STI填充层被平坦化,停止在图案化的硬掩模层上。 图案化的硬掩模层和图案化的衬垫氧化物层被去除以形成具有圆角的无纹隙的STI结构。

    • A method of fabricating an STI, comprising the following steps. A silicon structure having a pad oxide layer formed thereover is provided. An undoped poly buffer layer is formed over the pad oxide layer. A hard mask layer is formed over the undoped poly buffer layer. The hard mask layer, the undoped poly buffer layer and the pad oxide layer are patterned to form an opening exposing a portion of the silicon structure within an active area. The opening having exposed side walls. Inorganic spacers are formed over the exposed side walls. Using the patterned hard mask layer and the spacers as hard masks, the silicon structure is etched to form an STI opening within the active area. The inorganic spacers are removed exposing the upper corners of the STI opening. Using an oxidation process, a liner oxide layer is formed within the STI opening, over the upper corners of the STI opening and at least the patterned undoped poly buffer layer exposed by the removal of the inorganic spacers. An STI oxide layer is formed over the patterned hard mask layer, filling the liner oxide layer lined STI opening. The STI oxide layer is planarized and the patterned hard mask, the patterned undoped poly buffer layer and the patterned pad oxide layer are removed to fabricate the STI having rounded corners and without substantial divots.
    • 一种制造STI的方法,包括以下步骤。 提供了具有形成在其上的衬垫氧化物层的硅结构。 在衬垫氧化物层上形成未掺杂的多晶缓冲层。 在未掺杂的多缓冲层上形成硬掩模层。 将硬掩模层,未掺杂的多晶缓冲层和焊盘氧化物层图案化以形成暴露有源区域内的硅结构的一部分的开口。 开口具有暴露的侧壁。 在暴露的侧壁上形成无机间隔物。 使用图案化的硬掩模层和间隔物作为硬掩模,蚀刻硅结构以在有效区域内形成STI开口。 去除暴露STI开口的上角的无机间隔物。 使用氧化工艺,在STI开口内,在STI开口的上角上形成衬里氧化物层,并且至少通过去除无机间隔物露出图案化的未掺杂多缓冲层。 在图案化的硬掩模层之上形成STI氧化物层,填充衬里氧化物层衬里的STI开口。 将STI氧化物层平坦化,并且去除图案化的硬掩模,图案化的未掺杂多缓冲层和图案化的衬垫氧化物层,以制造具有圆角并且没有实质上的纹理的STI。
