    • Methods for manufacturing a semiconductor device, in which a chamfered metal silicide layer is formed by a 2-stage continuous wet etching process using different etchants, thereby resulting in a sufficient insulation margin between a lower conductive layer including the metal silicide layer and the contact plug self-aligned with the lower conductive layer are disclosed. In the manufacture of a semiconductor device, a mask pattern is formed on a metal silicide layer to expose a portion of the metal silicide layer. The exposed portion of the metal silicide layer is isotropically etched in a first etchant to form a metal silicide layer with a shallow groove, and defects due to the silicon remaining on the surface of the metal silicide layer with the shallow groove are removed using a second etchant, to form a metal silicide layer with a smooth surface. Microelectronic structures produced by methods of the present invention are also disclosed.

    • 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。
