    • A method using a single masking step for making double-cylinder stacked capacitors for DRAMs which increases capacitance while eliminating erosion of an underlying oxide insulating layer when the masking step is misaligned is described. A planar silicon oxide (SiO2) first insulating layer is formed over device areas, and a first silicon nitride (Si3N4) etch-stop layer is deposited, and openings are etched for capacitor node contacts. A first polysilicon layer is deposited to a thickness sufficient to fill the openings and to form an essentially planar surface. A second insulating layer is deposited and patterned to form portions with vertical sidewalls over the node contacts. A conformal second Si3N4 layer is deposited and etched back to form spacers on the vertical sidewalls, and the first polysilicon layer is etched to the first Si3N4 layer. The second insulating layer is selectively removed using HF acid while the first polysilicon and first Si3N4 layers prevent etching of the underlying first SiO2 layer. A second polysilicon layer is deposited and etched back to form double-cylinder sidewalls for the capacitor bottom electrodes. The first and second Si3N4 layers are removed in hot phosphoric acid. The capacitors are completed by forming an interelectrode dielectric layer on the bottom electrodes, and depositing a third polysilicon layer for top electrodes.

    • A method of forming a deep contact by forming a dielectric layer 20 over a semiconductor structure 10. A main point is that the hard mask 30 is removed after the plug 52 is formed. A hard mask layer 30 is formed over the dielectric layer 20. A contact photoresist layer 36 is formed over the hard mask layer 30. The hard mask layer 30 is etched through the contact photoresist opening 39 to form a contact hard mask opening 41 exposing the dielectric layer 20. The dielectric layer 20 is etched using a high density plasma etch process using the contact photoresist layer 36 and the hard mask layer 30 as an etch mask forming a contact hole 40 in the dielectric layer 20. The contact photoresist layer 36 is removed. A metal layer 50 is formed filling the contact hole 40 and covering over the hard mask layer 30. The metal layer 50 is etched back forming a plug 52 filling the contact hole 40. Now, the hard mask layer 30 is removed. The removal of the hard mask 30 after the metal layer 50 deposition: (a) prevents the contact hole 40 from being contaminated from photoresist and other contamination formed during the hard mask 30 removal steps; and (b) creates a plug 52 that does not have a recess.

    • A new method for forming stacked capacitors for DRAMs having improved yields when the bottom electrode is misaligned to the node contact is achieved. A planar silicon oxide (SiO.sub.2) first insulating layer, a Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 etch-stop layer, and a disposable second insulating layer are deposited. First openings for node contacts are etched in the insulating layers. A polysilicon layer is deposited and etched back to form node contacts in the first openings. The node contacts are recessed in the second insulating layer, but above the etch-stop layer to form node contacts abutting the etch-stop layer. A disposable third SiO.sub.2 layer is deposited. Second openings for bottom electrodes are etched over and to the node contacts. A conformal second polysilicon layer is deposited and chem/mech polished back to form the bottom electrodes in the second openings. The third and second insulating layers are removed by wet etching to the etch-stop layer. When the second openings are misaligned over the node contact openings, the polysilicon plugs abutting the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 etch-stop layer protect the SiO.sub.2 first insulating layer from being eroded over the devices on the substrate. The capacitors are completed by forming a thin dielectric layer on the bottom electrodes, and forming top electrodes from a patterned third polysilicon layer.

    • This invention relates to a novel fuse structure and method for deleting redundant circuit elements on integrated circuits. This fuse structure is useful for increasing the repair yield on RAM chips by deleting defective rows of memory cells. The method involves forming a fuse area in a patterned electrically conducting layer also used to form interconnections. A relatively thin (0.4 um) insulating layer is deposited having a uniform thickness across the substrate. The next level of patterned interconnections is formed with a portion of the layer aligned over the fuse area to serve as an etch-stop layer. For example, the conducting layers can be the first and second poly-silicon layers on a RAM chip. The remaining multilevel of interconnections is then formed having a number of relatively thick interlevel dielectric (ILD) layers interposed which can have an accumulative large variation in thickness across the substrate. Fuse windows (openings) are then selectively etched in the ILD layers to the etch-stop layer and the etch-stop layer is selectively etched in the fuse window to the insulating layer over the fuse area. This process allows fuse structures to be built without overetching that can cause fuse damage. The uniform thick insulating layer allows repeatable and reliable laser abrading (evaporation) to open the desired fuses.

    • The invention provides a method for fabricating a shallow trench isolation which is not susceptable to buried contact trench formation. The invention also provides immunity from the STI “kink effect,” as well as benefits associated with nitridation. The process begins by forming a pad oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate. A nitride layer is formed on the pad oxide layer. The nitride layer, the pad oxide layer, and the semiconductor substrate are patterned to form trenches. Next, a fill oxide layer is formed over the nitride layer, the pad oxide layer, and the semiconductor substrate. The fill oxide layer is chemical-mechanical polished, stopping on the nitride layer to form fill oxide regions. N2 ions are implanted into the fill oxide regions. An anneal is performed to form a buried oxynitride layer. The buried oxynitride layer is partially above the level of the top surface of the semiconductor substrate and partially below the level of the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The nitride layer is removed. Then, the pad oxide layer and portions of the fill oxide regions are removed using the buried oxynitride layer as an etch stop, forming shallow trench isolations.

    • A process for creating an insulator filled, shallow trench, in a semiconductor substrate, in which the insulator layer in the shallow trench, is not exposed to procedures used to remove defining composite insulator layers, has been developed. The process features creating a lateral recess, in a thick silicon nitride layer, used as a component of a composite insulator layer, where the composite insulator layer is used for subsequent definition of the shallow trench, in the semiconductor substrate. An insulator deposition, filling openings, and recesses, in the composite insulator layer, and filling the shallow trench, followed by removal of excess insulator fill, on the top surface of the composite insulator layer, results in the formation of a "T" shape insulator, comprised of an insulator shape, in the shallow trench, and comprised of a wider insulator shape, located in the composite insulator shape, with the lateral recess in the thick silicon nitride layer, and with the wider insulator shape, overlying the narrow, insulator shape, in the shallow trench. The insulator, in the shallow trench, is protected from the procedure used to remove components of the composite insulator layer, by the wider insulator shape.
