    • 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.

    • 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.

The process features the use of a thin silicon nitride shape, used as a hard mask, overlying insulator layers in the peripheral, non-DRAM device region, and used to prevent removal of these underlying insulator layers, during a wet etch procedure which is used to expose the vertical features of crown shaped, storage node structures, in the DRAM device region. The prevention of removal of insulator, located overlying the peripheral, non-DRAM device region, allows a subsequent, planarized, overlying insulator layer, to provide the desired smooth top surface topography for the entire semiconductor chip.
