    摘要: A shallow isolation trench structure and methods of forming the same wherein the method of formation comprises a layered structure of a buffer film layer over a dielectric layer that is atop a semiconductor substrate. The buffer film layer comprises a material that is oxidation resistant and can be etched selectively to oxide films. The layered structure is patterned with a resist material and etched to form a shallow trench. A thin oxide layer is formed in the trench and the buffer film layer is selectively etched to move the buffer film layer back from the corners of the trench. An isolation material is then used to fill the shallow trench and the buffer film layer is stripped to form an isolation structure. When the structure is etched by subsequent processing step(s), a capped shallow trench isolation structure that covers the shallow trench corners is created.

According to another aspect of the invention, the step of exposing the substrate to oxidizing conditions is conducted after provision of first and second insulating materials and subsequent anisotropic etch thereof to insulate the gate sidewalls. According to another aspect of the invention, the step of exposing the substrate to oxidizing conditions is conducted after provision and subsequent anisotropic etch of a first insulating material, followed by provision and subsequent anisotropic etch of a second insulating material.

    摘要: A method for forming a gate stack which minimizes or eliminates damage to the gate dielectric layer and/or silicon substrate during the gate stack formation by the reduction of the temperature during formation. The temperature reduction prevents the formation of silicon clusters within the metallic silicide film in the gate stack which has been found to cause damage during the gate etch step. The present invention also includes methods for dispersing silicon clusters prior to the gate etch step.

    摘要: Methods of forming contact openings, memory circuitry, and dynamic random access memory (DRAM) circuitry are described. In one implementation, an array of word lines and bit lines are formed over a substrate surface and separated by an intervening insulative layer. Conductive portions of the bit lines are outwardly exposed and a layer of material is formed over the substrate and the exposed conductive portions of the bit lines. Selected portions of the layer of material are removed along with portions of the intervening layer sufficient to (a) expose selected areas of the substrate surface and to (b) re-expose conductive portions of the bit lines. Conductive material is subsequently formed to electrically connect exposed substrate areas with associated conductive portions of individual bit lines.

    摘要: The invention includes buried bit line memory circuitry, methods of forming buried bit line memory circuitry, and semiconductor processing methods of forming conductive lines. In but one implementation, a semiconductor processing method of forming a conductive line includes forming a silicon comprising region over a substrate. A TiNx comprising layer is deposited over the silicon comprising region, where “x” is greater than 0 and less than 1. The TiNx comprising layer is annealed in a nitrogen containing atmosphere effective to transform at least an outermost portion of the TiNx layer over the silicon comprising region to TiN. After the annealing, an elemental tungsten comprising layer is deposited on the TiN and at least the elemental tungsten comprising layer, the TiN, and any remaining TiNx layer is patterned into conductive line. In one implementation, a method such as the above is utilized in the fabrication of buried bit line memory circuitry. In one implementation, the invention comprises buried bit line memory circuitry fabricated by the above and other methods.
