摘要: Examples herein relate to three-dimensional (3D) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and corresponding methods. In an example, a film stack is formed on a substrate. The film stack includes multiple unit stacks, each having, sequentially, a first dielectric layer, a semiconductor layer, and a second dielectric layer. A first opening is formed through the film stack. The second dielectric layer is pulled back from the first opening forming a first lateral recess. A gate structure is formed in the first lateral recess and disposed on a portion of the semiconductor layer. A second opening, laterally disposed from where the first opening was formed, is formed through the film stack. The portion of the semiconductor layer is pulled back from the second opening forming a second lateral recess. A capacitor is formed in a region where the second lateral recess was disposed and contacting the portion of the semiconductor layer.

摘要: Examples herein relate to three-dimensional (3D) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices and replacement channel processes for fabricating 3D DRAM devices. In an example, a gate dielectric layer is formed on a sacrificial material, and a gate electrode is formed on the gate dielectric layer. After the gate electrode is formed, the sacrificial material is removed and replaced by a semiconductor material. A channel region of a device (e.g., a transistor) that includes the gate dielectric layer and gate electrode is formed in the semiconductor material. The channel region can be vertical or horizontal with respect to a main surface of a substrate on which the device is formed. A capacitor can be formed, such as before or after the semiconductor material is formed, and is electrically connected to the semiconductor material. The device and the capacitor together can form at least part of a 3D DRAM cell.

摘要: A three-dimensional semiconductor (3D) device. The 3D device may include a substrate, and a monocrystalline layer stack. The monocrystalline layer stack may include at least one monocrystalline semiconductor layer, separated from, and disposed over a main surface of the substrate. The 3D device may further include a plurality of epitaxial heterostructures, integrally grown from the at least one monocrystalline semiconductor layer. As such, a first epitaxial heterostructure may be disposed on a lower surface of the at least one monocrystalline semiconductor layer, facing the substrate, and wherein a second epitaxial heterostructure may be disposed on an upper surface of the monocrystalline semiconductor layer, opposite the lower surface.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of selectively forming a silicide in high-aspect ratio structures by use of a multistep deposition process. A first precursor gas is delivered to a surface disposed within a processing region of a process chamber maintained at a first process pressure, where the substrate is maintained at a first temperature for a first period of time. A purge gas is delivered to for a second period of time after the first period of time has elapsed. A second precursor gas is delivered to the surface of the substrate. The second precursor being maintained at a second process pressure while the substrate is maintained at a second temperature for a third period of time. The purge gas is delivered to the processing region for a fourth period of time after the third period of time has elapsed.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices and to semiconductor fabrication for DRAM devices. Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide an integrated processing system and methods for forming CMOS contact, DRAM array bit line contact (BLC), and storage node structures. The integrated processing system and methods enable deposition of contact and storage node layers with reduced contamination and improved quality, thus reducing leakage current and resistance for the final contact and storage node structures.
