Abstract: A device including a thin film resistor (TFR) structure. The TFR structure is accessible by one or more conductive vias that extend vertically from an upper metal layer to completely penetrate a TFR layer positioned thereunder. The conductive vias are coupled to one or more sidewalls of the TFR layer at or near the sites of penetration. The TFR structure can be manufactured by a method that includes etching a via trench completely through the TFR layer and a dielectric layer above the TFR layer, and filling the via trench with a conductor coupled to a sidewall of the TFR layer.

Abstract: A method for forming trench capacitors includes forming a silicon nitride layer over a first region of a semiconductor surface doped a first type and over a second region doped a second type. A patterned photoresist layer is directly formed on the silicon nitride layer. An etch forms a plurality of deep trenches (DTs) within the first region. A liner oxide is formed that lines the DTs. The silicon nitride layer is etched forming an opening through the silicon nitride layer that is at least as large in area as the area of an opening in the semiconductor surface of the DT below the silicon nitride layer. The liner oxide is removed, a dielectric layer(s) on a surface of the DTs is formed, a top plate material layer is deposited to fill the DTs, and the top plate material layer is removed beyond the DT to form a top plate.

Abstract: A semiconductor device with an isolation structure and a trench capacitor, each formed using a single resist mask for etching corresponding first and second trenches of different widths and different depths, with dielectric liners formed on the trench sidewalls and polysilicon filling the trenches and deep doped regions surrounding the trenches, including conductive features of a metallization structure that connect the polysilicon of the isolation structure trench to the deep doped region to form an isolation structure.

Abstract: A semiconductor device with a deep trench has a dielectric liner formed on sidewalls and a bottom of the deep trench. A pre-etch deposition step of a two-step process forms a protective polymer on an existing top surface of the semiconductor device, and on the dielectric liner proximate to a top surface of the substrate. The pre-etch deposition step does not remove a significant amount of the dielectric liner from the bottom of the deep trench. A main etch step of the two-step process removes the dielectric liner at the bottom of the deep trench while maintaining the protective polymer at the top of the deep trench. The protective polymer is subsequently removed.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming a first opening having a first width and a second opening having a second width in a first dielectric layer over a silicon substrate. The openings expose the silicon substrate and the exposed silicon substrate is oxidized to form first and second LOCOS structures having a first thickness. A polysilicon layer is formed over the silicon substrate, so that the polysilicon layer fills the first and second openings. A blanket etch of the polysilicon layer is performed to remove at least a portion of the polysilicon layer over the second LOCOS structure while leaving the first LOCOS structure protected by the polysilicon layer. The silicon substrate under the second LOCOS structure is further oxidized such that the second LOCOS structure has a second thickness greater than the first thickness.

Abstract: A method to fabricate a transistor comprises: forming a first dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate; depositing a barrier layer on the first dielectric layer; depositing an anti-reflective coating on the barrier layer; depositing and exposing a pattern in a photoresist layer to radiation followed by etching to provide an opening; etching a portion of the anti-reflective coating below the opening; etching a portion of the barrier layer below the opening to expose a portion of the first dielectric layer; providing an ambient oxidizing agent to grow an oxide region followed by removing the barrier layer; implanting dopants into the semiconductor substrate after removing the barrier layer; removing the first dielectric layer after implanting dopants into the semiconductor substrate; and forming a second dielectric layer after removing the first dielectric layer, wherein the oxide region is grown to be thicker than the second dielectric layer.
