Abstract: A method of fabricating a buried word line structure includes providing a substrate with a word line trench therein. Two source/drain doped regions are disposed in the substrate at two sides of the word line trench. Later, a silicon oxide layer is formed to cover the word line trench. A titanium nitride layer is formed to cover the silicon oxide layer. Next, a tilt ion implantation process is performed to implant silicon atoms into the titanium nitride layer to transform part of the titanium nitride layer into a titanium silicon nitride layer. A conductive layer is formed in the word line trench. Subsequently, part of the conductive layer, part of the titanium silicon nitride layer and part of the silicon oxide layer are removed to form a recess. Finally, a cap layer fills in the recess.

Abstract: A semiconductor process is described. A silicon-phosphorus (SiP) epitaxial layer is formed serving as a source/drain (S/D) region. A crystalline metal silicide layer is formed directly on the SiP epitaxial layer and thus prevents oxidation of the SiP epitaxial layer. A contact plug is formed over the crystalline metal silicide layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor process includes the following steps. A wafer on a pedestal is provided. The pedestal is lifted to approach a heating source and an etching process is performed on the wafer. An annealing process is performed on the wafer by the heating source. In another way, a wafer on a pedestal, and a heating source on a same side of the wafer as the pedestal are provided. An etching process is performed on the wafer by setting the temperature difference between the heating source and the pedestal larger than 180° C.
