N2O Nitrided-Oxide Trench Sidewalls To Prevent Boron Outdiffusion And Decrease Stress

View page
US Patent:
6566727, May 20, 2003
Filed:
Nov 3, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/433541
Inventors:
Reza Arghavani - Aloha OR
Robert S. Chau - Beaverton OR
Simon Yang - Portland OR
John Graham - Fort Collins CO
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 2500
US Classification:
257506
Abstract:
A method of forming an isolation structure in a semiconductor substrate is described. A trench is first etched into a semiconductor substrate. A first oxide layer is then formed with the trench. The first oxide layer is subjected to a nitrogen-oxide gas ambient and is annealed to form an oxy-nitride surface on the first oxide layer and a silicon-oxynitride interface between the first oxide layer and the semiconductor substrate. A second oxide layer is then deposited over the oxy-nitride surface of the first oxide layer. The method and isolation structure of the present invention prevents dopant outdiffusion, reduces trench stresses, allows more uniform growth of thin gate oxides, and permits the use of thinner gate oxides.

Integrated Circuit With Multiple Gate Dielectric Structures

US Patent:
6597046, Jul 22, 2003
Filed:
Aug 20, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/378053
Inventors:
Robert S. Chau - Beaverton OR
Reza Arghavani - Aloha OR
Bruce Beattie - Portland OR
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 2976
US Classification:
257411, 257406, 257410, 438216, 438261, 438287, 438591
Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes insulated gate field effect transistors (IGFETs), having gate dielectric layers wherein a nitrogen concentration in the gate dielectric varies between a first concentration at the gate electrode/gate dielectric interface and a second concentration at the gate dielectric/substrate interface. In one embodiment the gate dielectric is an oxynitride formed by an N plasma; and the oxynitride has top surface nitrogen concentration that is higher than a bottom surface nitrogen concentration. In a further aspect of the present invention, an integrated circuit includes a plurality of IGFETs, wherein various ones of the plurality of IGFETs have different gate dielectric thicknesses and compositions. A method of forming IGFETs with different gate dielectric thicknesses and compositions, on a single integrated circuit, includes forming a first oxynitride layer, forming a masking layer, removing a portion of the first oxynitride layer, forming an oxide layer where the oxynitride was removed, and forming a plurality of gate electrodes, a first portion of the gate electrodes overlying the first oxynitride layer.

Plasma Nitridation For Reduced Leakage Gate Dielectric Layers

US Patent:
6610615, Aug 26, 2003
Filed:
Nov 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/714001
Inventors:
Robert McFadden - Beaverton OR
Jack Kavalieros - Portland OR
Reza Arghavani - Aloha OR
Doug Barlage - Portland OR
Robert Chau - Beaverton OR
Assignee:
Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 2131
US Classification:
438776, 438197, 438777
Abstract:
A method of forming a dielectric layer suitable for use as the gate dielectric layer in a MOSFET includes nitridizing a thin silicon oxide film in a low power, direct plasma formed from nitrogen. A gas having a lower ionization energy than nitrogen, such as for example, helium, may be used in combination with nitrogen to produce a lower power plasma resulting in a steeper concentration curve for nitrogen in the silicon oxide film.
