  • Patent number: 9437423
    Abstract: In a method for fabricating an inter dielectric layer in semiconductor device, a primary liner HDP oxide layer is formed by supplying a high density plasma (HDP) deposition source to a bit line stack formed on a semiconductor substrate. A high density plasma (HDP) deposition source is supplied to the bit line stack to form a primary liner HDP oxide layer. The primary liner HDP oxide layer is etched to a predetermined depth to form a secondary liner HDP oxide layer. An interlayer dielectric layer is formed to fill the areas defined by the bit line stack where the secondary liner HDP oxide layer is located.

  • Publication number: 20120270380
    Abstract: A method for forming an isolation layer in a semiconductor device includes forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate. A liner layer that includes a liner nitride layer and a liner oxide layer is formed on an exposed surface of the trench. A flowable insulation layer is formed to fill the trench. The flowable insulation layer is recessed to expose a portion of the liner nitride layer on an upper portion of the trench. A first preheating process is performed to release stress of the liner layer. A second preheating process is performed to oxidize the exposed liner nitride layer. A buffer layer is formed on a portion of the liner layer that is formed on a sidewall of the trench and exposed after the flowable insulation layer is recessed. The buffer layer is etched to smoothen a rough portion of the liner layer that is formed when the flowable insulation layer is recessed. A buried insulation layer is deposited in the trench.

    Abstract: An isolation structure in a memory device and a method for fabricating the isolation structure. In the method, a first trench is formed in a cell region of a semiconductor substrate and a second trench in a peripheral region of the semiconductor substrate.

A portion of the silicon nitride layer, which is disposed on the second trench and is exposed after the removing of the portion of the SOD layer, is oxidized using oxygen plasma and heat generated from the plasma. A high density plasma (HDP) oxide layer is formed to fill the second trench.

  • Patent number: 8114733
    Abstract: A semiconductor device for preventing the leaning of storage nodes and a method of manufacturing the same is described. The semiconductor device includes support patterns that are formed to support a plurality of cylinder type storage nodes. The support patterns are formed of a BN layer and have a hexagonal structure. The BN layer forming the support patterns has compressive stress as opposed to tensile stress and can therefore withstand cracking in the support patterns.
