  • Publication number: 20250133783
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate; at least one trench located at a top surface of the substrate; and a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer and a third dielectric layer that are sequentially stacked on an inner wall of each of the at least one trench. A topmost surface of the first dielectric layer is lower than a topmost surface of the second dielectric layer and the top surface of the substrate, to form a first groove between the second dielectric layer and the substrate. An edge corner between the top surface of the substrate and the inner wall of each of the at least one trench is in a shape of a fillet curve. The fillet structure is smooth and round without a sharp corner, reducing point discharge and improving reliability of the shallow trench isolation structure.

  • Patent number: 12069851
    Abstract: A transistor, a memory and a method of forming the same are disclosed. The transistor includes a gate dielectric layer (200) having an upper portion (200b) and a lower portion (200a). The upper portion (200b) is multi-layer structure having an increased thickness without changing a thickness of the lower portion (200a). In this way, gate-induced drain current leakage of the transistor can be mitigated at uncompromised performance thereof. Additionally, the upper portion (200b) designed as multi-layer structure having an increased thickness can facilitate flexible adjustment in parameters of the upper portion (200b). The memory device includes dielectric material layers (DL), which are formed in respective word line trenches and each have an upper portion and a lower portion. In addition, in both trench isolation structures (STI) and active areas (AA), the upper portion of the dielectric material layers (DL) has a thickness greater than a thickness of the lower portion.
