Publication number: 20020048879Abstract: A process for fabricating a lower electrode of a capacitor on a substrate having a dielectric layer formed thereon. A node contact opening is first formed in the dielectric layer to expose a part of a conductive portion on the substrate. A node contact is then formed in the node contact opening such that the node contact protrudes from the dielectric layer. Subsequently, an insulating layer and a conductive layer are formed in sequence on the dielectric layer and the node contacts. The conductive layer and the insulating layer are patterned in sequence to expose a part of the node contacts and leave the residual insulating layer as a protruding part and a link layer, in which the protruding part is located on a part of the node contacts and a part of the dielectric layer, and the link layer is located on the dielectric layer outside the node contacts, serving as a link for the dielectric layer and the protruding part.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2001Publication date: April 25, 2002Applicant: UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventor: Chuan-Fu Wang

Patent number: 6329291Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming the lower storage node and contact for capacitors on a semiconductor wafer. The method includes an etch back process to remove a portion of the silicon oxide layer around the mouth of the contact hole to produce a rounded shoulder where the walls of the contact hole meet the face of the silicon oxide layer. When a contact plug is formed during a subsequent deposition process, the rounded shoulder results in local enlargement of the contact plug as well as filleting of reentrant corners. The contact plug therefore sustains substantially reduced mechanical stress during subsequent wafer cleaning processes. This stress reduction results in a reduced rate of lower node collapse and increased production yield of finished product.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2000Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: United Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: Chuan-Fu Wang, Hsi-Mao Hsiao

Patent number: 6297123Abstract: A silicon oxide layer is formed on a substrate surface of a semiconductor wafer. A node contact is formed in the silicon oxide layer. A storage node is formed on the silicon oxide layer and connects to the node contact. An ion implantation process is performed as a surface process on the silicon oxide layer. A silicon nitride layer is subsequently formed on the surfaces of the silicon oxide layer and the storage node. Finally, a high-temperature oxidation process is performed. The surface process reduces the difference in the incubation time for the silicon nitride layer deposited on the silicon oxide layer and on the surface of the storage node. The surface process also relieves problems associated with the nonuniformity in thickness of the silicon nitride layer. Neck-oxidation at the interface of the storage node and the node contact is thus prevented.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: United Microelectronics Corp.Inventors: Jhy-Jyi Sze, Chuan-Fu Wang
