  • Publication number: 20230046307
    Abstract: Disclosed is an epitaxial substrate with a 2D material interposer on a surface of a polycrystalline substrate. The ultra-thin 2D material interposer is grown by van der Waals epitaxy. The lattice constant of a surface layer of the ultra-thin 2D material interposer and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the substrate base are highly fit with those of AlGaN or GaN. The ultra-thin 2D material interposer is of a single-layer structure or a composite-layer structure. An AlGaN or GaN single crystalline epitaxial layer is grown on the ultra-thin 2D material interposer by virtue of the van der Waals epitaxy. Therefore, the large-size substrate may be manufactured with far lower costs than related single crystal wafers.

  • Patent number: 6703273
    Abstract: A method of increasing DRAM cell capacitance via formation of deep, wide diameter trench capacitor structures, has been developed. An underlying semiconductor substrate is used to accommodate deep, wide diameter trench capacitor structures while an overlying, bonded, thinned semiconductor substrate is used to accommodate narrow diameter trench structures, in turn used for communication to the underlying deep trench capacitor structures, as well as to accommodate the elements of the DRAM device, such as the transfer gate transistors. The use of an underlying semiconductor substrate for accommodation of the trench capacitor structures allows a wider diameter structures to be used, thus reducing patterning difficulties encountered when forming narrow diameter, deep trench capacitor structures.

  • Patent number: 6391706
    Abstract: A method is achieved for making improved deep trench capacitors for DRAM circuits with reduced trench faceting at the wafer edge and improved pad silicon nitride (Si3N4) uniformity for increasing process yields. The method utilizes a thicker pad Si3N4 as part of a hard mask used to etch the deep trenches. Then, after forming the deep trench capacitors by a sequence of process steps a shallow trench isolation (STI) is formed. The method utilizes etching shallow trenches in the same thicker pad Si3N4 layer and into the silicon substrate. A second insulating layer is deposited and polished back (CMP) into the pad Si3N4 layer. A key feature is to use a second mask to protect the substrate center while partially etching back the thicker portion of pad Si3N4 layer at the substrate edge inherently resulting from the CMP. This minimizes the nonuniformity of the pad Si3N4 layer to provide a more reliable structure for further processing.
