Abstract:

Exemplary methods of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming a doped silicon layer on a semiconductor substrate. A level of doping may be increased at an increasing distance from the semiconductor substrate. The methods may include etching the doped silicon layer to define a trench extending to the semiconductor substrate. The doped silicon layer may define a sloping sidewall of the trench. The trench may be characterized by a depth of greater than or about 30 μm. The methods may include lining the trench with a first oxide material. The methods may include depositing a second oxide material within the trench. The methods may include forming a contact to produce a power device.

Abstract:

Methods for forming a semiconductor structure and semiconductor structures are described. The method comprises patterning a substrate to form a first opening and a second opening, the substrate comprising an n transistor and a p transistor, the first opening over the n transistor and the second opening over the p transistor; pre-cleaning the substrate; depositing a titanium silicide (TiSi) layer on the n transistor and on the p transistor by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD); optionally depositing a first barrier layer on the titanium silicide (TiSi) layer and selectively removing the first barrier layer from the p transistor; selectively forming a molybdenum silicide (MoSi) layer on the titanium silicide (TiSi) layer on the n transistor and the p transistor; forming a second barrier layer on the molybdenum silicide (MoSi) layer; and annealing the semiconductor structure. The method may be performed in a processing chamber without breaking vacuum.
