titleOfInvention | Isolation region forming methods |
abstract | In one aspect, the invention includes an isolation region forming method comprising: a) forming an oxide layer over a substrate; b) forming a nitride layer over the oxide layer, the nitride layer and oxide layer having a pattern of openings extending therethrough to expose portions of the underlying substrate; c) etching the exposed portions of the underlying substrate to form openings extending into the substrate; d) after etching the exposed portions of the underlying substrate, removing portions of the nitride layer while leaving some of the nitride layer remaining over the substrate; and e) after removing portions of the nitride layer, forming oxide within the openings in the substrate, the oxide within the openings forming at least portions of isolation regions. n In another aspect, the invention includes an isolation region forming method comprising: a) forming a silicon nitride layer over a substrate; b) forming a masking layer over the silicon nitride layer; c) forming a pattern of openings extending through the masking layer to the silicon nitride layer; d) extending the openings through the silicon nitride layer to the underlying substrate, the silicon nitride layer having edge regions proximate the openings and having a central region between the edge regions; e) extending the openings into the underlying substrate; f) after extending the openings into the underlying substrate, reducing a thickness of the silicon nitride layer at the edge regions to thin the edge regions relative to the central region; and g) forming oxide within the openings. |
