Replacing a first liner layer with a thicker oxide layer when forming a semiconductor device |
abstract |
A method ( 300 ) of fabricating a semiconductor device. An oxide layer ( 220 ) is produced on a sidewall ( 211 ) of a stacked gate ( 210 ) and over a shallow trench ( 212 ) adjacent to the stacked gate. The thickness of the oxide layer is sufficient to withstand a subsequent etch. A first layer ( 222 ) of material is deposited over the oxide layer. In a first etch, the first layer is reduced to a first thickness along the sidewall. Because the oxide layer has a depth sufficient to withstand the first etch, the oxide layer serves as a protective layer for the shallow trench during the first etch. Accordingly, a protective liner layer does not need to be deposited in addition to the oxide layer. |
