This paper deals with the study of one of these possible alternatives: the LOCOS/Recessed-LOCOS NCLAD structure. In this process a thin nitride layer encapsulates the oxide-nitride stack to prevent the formation of long bird's beak. The efficiency of this technique is dependent on the nitride oxidation. In order to study this process, via simulation, it is therefore necessary to model nitride oxidation: a \"modified Deal and Grove\" model has been implemented and calibrated in the 2D Process simulator IMPACT-4. The implementation problems and relative solutions are described.","PeriodicalId":341161,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices.

The thickness and spatial location of the amorphous layers determine the type of the extended defects and the number of point defects remaining in the silicon crystal after a recrystallization step. It is believed that the lateral diffusion of the defects is a possible source of the inverse short channel effect in MOS transistors. We present an accurate multi-dimensional model to predict the range of amorphous layers within ion implanted single-crystal silicon. The critical parameters ruling the amorphization process are the implantation dose D, the ion mass and energy, and the substrate temperature T which are all taken into account by our simulation method.","PeriodicalId":341161,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices.

TCAD diagnosis of the failure was conducted and newly clarified the biasing effect of the guard-band (N/sup +/) layer and the layout-related latchup mechanism, which leads to a practical latchup-immunity design in sub-/spl mu/m CMOS process and layout. To overcome process-margin problem against latchup, a simple CMOS process is proposed for the 0.35 /spl mu/m DRAM.","PeriodicalId":341161,"journal":{"name":"1996 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices.
