Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing at least one deep trench isolation in a semiconductor substrate including silicon and having a front side may include forming at least one cavity in the semiconductor substrate from the front side. The method may include conformally depositing dopant atoms on walls of the cavity, and forming, in the vicinity of the walls of the cavity, a silicon region doped with the dopant atoms. The method may further include filling the cavity with a filler material to form the at least one deep trench isolation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed: 1. A method of making at least one deep trench isolation in a semiconductor substrate comprising silicon and having a front side, the method comprising: forming at least one cavity in the semiconductor substrate from the front side; conformally depositing dopant atoms on walls of the at least one cavity by forming a layer of doped silicon that does not fill the at least one cavity; forming, adjacent the walls of the at least one cavity, a doped silicon r…
