Description of the Invention (/) Background of the Invention 1. Technical Field The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, especially a buried bit line with a V-groove bottom. In order to increase the size of the bit lines, but without increasing the magnetic susceptibility between adjacent bit lines. 2. Description of Related Technology As is known in the art, semiconductor designers and manufacturers have a problem that is to reduce the size of a semiconductor device, but to increase the density of the device components. The semiconductor device must at least maintain the performance of the previous generation device. A high density semiconductor memory chip with a small cell size has been manufactured. For example, the read-only record billion cells that have been manufactured have a layout area of only 2F2, where F is the minimum feature size for a given technology. Monolithic cells with small size are often equipped with vertically arranged components to save layout area. For example, bit lines can be buried in a substrate under the vertical transistors and storage nodes. Referring to FIG. 1, it illustrates a read-only memory device (ROM) IG. R0M10 includes a buried rectangular bit line 12 formed along a shallow rectangular cross-sectional area trench 14. The upper bit line 16 is also formed on the surface of the substrate 20 in the same manner. The bit lines 12 and 16 are plated with a vapor 22 to insulate the bit lines 12 and 16 from the word lines 24 formed on the substrate 20 and in the trenches 14. When activated, the word line 24 enables the transistor channel 28 formed adjacent to the sidewall of the trench 14. Part 18 of bit line 12 is diffused into substrate 20. Part 18 must provide sufficient conduction through bit line 12. Problems can occur in reducing feature size. The diffused bit lines 12 at the bottom of the trench 14 can shorten the distance between adjacent bit lines 12. Alternatively, it can form a narrower size -3-This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) L ------------____ ( Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order --------- Line—— 479314 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (>) Yuan line 1 2; However, this will cause negative performance to the device Shock. The bit lines 12 and 16 are formed by ion implantation at the same time, and the trench walls are protected by a spacer layer (not shown). The thickness of the lateral diffusion of the spacer layer and subsequent implanted dopants determines the width of the electrical activity of the bit line 12. If the compartment is too thin, difficulties of very small dimensions can occur. In other words, if the spacer layer is too thin, the bit lines 12 will become wider, and the possibility of shortening the distance between adjacent bit lines 12 will increase. The widening of the spacer layer reduces the width of the bit line 12 and therefore increases the resistance beyond an acceptable level. It is also difficult to reduce the resistance of the bit line by manufacturing a thicker bit line, because each increase in thickness reduces the channel length of the channel 28 of the vertical transistor. Therefore, there is a need for an apparatus and method for forming a bit line that is sufficiently wide without increasing the potential between adjacent bit lines. According to the invention, the package guide containing the package is semi-transparent, and according to this, the package extension and extension are all directed to the channel and the ditch. Channel surface and groove table 〇 The upper plate with the first base plate surface in the base table is flat at the bottom of the upper cost base and the channel is square and there is a 'groove degree with the width of the bottom line The shape of the address should be set to a value of 10 to form a fch g-shaped horizontal cross-table as the base of the address plate adjacent to the line on the adjacent table.

The formed buried bit lines are V-groove cross-sections. This not only increases the effective width, but also maintains the separation between adjacent bit lines. According to the present invention, the distance between the bit line trenches can be reduced to Less than the size achievable by conventional techniques. The process and structure of the present invention will now be described in more detail based on embedded bit lines. Reference will now be made in detail to the drawings, wherein in all of the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate similar or identical components, starting from FIG. 2, which illustrates a partially manufactured semiconductor device 100. FIG. The device 100 includes a substrate 102. Although other substrate materials such as silicon on insulator can be used, a single crystal silicon substrate is preferred. The substrate 10 is patterned and etched to form a trench 104. In a preferred embodiment, one or more masking layers 106 may be deposited on the surface of the substrate 102. The masking and masking layer 10 may include a nitride compound, or another masking material that provides a material for selective etching of the substrate 102. The mask layer 106 is patterned to remove a part of the mask layer 106 at the position of the trench 104. The mask layer 106 can be patterned using standard lithographic process techniques. The mask layer 106 functions as an etch mask to form the trench 104. The trench 104 is formed, and an anisotropic etching process can be used, such as reactive ion etching. Referring to FIG. 3, a spacer layer 108 is formed on the sidewall 1 10 of the trench 104. The spacer layer 108 is preferably formed of the same material as the mask layer 106. The spacer layer 1 08 is formed of an anti-etching material, and is conformally plated with the rest of the masking layer 106, the side walls 1 10 of the trench 10, and the bottom 1 12, which will be described later. In a preferred embodiment, the spacer layer 108 is formed of a nitride having a sufficient thickness to resist subsequent etching processes. Etching process, such as reactive ion etching, is used to remove the bottom of the trench.

Department of Invention (t) 1 1 2 of nitride (or other deposited material). This etching process is performed by selecting the substrate 102, leaving the substrate surface 116 exposed in the trench 102. Part of the spacer layer 108 can also be removed by this etching process, so the thickness of the spacer layer 108 should be thick enough to resist this and other etching processes. Referring to Fig. 4, the exposed substrate surface 1 1 6 (Fig. 3) is exposed to a high anisotropic etching process. For the single crystal silicon substrate 102, the anisotropic etching shows that it is related to the crystal direction, and the laterally arranged trenches, such as the V-shaped trenches 118, are completed. The V-shaped trenches 118 are formed in a silicon substrate. If the surface 120 of the substrate 102 is a (100) surface having trenches in a (110) plane direction, the non-isotropic etching according to the present invention will expose the (111) surface of a symmetrical V-shaped trench (this is the highest density of silicon crystals) Face). Anisotropic etching can be performed using wet etching, such as using potassium hydroxide. Other etching processes can be used to complete other cross-sectional shapes. The surface 12 2 of the V-groove trench 118 may present other cross-sectional shapes, such as semi-circular, multiple V-shaped (W-shaped) or asymmetric V-shaped grooves. In a preferred embodiment of the belt, the surface 122 'is arranged transversely with respect to the surface 120. According to the present invention, performance can be improved by increasing the effective width of an address line (such as a bit line or a word line) formed near the surface 1 2 2. For silicon with (111) plane exposure, the V-shaped trenches 118 produce an angle b of about 71 °. Other etch processes and substrate materials can have other angles. Referring to FIG. 5, it is preferable to remove the mask layer 1G6 by an etching process to expose the surface 120 of the substrate 1G2. Part of the spacer layer 1G 8 is still along the side wall 1 1 0 of the trench 104 to prevent the side wall 1 10 from being ion-implanted. Dopants are introduced and implanted on the exposed surface of the substrate 102. The exposed surface of the substrate includes surfaces 120 and 122.
