Title: Innovations of Kuang-Chih Wang
Introduction
Kuang-Chih Wang is a notable inventor based in Taichung Hsien, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, holding a total of three patents. His work focuses on advanced processes that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of semiconductor devices.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a dual damascene manufacturing process. This process involves several steps, starting with the provision of a semiconductor substrate that has an insulating layer. A trench and a via opening are formed within this insulating layer. A first glue layer, preferably titanium, is then applied over the trench and via opening. Following this, photolithographic and etching operations are used to remove part of the first glue layer, exposing a portion of the insulating layer while keeping the trench and via opening covered. A second glue layer, preferably titanium nitride, is formed over the first glue layer and insulating layer. A metallic layer is then deposited, filling the trench and via opening completely. The second glue layer and metallic layer have a polishing selectivity ratio of about 1:1, allowing for a polishing operation that removes excess material above the insulating layer.
Another significant patent by Wang is a method of improving selectivity between silicon nitride and silicon oxide. In this method, a pad oxide is formed on a substrate, followed by the deposition of a silicon nitride layer using low pressure chemical vapor deposition or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The silicon nitride is then implanted with boron ions to transform it into boron nitride. This is followed by a conventional method to form shallow trench isolation.
