Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a deep trench capacitor. In some embodiments, the method may be performed by selectively etching a substrate to form a trench having serrated sidewalls defining a plurality of curved depressions. A dielectric material is formed within the trench. The dielectric material conformally lines the serrated sidewalls. A conductive material is deposited within the trench and is separated from the substrate by the dielectric material. The dielectric material is configured to act as a capacitor dielectric between a first electrode comprising the conductive material and a second electrode arranged within the substrate.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:\n introducing a first gas into a processing chamber to perform an etch during a first time period; purging the processing chamber during a second time period after introducing the first gas; and introducing a second gas in the processing chamber, in-situ with the first gas, to form a protective layer on the substrate during a third time period that is after the second time period.
