摘要:
The invention provides a method for electrically connecting a polysilicon-filled trench (12) to a diffusion region (10) in a semiconductor device, wherein the trench (12) and diffusion region (10) are separated by a dielectric (14). The method provides for formation of a strap or bridge contact by utilizing a diffusion barrier layer (18) which prevents diffusion into an overlying polysilicon layer (32) when a subsequent boron (16) out-diffusion step is performed. Selective etching is then utilized to remove the polysilicon layer (32) where no boron has diffused, leaving a polysilicon strap connecting the trench and diffusion region.
