    摘要: A semiconductor device (10) is formed having an SRAM array with a plurality of SRAM cells. In forming the access and latch transistors, two different gate electrode compositions are used to form the access and latch transistors. More specifically, a dielectric layer (22) is formed between two conductive layers (26 and 28) within the gate electrode (52) for the access transistors while the dielectric layer is not formed between the two conductive layers (26 and 28) for the latch transistors. This structure allows an increase in the beta ratio for the SRAM cell thereby making a more stable SRAM cell without having to use diffused resistors between the access transistors in storage nodes or by having to form a differential thickness between the gate dielectric layers for the latch transistors and the access transistors.

    摘要: A process for forming a transistor (10) begins by providing a substrate (12). Field oxide regions (14) or equivalent isolation is formed overlying or within the substrate (12). A gate oxide (16) and a conductive layer (18) are formed. A masking layer (20) is formed overlying the conductive layer (18). The masking layer (20) and the conductive layer (18) are etched to form a gate electrode and define a drain region (19) and a source region (21). Spacers (22) are formed adjacent the gate electrode. First silicided regions (26) are formed over the source and drain regions (21 and 19 respectively). The masking layer prevents the gate electrode from siliciding. The masking layer (20) is removed and a second silicided region (30) is formed overlying the gate electrode. The second silicided region (30) and the silicided regions (26) are made of different silicides.

    摘要: Electrical shorts and leakage paths are virtually eliminated by recessing conductive nodules (52) away from a conductor (72) or not forming the conductive nodules at all. In one embodiment, the refractory metal containing material (52) is recessed from the edge of the opening (32). When forming a nitride layer (54) within the opening (32), conductive nodules (52) are formed from a portion of the refractory metal containing material (20) such that the conductive nodules (52) lie within the recession (42). In another embodiment, an oxide layer (82, 102) is formed adjacent to the refractory metal containing material (20) before forming a nitride layer (84, 112).

    摘要: Self-aligned silicide regions (24) are formed in a semiconductor device (10) using vapor phase reaction. A chemical vapor deposition system (40) is used, but rather than depositing a blanket silicide material, a precursor (48) is introduced into the reaction chamber (42) and reacts with only exposed silicon and polysilicon members of the device. The reaction is assisted by heating the substrate to a temperature at which the precursor is volatile. Because the precursor source reacts only with exposed silicon and polysilicon regions, subsequent etch steps are unnecessary. In one form, cobalt silicide regions are formed using a cobalt carbonyl as the precursor source.
