    摘要: A method is provided for forming isolated regions of oxide of an integrated circuit, and an integrated circuit formed according to the same. A pad oxide layer is formed over a portion of a substrate. A first silicon nitride layer is formed over the pad oxide layer. A polysilicon buffer layer is then formed over the first silicon nitride layer. A second silicon nitride layer is formed over the polysilicon layer. A photoresist layer is formed and patterned over the second silicon nitride layer. An opening is etched through the second silicon nitride layer and the polysilicon buffer layer to expose a portion of the first silicon nitride layer. A third silicon nitride region is then formed on at least the polysilicon buffer layer exposed in the opening. The first silicon nitride layer is etched in the opening. A field oxide region is then formed in the opening.

    摘要: A method is provided for forming a planar surface of a semiconductor integrated circuit, and an integrated circuit formed according to the same. A gate oxide layer is formed over a silicon substrate. A first polysilicon layer is formed over the gate oxide layer and a nitride layer is formed over the first polysilicon layer. The first polysilicon and nitride layers are then patterned and etched to form an opening which exposes a portion of the gate oxide layer. An oxidation step is then performed to form a field oxide region in the opening. The field oxide region is formed to a thickness having an upper surface substantially planar with an upper surface of the first polysilicon layer. The nitride layer is then removed and the gate oxide and first polysilicon layers are patterned and etched to form a gate electrode and an interconnect. A silicide or other conductive layer, such as a second polysilicon layer, may be formed over the remaining first polysilicon regions and a portion of the field oxide layer to connect the gate and interconnect since the upper surface of the first polysilicon layer is substantially planar with the upper surface of the field oxide region and does not cross over the field oxide region.

    摘要: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit transistor begins with forming a gate electrode over an insulating layer grown on a conductive layer. Sidewall spacers are formed alongside vertical edges of the gate electrode and a mask is applied to a drain region. A relatively fast-diffusing dopant is then implanted into a source region in the conductive layer. Thereafter, the mask is removed and the drain region is implanted with a relatively slow-diffusing dopant. Finally, the conductive layer is annealed, causing the relatively fast-diffusing dopant to diffuse beneath the source sidewall spacer to a location approximately beneath the vertical edge of the source side of the gate electrode, and causing the relatively slow-diffusing dopant to extend beneath the drain sidewall spacer a lesser distance, so that the drain junction is laterally spaced from underneath the gate electrode. Due to the difference in diffusion rates between the relatively slow-diffusing dopant and the relatively fast-diffusing dopant, a transistor having a drain junction offset is formed.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure comprises a silicon substrate of a first conductivity type including wells of a second conductivity type formed on a surface thereof. The wells may be laterally isolated by shallow trench isolation. Transistors are formed in the wells by first forming several chemically distinct layers. Anisotropic etching then forms openings in a top one of the layers. A blanket dielectric layer is formed in the openings and on the layers. Anisotropic etching removes portions of the blanket dielectric layer from planar surfaces of the substrate but not from sidewalls of the openings to form dielectric spacers separated by gaps within the openings. Gate oxides are formed by oxidation of exposed areas of the substrate. Ion implantation forms channels beneath the gate oxides. Polysilicon deposition followed by chemical-mechanical polishing defines gates in the gaps. The chemically distinct layers are then stripped without removing the dielectric spacers. Conventional fabrication operations define other structures to complete fabrication of an integrated circuit.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure comprises a silicon substrate of a first conductivity type including wells of a second conductivity type disposed on a surface thereof and a dielectric layer including silicon nitride disposed on the surface. The dielectric layer includes openings at least partially disposed on the p-wells. The dielectric layer also includes a top layer comprising silicon dioxide having a thickness of less than ten angstroms. Trenches having a depth comparable to or greater than a depth of the wells extend into the substrate surface within the openings. A nonconductive material is disposed within the trenches and has an upper surface that is substantially coplanar with the dielectric layer. Portions of the dielectric layer are used as gate dielectrics for transistors.
