    摘要: A method for creating a metal filled, high aspect ratio, contact opening, in thick insulator layers, allowing contact between a metal interconnect structure and a region of a semiconductor substrate, has been developed. The process features creating a stacked contact hole opening, comprised of a upper contact hole opening, of a specific diameter size, overlying a lower contact hole opening, having an opening larger in diameter than the opening used for the upper contact hole opening. The lower contact hole opening is created via an anisotropic RIE procedure, followed by a wet etch procedure, used to enlarge the diameter of the lower contact hole opening. The upper contact hole opening, created using an anisotropic RIE procedure, is formed using the original diameter opening, used previously for the pre-wet etched, lower contact hole opening, and is easily aligned to a metal filled, enlarged lower contact hole opening.

    摘要: A method of forming a metal-oxide-metal (MIM), capacitor structure wherein the fabrication procedures used for the MIM capacitor structure are integrated into a process sequence used to form damascene type copper interconnect structures for CMOS type devices, has been developed. The process sequence features a copper damascene connector located overlying exposed portions of a semiconductor substrate, and underlying the MIM capacitor structure. The MIM capacitor structure, comprised a capacitor dielectric layer sandwiched between conductive capacitor plates, is protected during several selective reactive ion etching patterning procedures by an overlying anti-reflective coating (ARC), insulator shape, and by insulator spacers located on the sides of the ARC shape and on the sides of a capacitor dielectric shape. The presence of the insulator shape protects the MIM capacitor structure during a subsequent process used to define another copper damascene connector structure, overlying and contacting the MIM capacitor structure.

    摘要: A method for making low-resistance contacts between polycide layers for local interconnections is achieved. The method is particularly useful for making low contact resistance R.sub.c between the tungsten polycide layers for local interconnections on the periphery of the DRAM chip. A first polycide layer is patterned to form FET gate electrodes and portions of local interconnections. An interlevel dielectric layer is deposited over the patterned first polycide layer. Contact openings are etched in the dielectric layer to the surface of the substrate and to the first polycide layer. A second polycide layer is deposited and patterned to form bit lines in the memory cell areas of the DRAM, while concurrently forming local interconnections in the peripheral device areas. A high-temperature rapid thermal anneal (RTA) is carried out to substantially reduce the contact resistance in the contact openings over the first polycide layer in the peripheral areas. This RTA eliminates the need for overetching the first silicide in the contact holes, as commonly practiced in the prior art. The RTA of this invention with a traditional N.sub.2 anneal prior to the second polycide deposition results in a synergistic effect that further reduces the contact resistance R.sub.c.

First, use a first etchant and Ar to etch the passivation layer till the anti-reflective coating is exposed, the first thickness of the passivation layer above the anti-reflective coating is smaller than the second thickness of the passivation layer above the fuse. Then, utilize a second etchant to etch the anti-reflective coating till the metal layer is exposed. The second etchant has a selectivity ratio from the anti-reflective coating to the passivation layer being at least 10. The second etchant mentioned above includes BCl.sub.3, Cl.sub.2, O.sub.2, and Ar.

    摘要: A method for forming a field effect transistor device within a semiconductor product employs a patterned dummy layer first as an ion implantation mask layer when forming a pair of source/drain regions, and then as a mandrel layer for forming a pair of patterned sacrificial layers which define an aperture of linewidth and location corresponding to the patterned dummy layer. A pair of sacrificial spacer layers and a gate electrode are then formed self-aligned within the aperture. The pair of patterned sacrificial layers and the pair of sacrificial spacer layers are then stripped and the gate electrode is employed as a mask for ion implanting forming a pair of lightly doped extension regions partially overlapping the pair of source/drain regions within the semiconductor substrate.
