摘要:
An etch-stop layer is selectively provided between layers of a multiple-layered circuit in a selective manner so as to allow for outgassing of impurities during subsequent fabrication processes. The etch-stop layer is formed over an underlying stud so as to serve as an alignment target during formation of an overlying stud formed in an upper layer. In this manner multiple-layered circuits, for example memory devices, can be fabricated in relatively dense configurations.

A ferroelectric random access memory device of the present invention includes an access transistor having a gate connected to a word line and a current path connected between a bit line and an internal cell node. A ferroelectric capacitor is connected between the internal cell node and a plate line. A reference voltage generator for generating a reference voltage includes a linear paraelectric capacitor. Data stored in the ferroelectric capacitor is sensed by activating the word line so as to connect the ferroelectric capacitor to the bit line. The plate line is then activated and simultaneously the reference capacitor is connected to a complementary bit line. After a voltage difference between the bit line and the complementary bit line is detected, the reference capacitor is insulated from the complementary bit line.

A method for fabricating a capacitor of a semiconductor device, and a capacitor made in accordance with the method are disclosed. The method includes forming a plate electrode polysilicon layer on a semiconductor substrate having a cell array region and a core/peripheral circuit region. The plate electrode polysilicon layer in the cell array region is patterned to form an opening, wherein the inner wall of the opening is used as a plate electrode. After forming a dielectric layer in the opening, a storage node is formed as a spacer on the dielectric layer on the inner wall of the opening. The plate electrode polysilicon layer in the core/peripheral circuit region remains to provide the same height between the cell array region where the cell capacitor is formed and the core/peripheral circuit region.

A nonvolatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having a first well region of a first conductivity type, and at least one semiconductor layer formed on the semiconductor substrate. A first cell array is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a second cell array formed on the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer includes a second well region of the first conductivity type having a doping concentration greater than a doping concentration of the first well region of the first conductivity type. As the doping concentration of the second well region is increased, a resistance difference may be reduced between the first and second well regions.

An improved source/drain junction configuration in a metal-oxide semiconductor transistor is provided, as well as a novel method for fabricating this junction. This configuration employs gate double sidewall spacers in the peripheral region and gate single sidewall spacers in the cell array region. The double sidewall spacers are advantageously formed to suppress the short channel effect, to prevent current leakage, and to reduce sheet resistance. The insulating layer used to form the second spacers in the peripheral region remains in the cell array region and serves as an etching stopper during the etching step of interlayer insulating layer for contact opening formation and also serves as a barrier layer during the step of silicidation formation. As a result the fabrication process of the resulting device is simplified.
