    摘要: A structure for improving latch-up immunity and interwell isolation in a semiconductor device is provided. In one embodiment, a substrate has an upper surface and a first dopant region formed therein. The first dopant region has a lower boundary located below an upper surface of the substrate and a side boundary extending from the upper surface of the substrate to the lower boundary of the first dopant region. A heavily doped region having a first portion and a second portion located along the lower boundary and the side boundary of the first dopant region, respectively, has a substantially uniform dopant concentration greater than a dopant concentration of the first dopant region. The heavily doped region improves latch-up immunity and interwell isolation without degrading threshold voltage tolerance.

    摘要: First and second conductivity type regions are produced in a polysilicon layer using only a single masking step. In one embodiment, the polysilicon layer is doped to a first conductivity type. A first oxide layer is then formed and patterned over the polysilicon layer to cover a first region and expose a second region of the polysilicon layer. The exposed second region of the polysilicon layer is then counter-doped, with the first oxide layer acting as a mask to prevent counter-doping of the underlying first region of the polysilicon layer. In accordance with the present invention, n-channel devices with n-type or p-type polysilicon gates and p-channel devices with p-type or n-type polysilicon gates can be formed without having to add a single process step. Thus, n-channel and p-channel devices with two different threshold voltages can be realized without adding a single process step.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a CMOS structure using a single masking step to define lightly-doped source and drain regions for both N- and P-channel devices. The process forms disposable spacers adjacent to gate structures and at least one retrograde well. Retrograde wells are formed using one or more charged ions at different energy levels. In addition, heavily-doped source and drain regions are formed using blanket implants of two different conductivities into a semiconductor substrate having two contiguous wells of opposite conductivity type. By blanket implanting a first dopant into both wells, and then selectively implanting a second dopant, the diffusion of the second dopant is partially suppressed by the first dopant. The partial suppression of first dopant results in shallow implants being formed. Also disclosed is a process for forming contact openings and contact implants.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and computer program products for modeling integrated circuits having dense devices therein that experience linewidth (e.g., gate electrodes) reductions during fabrication are provided. For dense devices having electrical paths therein and first and second gate electrodes that overlie the electrical path, operations include determining an electrical gate length of the first gate electrode by evaluating a change in current through the electrical path relative to a change in gate length of the second gate electrode. The operation to determine the electrical gate length of the first gate electrode includes evaluating a change in simulated drain-to-source current through the electrical path relative to a change in the electrical gate length of the second gate electrode.

Then, an ambient gas comprising N2O and an inert gas such as argon or N2 is introduced into the process chamber. Next, the silicon surface is heated to a predefined process temperature, thereby oxidizing at least a portion of the silicon surface. Finally, the semiconductor substrate is cooled. An ultra-thin oxide layer with uniform oxide characteristics, such as more boron penetration resistance, good oxide composition and thickness uniformity, increased charge to breakdown voltage in the oxide layer, can be formed.

    摘要: A method of improving latch-up immunity and interwell isolation in a semiconductor device is provided. In one embodiment, an implant mask which has a variable permeability to implanted impurities is formed on the surface of a substrate having a first dopant region. A first portion of the implant mask overlies a first portion of the first dopant region. The structure is subjected to high energy implantation which forms a heavily doped region. A first portion of the heavily doped region is located along the lower boundary of the first dopant region. A second portion of the heavily doped region which extends along a side boundary of the first dopant region is formed by impurity ions which pass through the first portion of the implant mask. The heavily doped region improves latch-up immunity and interwell isolation without degrading threshold voltage tolerance. In alternative embodiments, one variable permeability mask is used to form the first dopant region and also to form the heavily doped region continuous with the first dopant region.
