摘要:
A method of forming aluminum guard structures in copper interconnect structures, used to protect the copper interconnect structures from a laser write procedure, performed to an adjacent copper fuse element, has been developed. The method features forming guard structure openings in an upper level of the copper interconnect structures, in a region adjacent to a copper fuse element. Deposition and patterning of an aluminum layer result in the formation of aluminum guard structures, located in the guard structure openings. The aluminum guard structures protect the copper interconnect structures from the oxidizing and corrosive effects of oxygen, fluorine and water ions, which are generated during a laser write procedure, performed to the adjacent copper fuse element.
摘要:
A method for incorporating an ion implanted channel stop layer under field isolation for a twin-well CMOS process is described in which the layer is placed directly under the completed field isolation by a blanket boron ion implant over the whole wafer. The channel stop implant follows planarization of the field oxide and is thereby essentially at the same depth in both field and active regions. Subsequently implanted p- and n-wells are formed deeper than the channel stop layer, the n-well implant being of a sufficiently higher dose to over compensate the channel stop layer, thereby removing it's effect from the n-well. A portion of the channel stop implant under the field oxide adjacent the p-well provides effective anti-punchthrough protection with only a small increase in junction capacitance. The method is shown for, and is particularly effective in, processes utilizing shallow trench isolation.

A system and method for manufacturing multiple-gate semiconductor devices is disclosed. An embodiment comprises multiple fins, wherein intra-fin isolation regions extend into the substrate less than inter-fin isolation regions. Regions of the multiple fins not covered by the gate stack are removed and source/drain regions are formed from the substrate so as to avoid the formation of voids between the fins in the source/drain region.

A process for fabricating input/output, N channel, (I/O NMOS) devices, featuring an ion implanted nitrogen region, used to reduce hot carrier electron, (HEC), injection, has been developed. The process features implanting a nitorgen region, at the interface of an overlying silicon oxide layer, and an underlying lightly doped source/drain, (LDD), region. The implantation procedure can either be performed prior to, or after, the deposition of a silicon oxide liner layer, in both cases resulting in a desired nitrogen pile-up at the oxide-LDD interface, as well as resulting, in a more graded LDD profile. An increase in the time to fail, in regards to HCE injection, for these I/O NMOS devices, is realized, when compared to counterparts fabricated without the nitrogen implantation procedure.

摘要:
A new method for forming ultra-shallow junctions for PMOSFET while reducing short channel effects is described. A semiconductor substrate wafer is provided wherein there is at least one NMOS active area and at least one PMOS active area. Gate electrodes are formed in both the NMOS and PMOS areas. N-type source/drain extensions are implanted into the NMOS area. The wafer is annealed whereby the n-type source/drain extensions are driven in. Thereafter, p-type source/drain extensions are implanted in the PMOS area wherein the p-type source/drain extensions are not subjected to an annealing step. Spacers are formed on sidewalls of the NMOS and PMOS gate electrodes. Source/drain regions are implanted into the NMOS and PMOS areas wherein the source/drain regions are self-aligned to the spacers to complete formation of an integrated circuit device.
