    摘要: Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming a gate electrode on a substrate and forming a nitride layer on a sidewall and upper surface of the gate electrode. The nitride layer is then anisotropically oxidized under conditions that cause a first portion of the nitride layer extending on the upper surface of the gate electrode to be more heavily oxidized relative to a second portion of the nitride layer extending on the sidewall of the gate electrode. A ratio of a thickness of an oxidized first portion of the nitride layer relative to a thickness of an oxidized second portion of the nitride layer may be in a range from about 3:1 to about 7:1.

    摘要: Disclosed are a variety of methods for increasing the relative thickness in the peripheral or edge regions of gate dielectric patterns to suppress leakage through these regions. The methods provide alternatives to conventional GPOX processes and provide the improved leakage resistance without incurring the degree of increased gate electrode resistance associated with GPOX processes. Each of the methods includes forming a first opening to expose an active area region, forming an oxidation control region on the exposed portion and then forming a second opening whereby a peripheral region free of the oxidation control region is exposed for formation of a gate dielectric layer. The resulting gate dielectric layers are characterized by a thinner central region surrounded or bounded by a thicker peripheral region.

    摘要: An integrated circuit of a semiconductor device has a line type of pattern that is not prone to serious RC delays. The integrated circuit has a line formed of at least a layer of polycrystalline silicon, a layer of metal having a low sheet resistance, and a layer of a barrier metal interposed between the polycrystalline silicon and the metal having a low sheet resistance, and first spacers disposed on the sides of the line, respectively, and is characterized in that the line has recesses at the sides of the barrier layer and the first spacers fill the recesses. The integrated circuit may constitute a gate line of a semiconductor device. The integrated circuit is formed by forming layers of polycrystalline silicon, metal having a low sheet resistance, and a barrier metal one atop the other, patterning the layers into a line, etching the same to form the recesses, and then forming the first spacers. The etching is preferably a process of etching the barrier layer in situ using an etchant having an etch selectivity between the material of the barrier layer and the materials constituting the other layers of the line.
