摘要:
A semiconductor processing method of forming a resistor from semiconductive material includes: a) providing a node to which electrical connection to a resistor is to be made; b) providing a first electrically insulative material outwardly of the node; c) providing an exposed vertical sidewall in the first electrically insulative material outwardly of the node; d) providing a second electrically insulative material outwardly of the first material and over the first material vertical sidewall, the first and second materials being selectively etchable relative to one another; e) anisotropically etching the second material selectively relative to the first material to form a substantially vertically extending sidewall spacer over the first material vertical sidewall and to outwardly expose the first material adjacent the sidewall spacer, the spacer having an inner surface and an outer surface; f) etching the first material selectively relative to the second material to outwardly expose at least a portion of the spacer outer surface; g) providing a conformal layer of a semiconductive material over the exposed outer spacer surface and over the inner spacer surface, the conformal layer making electrical connection with the node; and h) patterning the conformal layer into a desired resistor shape. SRAM and other integrated circuitry incorporating this and other resistors is disclosed.
摘要:
A trench for isolating active devices on a semiconductor substrate, formed by creating a trench which has a peripheral edge, and disposing an isolating material in the trench. The isolating material extends over the peripheral edge of the trench, thereby covering at least a portion of the substrate surrounding the trench, and substantially limiting leakage of the active devices disposed on the substrate.
摘要:
A semiconductor device isolation method of forming a channel stop in a semiconductor wafer comprises: a) selectively forming field oxide on a semiconductor wafer surface, the field oxide having a bird's beak region and a non-bird's beak region, the bird's beak region laterally extending into a desired region on the wafer; b) masking the bird's beak region and desired region; c) with the masking in place, ion implanting a selected material into the wafer through the non-bird's beak region of the field oxide to define a channel stop implant in the wafer under the non-bird's beak region of the field oxide, such non-bird's beak region implant being conducted at an implant angle along the bird's beak which is less than about 10.degree. from perpendicular relative to the wafer surface; and d) with the masking in place, ion implanting a selected material into the wafer through the bird's beak region of the field oxide to define a channel stop implant in the wafer under and along the bird's beak region of the field oxide, such bird's beak region implant being conducted at an implant angle along the bird' s beak region which is greater than about 10.degree. and less than about 40.degree. from perpendicular relative to the wafer surface.
