    摘要: A method for eliminating the peeling of polycide at the edge of a wafer used to fabricate semi-conductors and integrated circuits. A global rough surface is formed on the wafer. The rough surface on the substrate wafer releases most of the thermal stress between the silicide and polysilicon layers which are found in conventional devices. A "peel free" surface results and the particle problem is lessened.

    摘要: A low leakage charge pumping (CP) method has been implemented for direct determination of interface traps in ultra-short gate length MOS devices with ultra-thin gate oxide in the direct tunneling regime. The leakage current in a 12 Å-16 Å gate oxide can be removed from the measured CP current, which enables accurate determination of the interface traps. This method has been demonstrated successfully for variousRTNO grown and RPN treated oxide CMOS devices with very thin gate oxide. It can be used as a good monitor of ultra-thin gate oxide process and the evaluations of device reliabilities in relation to the interface trap generation. In addition, the current method can be used to determine the physical channel length of CMOS devices.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a salicide gate is provided, wherein a logic region and a memory cell region are formed on a substrate. A plurality of polysilicon gates and adjoining source/drain regions are also formed in both regions. A protection layer is formed to cover the polysilicon gates and the source/drain regions, followed by forming a photoresist layer on the substrate. A blanket defocus exposure is then conducted, whereby a part of the protection layer on the top surface of the polysilicon gates in both regions is eventually removed. Another photoresist layer is formed in the memory cell region, while the protection layer in the logic region is removed. A self-aligned silicide process is then conducted to form the salicide gates in both regions, and to selectively forming salicide layers on the source/drain regions in the logic region only.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of forming a lower electrode of a capacitor on a DRAM cell in a semiconductor wafer for increasing a surface area of the lower electrode. It is achieved by forming a second dielectric layer on a first polysilicon layer which comprises a plurality of doped horizontal layers along a vertical direction. Because dopant densities of the doped horizontal layers alternate in a high and low sequence, when forming a second polysilicon layer on the second dielectric layer, the second polysilicon layer will have many hemispherical grains on the vertical side wall of the second dielectric layer. This will result in an increased surface area of the lower electrode.

    摘要: A method is provided for forming self-aligned silicide in integrated circuit, which can help prevent the occurrence of a bridging effect in the integrated circuit. This method is characterized in the provision of an elevated spacer structure that can act like a barrier to prevent the occurrence of a bridging effect between the polysilicon gate and the source/drain regions caused by the forming of undesired silicide over the spacer structure due to lateral diffusion of the silicide from the polysilicon gate. Moreover, this method is characterized in the use of two different materials to respectively form the sacrificial layer and the field oxide layers, thus allowing the field oxide layers to remain substantially intact during the removal of the sacrificial layer through etching. This feature can help prevent the occurrence of leakage current from the metal plug to the substrate.

    摘要: A method for increasing landing pad area is disclosed. Firstly, providing a fundamental structure, wherein shallow trench isolation (STI) is used and acting as an electrical isolation inside of substrate. Moreover, there are at least two gates with an isolation layer on top of the substrate and covered with a dielectric layer. Between the neighboring gates there is a contact hole that penetrates the dielectric layer from the top of the dielectric layer to the substrate. Taking this fundamental structure as the starting point for forming a conductor within the contact hole. Etching back the dielectric layer and exposing its top surface and a portion of sidewalls. Finally, a protection layer on top of the exposed portion of sidewalls of the conductor is formed in order to expand the landing pad area. After all, one would still be able to increase the landing pad area even though the distance between two gates is rather small. This method can solve all the puzzles caused by alignment accuray shift during post-process.

    摘要: A method is provided for use on a DRAM (dynamic random access memory) device for forming a data storage capacitor with a wide electrode area, and thus a high capacitance, for the DRAM device. The high capacitance allows the data storage capacitor to preserve high data retaining capability when the DRAM device is downsized for high integration. The method is characterized in the forming of silicon-nitride based sidewall spacers and polysilicon-based sidewall spacers in openings formed in oxide layers that allows the subsequently formed contact window to be narrowed to a reduced width, thereby preventing the subsequent etching process to damage the nearby polysilicon-based bit lines and gate electrodes due to misalignment in the etching. Moreover, the method allows the resultant data storage capacitor to have a wide electrode area that helps increase the capacitance thereof, thereby allowing the DRAM device to preserve a high and reliable data retaining capability to the data stored therein.
