Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an OTEPROM is described. A tunneling oxide layer, a first conductive layer, a first patterned mask layer are formed on a substrate. A trench is formed in the substrate. An insulating layer is formed to fill the trench. A portion of the first conductive layer destined to form the floating gate is exposed and then a cap layer is formed thereon. The first patterned mask layer is removed and then a second conductive layer and a second patterned mask layer are formed over the substrate. A word line and a floating gate are formed using the second patterned mask layer and the cap layer as a mask. The second patterned mask layer is removed and then source/drain regions are formed in the substrate on both sides of the word line and the floating gate and between the word line and the floating gate.
Abstract:
A method for forming MOSFET is disclosed. The method includes firstly providing a substrate, on which a gate without spacer is already formed. A first spacer is formed on sidewall of the gate, a lightly doped drain is subsequently formed in the substrate. Next, a second spacer is formed on the first spacer. Finally, a heavily doped drain is formed in the substrate. The present invention can enhance stability of resistance of the gate and reduce pollution of the machine. Therefore, quality and efficiency of the fabrication of MOSFET will be enhanced.
Abstract:
A method includes a self-aligned silicide (Salicide) technology in fabrication of an embedded dynamic random access memory (DRAM). On a silicon wafer, a first MOS transistor is formed in a logic device region, and second MOS transistor is formed in a memory device region. The improved method includes forming an insulating layer over the substrate at least covering the first (second) MOS transistor. A top portion of the insulating layer is removed to expose only a top portion of the first (second) gate structure. A portion of the insulating layer covering the first MOS transistor is removed to expose the first MOS transistor. Using the remaining insulating layer on the second MOS transistor as a mask, the Salicide fabrication process is performed to form a self-aligned silicide layer on the first interchangeable source/drain region, and the exposed top surface of the first (second) polysilicon gate structure.
Abstract:
A method of reducing the loss of metal silicide in pre-metal etching which includes the following steps. A polysilicon gate electrode and implanted source/drain electrodes are formed on a silicon substrate. A metal silicide layer is formed on the polysilicon gate electrode and the source/drain electrodes. On the surface of the substrate, the polysilicon gate electrode, the source-drain electrodes region and the metal silicide layer, a protecting glass for insulation is formed and then dry etched to form a contact window. The metal silicide layer will form a damaged metal silicide layer in the contact window. Thereafter, a thermal process is conducted to repair the damaged metal silicide layer and finally, pre-metal etching is conducted completing the process. Pursuant to this method, the extremely low resistance of the metal silicide remains.
