A process for making CMOS device wherein the N-channel devices have n+ gates, and the P-channel devices have p+ gates. A TiN local interconnect system is used to connect the two types of gates, as well as providing connections to moat. A titanium nitride layer may be formed by depositing titanium metal everywhere, and then heating the integrated circuit structure in a nitrogen atmosphere. This process may also be used with other refractory metal nitride interconnect layers. In addition to titanium based thin film compositions, other metals can be substituted and used for direct-react silicidation and simultaneous formation of a conductive nitride to form local interconnects, including molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, cobalt, and others.

A MOS bulk device having source/drain-contact regions 36 which are almost completely isolated by a dielectric 35. These "source/drain" regions 36 are formed by using a silicon etch to form a recess, lining the etched recess with oxide, and backfilling with polysilicon. A short isotropic oxide etch, followed by a polysilicon filament deposition, then makes contact between the oxide-isolated source/drain-contact regions 36 and the channel region 33 of the active device. Outdiffusion through the small area of this contact will form small diffusions 44 in silicon, which act as the electrically effective source/drain regions. Use of sidewall nitride filaments 30 on the gate permits the silicon etch step to be self-aligned.
摘要:
A local interconnect system for VLSI integrated circuits. After titanium is deposited for self-aligned silicidation of exposed moat and gate regions in a nitrogen atmosphere, a hardmask is deposited and patterned over the titanium. When a conductive titanium nitride layer is formed overall, it will already be patterned according to this hardmask.

A method for fabricating an anti-fuse cell using an undoped polysilicon film as a mask in defining the anti-fuse window is described. A layer of silicon oxide is provided over the surface of a semiconductor substrate. A first undoped polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the silicon oxide layer. The first undoped polysilicon layer is covered with a photoresist layer patterned to form a mask. The first undoped polysilicon layer and a portion of the silicon oxide layer are etched away where they are not covered by the mask to form a cell opening. The mask and the remaining silicon oxide within the cell opening are removed. An insulating layer is deposited over the surface of the first undoped polysilicon layer and within the cell opening. A second polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the insulating layer and doped. The second polysilicon layer is patterned to form an anti-fuse cell. Gate electrodes and source and drain regions are formed completing the fabrication of the integrated circuit device.

A mask is used for lightly doped drain and halo implants in an integrated circuit device. The mask exposes only portions of the substrate adjacent to field effect transistor gate electrodes. Since the halo implant is made only near the transistor channels, where it performs a useful function, adequate device reliability and performance is obtained. Since the halo implant is masked from those portions of the active regions for which it is not necessary, active region junction capacitances are lowered. Such lowered capacitances result in an improved transistor switching speed. The mask used to define the lightly doped drain and halo implant region can be easily formed from a straight forward combination of already existing gate and active area geometries.

A method is provided for depositing aluminum thin film layers to form contacts in a semiconductor integrated circuit device. All or some of the deposition process occurs at relatively low deposition rates at a temperature which allows improved surface migration of the deposited aluminum atoms. Aluminum deposited under these conditions tends to fill contact vias without the formation of voids. The low temperature deposition step can be initiated by depositing aluminum while a wafer containing the integrated circuit device is being heated from cooler temperatures within the deposition chamber.
摘要:
A method for fabricating an improved connection between active device regions in silicon, to an overlying metallization level, has been developed. The method produces contacts with superior and improved barrier integrity, which permits silicon device exposure to extended thermal process times and/or higher temperature processes without metal penetration into the silicon contact junction regions. The critical element is the addition of a conformal CVD tungsten layer in the multilayer barrier structure.
