    摘要: A method for forming a transistor having low overlap capacitance by forming a microtrench at the gate edge to reduce effective dielectric constant is described. A gate electrode is provided overlying a gate dielectric layer on a substrate and having a hard mask layer thereover. An oxide layer is formed overlying the substrate. First spacers are formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode and overlying the oxide layer. Source/drain extensions are implanted. Second spacers are formed on the first spacers. Source/drain regions are implanted. A dielectric layer is deposited overlying the gate electrode and the oxide layer and planarized to the hard mask layer whereby the first and second spacers are exposed. The exposed second spacers and underlying oxide layer are removed. The exposed substrate underlying the second spacers is etched into to form a microtrench undercutting the gate oxide layer at an edge of the gate electrode. The microtrench is filled with an epitaxial oxide layer and planarized to the hard mask layer. The dielectric layer is patterned to form third spacers on the epitaxial oxide layer. The microtrench reduces the effective dielectric constant at the overlap between the gate and the source/drain extensions to complete formation of a transistor having low overlap capacitance.

    摘要: A method for forming a gate dielectric having regions with different dielectric constants. A dummy dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor structure. The dummy dielectric layer is patterned to form a gate opening. A high-K dielectric layer is formed over the dummy dielectric and in the gate opening. A low-K dielectric layer is formed on the high-K dielectric layer. Spacers are formed on the low-K dielectric layer at the edges of the gate opening. The low-K dielectric layer is removed from the bottom of the gate opening between the spacers. The spacers are removed to form a stepped gate opening. The stepped gate opening has both a high-K dielectric layer and a low-K dielectric layer on the sidewalls and at the edges of the bottom of the gate opening and only a high-k dielectric layer in the center of the bottom of the stepped gate opening. A gate electrode is formed in the stepped gate opening.

    摘要: A method for a T-gate and salicide process that allows narrow bottom gate widths below 0.25 &mgr;m and wide top gate widths to allow silicide gate contacts on the top of the T-gate. A dummy gate composed of an insulating material is formed over the substrate. Then we form LDD regions adjacent to the dummy gate preferably by ion implanting f (I/I) impurity ions into the substrate using the dummy gate as a mask. A pad oxide layer and dielectric layer are formed over the substrate surface. The dielectric layer over the dummy gate is removed preferably by a CMP process. We then remove the dummy gate to form a gate opening exposing the substrate surface. A gate dielectric layer is formed over the substrate surface in the gate opening. We form a polysilicon layer over the dielectric layer and the substrate surface in the gate opening. The polysilicon layer is patterned to form a T-gate. The dielectric layer is removed. We forming source/drain (S/D) regions adjacent to the T-gate by an Ion implant process. A silicide layer is formed over the T-gate and the substrate to form silicide contacts to the SID regions and gate contacts to the T-gate. Then we form a dielectric layer (ILD) over the T-gate and substrate. We form contact opening through the dielectric layer to expose the S/D regions and T-gate. We form contacts to the S/D regions and to the T-gate.

A wafer having a first implanted region selected from the group comprising a source region and a drain region is provided. The wafer further includes STI areas on either side of a center transistor area. The wafer is patterned down to the first implanted region to form a vertical pillar within the center transistor area using a patterned hardmask. The vertical pillar having side walls. A pad dielectric layer is formed over the wafer, lining the vertical pillar. A nitride layer is formed over the pad dielectric layer. The structure is patterned and etched through the nitride layer and the pad dielectric layer; and into the wafer within the STI areas to form STI trenches within the wafer. The STI trenches are filled with insulative material to form STIs within STI trenches. The patterned nitride and pad dielectric layers are removed. The patterned hardmask is removed. Gate oxide is grown over the exposed portions of the wafer and the vertical pillar. Spacer gates are formed over the gate oxide lined side walls of the vertical pillar. Spacer gate implants are formed within the spacer gates, and a second implanted region is formed within the vertical pillar selected from the group consisting of a drain region and a source region that is not the same as the first implanted region to complete formation of the isolated vertical transistor.
