    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a gate dielectric formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack formed within a recess. Amorphous silicon is deposited on the gate dielectric within the recess and a metal is deposited on the amorphous silicon. An annealing process forms a metal silicide gate within the recess on the gate dielectric. A wider range of metal materials can be selected because the gate dielectric formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack remains stable during the silicidation process. The metal silicide gate significantly reduces the sheet resistance between the gate and gate terminal.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a chemical vapor deposited layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. The metal is then deposited on the CVD amorphous silicon layer. An annealing process forms silicide in the gate, with a layer of silicon remaining unreacted. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the CVD amorphous silicon layer.

    摘要: Deleterious roughness of metal silicide/doped Si interfaces arising during conventional salicide processing for forming shallow-depth source and drain junction regions of MOS transistors and/or CMOS devices due to poor compatibility of particular dopants and metal suicides is avoided, or at least substantially reduced, by implanting a first (main) dopant species having relatively good compatibility with the metal silicide, such that the maximum concentration thereof is at a depth above the depth to which silicidation reaction occurs and implanting a second (auxiliary) dopant species having relatively poor compatibility with the metal silicide, wherein the maximum concentration thereof is less than that of the first (main) dopant and is at a depth below the depth to which silicidation reaction occurs. The invention enjoys particular utility in forming NiSi layers on As-doped Si substrates.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the formation of a metal device feature layer using lithographic techniques, followed by an oxidation process to reduce the lateral dimension of the metal device feature. The oxidation process is carried out by selectively, laterally oxidizing the metal composition of the device feature that overlies a dielectric layer. The lateral oxidation process forms metal oxide sidewall spacers on the device feature. Upon completion of the oxidation process, the metal oxide sidewall spacers are removed and a residual layer of unoxidized metal remains. The lateral dimension of the residual layer can be substantially less than that achievable by optical lithographic techniques.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a non-volatile memory device includes the step of forming a nitrogen region in a semiconductor substrate prior to carrying out a thermal oxidation process to form a tunnel oxide layer. In a preferred process, nitrogen atoms are ion implanted into a silicon substrate to form a nitrogen region at the substrate surface. Then, a thermal oxidation process is carried out to grow a thin tunnel oxide layer overlying the surface of the nitrogen region. During the oxidation process, nitrogen is incorporated into the growing tunnel oxide layer. A floating-gate electrode is formed overlying the tunnel oxide layer and receives electrical charge transferred from a charge control region of the substrate through the tunnel oxide layer. The tunnel oxide layer is capable of undergoing repeated programming and erasing operations while exhibiting reduced effects from stress induced current leakage. In another aspect of the invention, an MOS transistor having enhanced carrier mobility is obtained by forming a gate oxide layer over a nitrogen region of a silicon substrate. The thermal oxidation process of the invention also provides both tunnel oxide layers and gate oxide layers having a reduced thickness for a given set of thermal oxidation conditions.

    摘要: A programmable device with a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) surrounded by a programmable substrate region is described. The MOSFET has a source and drain region separated by a channel region with an insulating region and gate disposed above the channel region. A junction disposed within the substrate region controls the programmable substrate region. Biasing the junction depletes the substrate region, which isolates the body of the MOSFET from a secondary well. When the junction is left unbiased, the body of the MOSFET is electrically coupled to the secondary well.
