    摘要: A buried contact junction is described. A gate silicon oxide layer is provided over the surface of a semiconductor substrate. A polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the gate oxide layer. A hard mask layer is deposited overlying the polysilicon layer. The hard mask and polysilicon layers are etched away where they are not covered by a mask to form a polysilicon gate electrode and interconnection lines wherein gaps are left between the gate electrode and interconnection lines. A layer of dielectric material is deposited over the semiconductor substrate to fill the gaps. The hard mask layer is removed. The polysilicon layer is etched away where it is not covered by a buried contact mask to form an opening to the semiconductor substrate. Ions are implanted to form the buried contact. A refractory metal layer is deposited overlying the buried contact and the polysilicon gate electrode and interconnection lines and planarized to form polycide gate electrodes and interconnection lines. The dielectric material layer is removed. An oxide layer is deposited and anisotropically etched to leave spacers on the sidewalls of the polycide gate electrodes and interconnection lines to complete the formation of a buried contact junction in the fabrication of an integrated circuit.

    摘要: Within a method for fabricating a microelectronic fabrication there is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a microelectronic device. There is then formed over the microelectronic device a passivating dielectric layer formed from a passivating dielectric material selected from the group consisting of fluorosilicate glass (FSG) passivating dielectric materials, atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposited (APCVD) passivating dielectric materials, subatmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposited (SACVD) passivating dielectric materials and spin-on-glass (SOG) passivating dielectric materials to form from the microelectronic device a passivated microelectronic device. Finally, there is then annealed thermally, while employing a thermal annealing method employing an atmosphere comprising hydrogen, the passivated microelectronic device to form a stabilized passivated microelectronic device. The method is a “pure H2 (100%)” alloy recipe to use after contact opening or metal-1 formation.

    摘要: This invention relates to the characterization of integrated circuit devices and more particularly to an improved method for monitoring for unacceptable kink behavior, in the threshold voltage characteristics of FET devices, that can be caused by a tendency for reduced gate oxide thickness and reduced substrate doping concentration, along the length of channel regions bounded by STI. This is achieved by comparing a pair of drain current versus gate voltage characteristics, as a function of two values of substrate voltage. Relative voltage shifts between the two curves are compared at a value of drain current that is well below the kink and at a value of drain current that is well above the kink. The quantitative degree of kink behavior is determined by how much greater the voltage shift, corresponding to the value of drain current well above the kink, exceeds the voltage shift, corresponding to the value of drain current well below the kink.
