    摘要: Methods for forming notched gates and semiconductor devices utilizing the notched gates are provided. The methods utilize the formation of a dummy gate on a substrate. The dummy gate is etched to form notches in the dummy gate, and sidewall spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the notched dummy gate. The dummy gate is removed, and a notched gate is formed. The methods allow the height and depth of the notches to be independently controlled, and transistors having shorter channel lengths are formed.

    摘要: Methods of forming refractory metal silicide components are described. In accordance with one implementation, a refractory metal layer is formed over a substrate. A silicon-containing structure is formed over the refractory metal layer and a silicon diffusion restricting layer is formed over at least some of the silicon-containing structure. The substrate is subsequently annealed at a temperature which is sufficient to cause a reaction between at least some of the refractory metal layer and at least some of the silicon-containing structure to at least partially form a refractory metal silicide component. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a silicon diffusion restricting layer is formed over or within the refractory metal layer in a step which is common with the forming of the silicon diffusion restricting layer over the silicon-containing structure. In a preferred implementation, the silicon diffusion restricting layers are formed by exposing the substrate to nitridizing conditions which are sufficient to form a nitride-containing layer over the silicon-containing structure, and a refractory metal nitride compound within the refractory metal layer. A preferred refractory metal is titanium.

    摘要: A method of forming a local interconnect structure is provided. A first barrier layer comprising sputtered titanium nitride is formed over a topographical structure situated upon a field oxide region within a semiconductor substrate. A hard mask layer comprising tungsten silicide is formed over the first barrier layer. A photoresist layer is then formed over the hard mask layer. The hard mask layer is selectively removed from above an adjacent gate stack on the semiconductor substrate using an etch that is selective to the first barrier layer. The first barrier layer is selectively removed using an etch that is selective to the hard mask layer. A silica layer is formed over the hard mask layer. A recess is formed in the silica layer that is aligned with an active area within the semiconductor substrate. The recess is filled with an electrically conductive material. A second method of forming a local interconnect structure is provided comprising forming a first barrier layer comprising sputter titanium nitride over a semiconductor substrate having a topographical structure situated upon a field oxide region within the semiconductor substrate. A first electrically conductive layer comprising tungsten is then formed over the first barrier layer using chemical vapor deposition. The first electrically conductive layer provides good step coverage over the topographical structure. A second barrier layer comprising sputtered titanium nitride is formed over the first electrically conductive layer. A hard mask layer comprising polysilicon or silica is then formed over the second barrier layer. The hard mask is selectively removed from above an adjacent gate stack on the semiconductor substrate with an etch that is selective to the second barrier layer. The second barrier layer, the first conductive layer, and the first barrier layer are selectively removed, thereby exposing the underlying gate stack on the semiconductor substrate using a chemical etch selective to the hard mask layer. A silica layer is then formed with a recess therein that is filled with an electrically conductive material to form an active area contact through the local interconnect structure.

    摘要: Semiconductor memory devices having recessed access devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of forming the recessed access device includes forming a device recess in a substrate material that extends to a first depth in the substrate that includes a gate oxide layer in the recess. The device recess may be extended to a second depth that is greater that the first depth to form an extended portion of the device recess. A field oxide layer may be provided within an interior of the device recess that extends inwardly into the interior of the device recess and into the substrate. Active regions may be formed in the substrate that abut the field oxide layer, and a gate material may be deposited into the device recess.

    摘要: The invention includes methods of forming recessed access devices. A substrate is provided to have recessed access device trenches therein. A pair of the recessed access device trenches are adjacent one another. Electrically conductive material is formed within the recessed access device trenches, and source/drain regions are formed proximate the electrically conductive material. The electrically conductive material and source/drain regions together are incorporated into a pair of adjacent recessed access devices. After the recessed access device trenches are formed within the substrate, an isolation region trench is formed between the adjacent recessed access devices and filled with electrically insulative material to form a trenched isolation region.

    摘要: A method of depositing dielectric material into sub-micron spaces and resultant structures is provided. After a trench is etched in the surface of a wafer, a silicon nitride barrier is deposited into the trench. The silicon nitride layer has a high nitrogen content near the trench walls to protect the walls. The silicon nitride layer further from the trench walls has a low nitrogen content and a high silicon content, to allow improved adhesion. The trench is then filled with a spin-on precursor. A densification or reaction process is then applied to convert the spin-on material into an insulator. The resulting trench has a well-adhered insulator which helps the insulating properties of the trench.
