摘要:
A method for implanting diffusion regions during production of MOS transistors involves first patterning and etching a gate to produce a resist overhang covering at least one edge of the gate. Primary dopant is then implanted in the substrate to produce a first diffusion region having at least one boundary partially defined by the resist overhang covering the gate. By isotropically etching the resist on the gate, the gate itself is used as a mask during subsequent implantation of a halo diffusion region. The size of both the first diffusion region and the halo diffusion region is subsequently adjusted by annealing.

A stacked v-cell (SVC) capacitor using a modified stacked capacitor storage cell fabrication process. The SVC capacitor is made up of polysilicon structure, having a v-shaped cross-section, located at a buried contact and extending to an adjacent storage node overlaid by polysilicon with a dielectric sandwiched in between. The addition of the polysilicon structure increases storage capability 70% without enlarging the surface area defined for a normal stacked capacitor cell.

A DRAM cell having a doped monocrystalline silicon substrate for the cell's lower capacitor plate whose surface has been texturized multiple times to enhance cell capacitance. After texturization, a thin silicon nitride layer is deposited on top of the texturized substrate, followed by the deposition of a poly layer, which functions as the cell's upper, or field, capacitor plate. The nitride layer, conformal and thin compared to the surface texture of the mono substrate, transfers the texture of the substrate to the cell plate layer. The effective capacitor plate area is substantially augmented, resulting in a cell capacitance increase of at least approximately fifty percent compared to a conventional planar cell utilizing identical wafer area. The substrate is texturized by texturizing a thin polycrystalline silicon (poly) starter layer that has been deposited on top of the substrate by using an anisotropic etch or wet oxidation step, and then allowing the poly starter layer to be consumed, transferring the texture created on the poly starter layer to the underlying substrate. By subjecting the starter layer to either an etch or an oxidation step, atoms at the grain boundaries of the starter layer react more rapidly, thus establishing the texturization pattern. Once established, the starter layer's texturization pattern is transferred to the monocrystalline silicon surface by either etching or oxidizing the starter layer. Performing this texturization process multiple times produces greater texturization due to the consumption of the successive poly starter layers along their respective, uniquely superimposed grain boundaries.

摘要:
A process for fabricating a stacked capacitor for use in monolithic integrated circuits using oxygen implantation. This invention provides a relatively simple process for manufacturing stacked capacitors having two series of interleaved plates. The process is unique, in that rather than requiring the use of a different material for each series of conductive plates, utilizes polycrystalline silicon for both series. The process proceeds with the deposition of alternating dielectric and polycrystalline silicon ("poly") layers, beginning and ending with a dielectric layer. Each poly layer is masked with photoresist, implanted with oxygen in unmasked regions, and then thermally annealed to convert all silicon in the unmasked regions into silicon dioxide. Each non-implanted poly region is horizontally offset from the non-implanted poly regions of the nearest superjacent and subjacent poly layers, which are, themselves, horizontally aligned. The resulting layer stack is masked and anisotropically etched, stopping on the bottom dielectric layer, to form a block of stacked layers, one vertical side of which comprises unoxidized edges of even numbered poly layers and oxidized edges of odd numbered poly layers, and a second vertical side of which comprises unoxidized edges of odd numbered poly layers and oxidized edges of even numbered poly layers. A tying layer is then blanket deposited over the block, masked and etched so that the unoxidized edges of even numbered poly layers are electrically connected by one a first typing layer remnant, while the oxidized edges of odd numbered poly layers are electrically connected by a second tying layer remnant.
