摘要:
A mixed voltage circuit is formed by providing a substrate (12) having a first region (20) for forming a first device (106), a second region (22) for forming a second device (108) complementary to the first device (106), and a third region (24) for forming a third device (110) that operates at a different voltage than the first device (106). A gate layer (50) is formed outwardly of the first, second, and third regions (20, 22, 24). While maintaining a substantially uniform concentration of a dopant type (51) in the gate layer (50), a first gate electrode (56) is formed in the first region (20), a second gate electrode (58) is formed in the second region (22), and a third gate electrode (60) is formed in the third region (24). The third region (24) is protected while implanting dopants (72) into the first region (20) to form source and drain features (74) for the first device (106). The first region (20) is protected while implanting dopants (82) into the third region (24) to form disparate source and drain features (84) for the third device (110).

A method for manufacturing a transistor includes providing a transistor assembly having a semiconductor layer with a first surface, a dielectric layer disposed on the first surface, a gate electrode disposed on the dielectric layer, an insulation layer adjacent at least part of the gate electrode, and a nitride spacer layer adjacent at least part of the insulation layer. The method also includes depositing, on part of the first surface, a material that will react with the semiconductor layer to form silicide and removing the unreacted material. The method further includes etching the nitride spacer layer, depositing a pre-metal spacer layer adjacent at least part of the nitride spacer layer and at least part of the first surface, etch removing a portion of the pre-metal spacer layer to expose part of the silicided portion of the first surface, and forming a contact with the silicided portion of the first surface.

摘要:
An enlarged contact area (62, 162) is formed for a gate structure (14, 114) by providing a substrate (12, 112) having at least one gate electrode (22, 122) thereon. An implant sidewall (42, 142) is formed outwardly from the gate electrode (22, 122) and defines an implant area (44, 144) in the substrate (12, 112). A terminal (50, 150) is formed for the gate electrode (22, 122) by implanting dopants (46, 146) into the implant area (44, 144) in the substrate (12, 112). The implant sidewall (42, 142) is removed and an insulative sidewall (60, 160) is formed outwardly from the gate electrode (22, 122). The insulative sidewall (60, 160) has a thickness less than that of the implant sidewall (42, 142) to define an enlarged contact area (62, 162) for the terminal (50, 150).

摘要:
Transistors may be fabricated by isolating a first region (16) of a semiconductor layer from a second region (18) of the semiconductor layer (12). A first disposable gate structure (26) of the first transistor may be formed over the first region (16) of the semiconductor layer (12). A second disposable gate structure (28) of the second, complementary transistor may be formed over the second region (18) of the semiconductor layer (12). A capping layer (60) may be formed over the first and second regions (16, 18) including the first and second disposable gate structures (26, 28). A portion (62, 64) of the first and second disposable gate structures (26, 28) may be exposed through the capping layer (60). A second disposable gate cap (66) may be formed over the exposed portion (64) of the second disposable gate structure (28) and at least part of the first disposable gate structure (26) removed. A first gate structure (70) of the first transistor may be formed in the place of removed part of the first disposable gate structure. In one embodiment, a second gate structure (80) of the second transistor may comprise the second disposable gate structure (28). In another embodiment, a first disposable gate cap (76) may be formed over the exposed portion (78) of the first gate structure and the second disposable gate cap (66) over the second disposable gate structure (28) may be removed. The second gate structure (80) of the second transistor may then be formed in the place of the removed second disposable gate structure (28).

摘要:
A method of forming a plurality of shallow junction transistors, the method comprising the steps of providing a substrate (10) having a first region (13) and a second region (15). The first region (13) and the second region (15) include a first channel region (14) and a second channel region (16), respectively. A first gate (22) is formed proximate the first channel region (14) and is separated from the substrate (10) by a portion of a primary insulation layer (20). A second gate (24) is formed proximate the second channel region (16) and is separated from the substrate by a portion of the primary insulation layer (20). A dopant layer (34) is then formed outwardly of the substrate (10) proximate the first region (13) and the second region (15). The dopant layer (34) proximate the first region (13) is implanted with a first dopant (40). The dopant layer (34) proximate the second region (15) is implanted with a second dopant (48). A portion of the first dopant (40) in the dopant layer (34) is diffused into the substrate (10) proximate the first region (13) to form a first shallow doped region (50), and a portion of the second dopant (48) in the dopant layer (34) is diffused into the substrate (10) proximate the second region (15) to form a second shallow doped region (52). The first shallow doped region (50) may form a source and a drain for a first shallow junction transistor (54) and the second shallow doped region (52) may form a source and a drain for a second shallow junction transistor (55).
摘要:
Method of making transistors having ultrashallow source and drain junction with reduced gate overlap may comprise forming a first gate electrode (124) separated from a first active area (126) of a semiconductor layer (112) by a first gate insulator (130). A second gate electrode (140) may be formed substantially perpendicular to the first gate electrode (124) and separated from a second active area (142) of the semiconductor layer by a second gate insulator (146). A masking layer (160) may be formed over the semiconductor layer (112) and expose a source and a drain section (162 and 164) of the first active area (126) and a source and a drain section (166 and 168) of the second active area (142). Dopants may be implanted from a first direction substantially parallel to the first gate electrode (124) into the source and drain sections (166 and 168) of the first active area (126). The dopants are implanted in the first direction at an angle at which the masking layer (160) blocks entry of the dopants into the source and drain sections (166 and 168) of the second active area (142). Dopants may be implanted from a second direction substantially parallel to the second gate electrode (140) and perpendicular to the first direction into the source and drain sections (166 and 168) of the second active area (142). The dopants are implanted in the second direction at an angle at which the masking layer (160) blocks entry of the dopants into the source and drain sections (162 and 164) of the first active area (126).
