A method of controlling the quantity and uniformity of distribution of bonded oxygen atoms at the interface between the polysilicon and the monocrystalline silicon includes carrying out, after having loaded the wafer inside the heated chamber of the reactor and evacuated the chamber of the LPCVD reactor under nitrogen atmosphere, a treatment of the wafer with hydrogen at a temperature generally between 500 and 1200° C. and at a vacuum generally between 0.1 Pa and 60000 Pa. The treatment is performed at a time generally between 0.1 and 120 minutes, to remove any and all the oxygen that may have combined with the silicon on the surface of the monocrystalline silicon during the loading inside the heated chamber of the reactor even if it is done under a nitrogen flux. After such a hydrogen treatment, another treatment is carried out substantially under the same vacuum conditions and at a temperature generally between 700 and 1000° C. with nitrogen protoxide (N2O) for a time generally between 0.1 and 120 minutes.
摘要:
Deep profile and highly doped impurity regions can be formed by diffusing from a solid source or doped silicon glass and using a patterned nitride layer. An oxide etch stop and polysilicon sacrificial layer are left in place in the patterned regions and the dopant is diffused through those layers. The polysilicon provides sacrificial silicon that serves to prevent the formation of boron silicon nitride on the substrate surface and also protects the oxide layer during etching of the silicon glass layer. The oxide layer then acts as an etch stop during removal of the polysilicon layer. In this way, no damage done to the substrate surface during the diffusion or subsequent etch steps and the need for expensive ion implanter steps is avoided.

A method of making an IGFET using solid phase diffusion is disclosed. The method includes providing a device region in a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate insulator on the device region, forming a gate on the gate insulator, forming an insulating layer over the gate and the device region, forming a heavily doped diffusion source layer over the insulating layer, and driving a dopant from the diffusion source layer through the insulating layer into the gate and the device region by solid phase diffusion, thereby heavily doping the gate and forming a heavily doped source and drain in the device region. Preferably, the gate and diffusion source layer are polysilicon, the gate insulator and insulating layer are silicon dioxide, the dopant is boron or boron species, and the dopant provides essentially all P-type doping for the gate, source and drain, thereby providing shallow channel junctions and reducing or eliminating boron penetration from the gate into the substrate.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a dopant region is disclosed. The dopant region is formed by providing a semiconductor substrate that has a surface. An electrically insulating intermediate layer is applied to the surface. A doped semiconductor layer is then applied to the electrically insulating intermediate layer, the semiconductor layer being of a first conductivity type and contains a dopant of the first conductivity type. A temperature treatment of the semiconductor substrate at a predefined diffusion temperature is performed, so that the dopant diffuses partially out of the semiconductor layer through the intermediate layer into the semiconductor substrate and forms there a dopant region of the first conductivity type. The electrical conductivity of the intermediate layer is modified, so that an electrical contact between the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor layer is produced through the intermediate layer.
摘要:
A semiconductor process in which the transistor channel is defined by opposing sidewalls of a pair of masking structures formed on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate. The spacing between the opposed sidewalls is defined by the thickness of the spacer structure formed between the sidewalls. The thickness of the spacer structure is preferably in the range of approximately 0.04 microns. A masking layer is formed on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate. The masking layer includes first and second masking structures and a channel trench material. Opposing sidewalls of the first and second masking structures are laterally displaced by a channel displacement. The opposing sidewalls together with an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate define a channel trench. The channel trench is displaced above and aligned with a channel region of the semiconductor substrate. The channel trench material fills the channel trench. A mean projected path characteristic of the channel trench material is less than a mean projected path characteristic of the first and second masking structures. A source/drain impurity distribution is implanted into and through the masking layer to selectively introduce a source/drain impurity distribution into a source/drain region of the semiconductor substrate. The source/drain regions of the semiconductor substrate are laterally displaced on either side of the channel region. The channel trench material is then removed and a gate dielectric layer is formed on the floor of the channel trench. Thereafter, the channel trench is filled with a conductive material to form a conductive gate on the gate dielectric.

A method of fabricating a MOS device having a gate-side air-gap structure is provided. A nitride spacer for reserving space of the air gap is formed on the substrate adjacent to the gate structure. An amorphous silicon spacer for forming the sidewall spacer and sealing the air gap is formed adjacent to the nitride spacer. The upper portion of the amorphous silicon spacer is heavily doped during the source/drain implantation. After removing the nitride spacer the doped amorphous silicon spacer is oxidized by a wet oxidation process to form a doped oxide spacer. The growing doped oxide spacer will seal the hole for the nitride spacer resulting from the heavily doped upper portion having a higher oxidation rate than that of other portions. Dopants implanted in the amorphous silicon spacer migrate into the substrate and extended ultra-shallow doped regions are formed that reduce the series resistance of the LDD structure.
摘要:
A method is provided for the formation of ultra-shallow boron doped regions in a semiconductor device. In one embodiment of the invention an N-type semiconductor substrate (15) is provided having a first P-type region formed therein. A dielectric layer (16) is formed on the substrate surface and a material layer (17) doped with fluorinated boron is formed on the dielectric layer (16). A second P-type region (22), characterized by a high dopant concentration at the substrate surface and a uniform junction profile, is formed in the substrate adjacent to the first P-type region by diffusing boron atoms from the material layer (17) through the dielectric layer (16) and into the substrate (15). The second P-type region (22) has a very shallow junction depth which is closer to the substrate surface than the first P-type region.
