摘要:
A process of manufacturing a gate stack whereby the integrity of both the gate sidewalls and the substrate surface is maintained. Nitride spacers are constructed on the sidewalls of a gate which has been etched only to the top of the polysilicon layer. This allows more of the polysilicon sidewall to be exposed during subsequent reoxidation while at the same time minimizing effects such as bird's beak resulting during reoxidation. After the nitride spacers are constructed the subsequent etch is performed in two steps in order to minimize degradation of the substrate surface in underlying active regions.

The invention provides methods for forming contact openings to a substrate location with which electrical connection is desired. According to one aspect, a multi-level layer comprising masking material or photoresist is formed atop an electrically conductive substrate surface and defines a mask opening through which a contact opening is to be formed to an elevationally lower substrate location. A single layer of photoresist is patterned to form an elevationally thicker first layer immediately laterally adjacent the mask opening than a second layer which is formed laterally outward of the first layer. The electrically conductive substrate surface is etched through the mask opening to form the contact opening. The photoresist second layer is removed and the conductive substrate surface is etched to form a portion of an outer conductive component. Thereafter, conductive material is formed in the contact opening to electrically connect elevationally separated layers. According to another aspect, a masking material layer comprises a bi-level profile having two different layer elevational thicknesses, the greater of which being disposed immediately laterally adjacent a contact opening pattern. A contact opening is etched through the substrate outer surface and conductive material is formed therein to electrically connect the substrate location with an outer conductive layer. In a preferred implementation, the masking material layer or photoresist is formed through photolithography using only a single mask. In another implementation, more than one mask is used to define the multi-level or bi-level profile masking material layer. The multi-level masking layer can have more than two levels.

Disclosed is a method for forming a local interconnect with a self-aligned titanium silicide process on a semiconductor substrate. The initial step of the method is to form a thin titanium layer over the electronic devices to be provided with electrical communication. A polysilicon layer is then formed over the thin titanium layer, and in a further step, an implant mask is formed over portions of the polysilicon layer so as to pattern an area where the local interconnect is desired to be formed. Ions are then implanted into the polysilicon layer exposed by the implant mask, and the implant mask is then removed. In a further step, an etch process that etches either implanted or unimplanted polysilicon and is selective to the other is conducted. The remaining implanted polysilicon and titanium layers are then annealed to form titanium silicide, and the titanium that is not converted to titanium silicide is removed.

Integrated circuitry and methods of forming integrated circuitry are described. In one implementation, a common masking step is utilized to provide source/drain diffusion regions and halo ion implantation or dopant regions relative to the source/drain regions within one well region of a substrate; and well contact diffusion regions within another well region of the substrate. The common masking step preferably defines at least one mask opening over the substrate within which the well contact diffusion region is to be formed, and the mask opening is suitably dimensioned to reduce the amount of halo ion implantation dopant which ultimately reaches the substrate therebelow. According to one aspect, a plurality of mask openings are provided. According to another aspect, a suitably-dimensioned single mask opening is provided. In yet another aspect, a unique well region construction is provided with one or more complementary mask openings which is (are) configured to, in connection with the provision of the halo ion implantation dopant, block the amount of implantation dopant which ultimately reaches the substrate adjacent the well contact diffusion regions. Accordingly, at least some of the well contact diffusion region(s) remain in substantial contact with the well region after the doping of the substrate with the halo ion implantation dopant.

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for allowing provisioning of open data protocol (OData) services on top of a generic interaction layer (GenIL). One computer-implemented method includes receiving an OData-compliant request for data, determining a GenIL data provider to receive the OData-compliant request for data, determining the memory location of the data, requesting the data from the determined memory location, receiving the requested data from the determined memory location, converting, using at least one computer, the received data into an OData-compliant format, rendering an OData-compliant response, and transmitting the OData-compliant response.

摘要:
A semiconductor device, such as a PMOS or NMOS device, having localized stressors is provided. Recesses are formed on opposing sides of a gate electrode. A stress-inducing region is formed along a bottom of the recess, and a stressed layer is formed over the stress-inducing region. By having a stress-inducing region with a larger lattice structure than the stressed layer, a tensile strain may be created in a channel region of the semiconductor device and may be suitable for an NMOS device. By having a stress-inducing region with a smaller lattice structure than the stressed layer, a compressive strain may be created in the channel region of the semiconductor device and may be suitable for a PMOS device. Embodiments may be applied to various types of substrates and semiconductor devices, such as planar transistors and finFETs.
摘要:
An integrated process flow for forming an NMOS transistor (104) and an embedded SiGe (eSiGe) PMOS transistor (102) using a stress memorization technique (SMT) layer (126). The SMT layer (126) is deposited over both the NMOS transistor (104) and PMOS transistor (102). The portion of SMT layer (126) over PMOS transistor (102) is anisotropically etched to form spacers (128) without etching the portion of SMT layer (126) over NMOS transistor (104). Spacers (128) are used to align the SiGe recess etch and growth to form SiGe source/drain regions (132). The source/drain anneals are performed after etching the SMT layer (126) such that SMT layer (126) provides the desired stress to the NMOS transistor (104) without degrading PMOS transistor (102).
