摘要:
A totally self-aligned transistor with a tungsten gate. A single mask is used to align the source, drain, gate and isolation areas. Overlay error is greatly reduced by the use of a single mask for these regions. A mid-gap electrode is also self-aligned to the transistor. The electrode is preferably formed from tungsten metal.

A method for fabricating a MOSFET device is provided. The method includes a step of fining a gate oxide including first and second gate oxide materials. The first gate oxide material has a higher dielectric constant than the second gate oxide material. The first gate oxide material is formed to be over source/drain extension regions of the device; and the second gate oxide material is formed over a channel region of the device. The first gate oxide material has a low dielectric constant and provides for mitigating gate fringing field effects. The second gate oxide material has a high dielectric constant and provides for forming a thick gate oxide over a channel region of the device. Controlled uniform growth of the second gate oxide material is facilitated because of the thickness thereof.

An attenuated phase shift mask comprises a first layer having a thickness to provide a transmission in the range of about 3 to 10% formed on a transparent substrate and a second layer comprising a transparent material having a thickness to provide a desired phase shift, formed on said first layer. For a phase shift of 180.degree. and i-line wavelength (365 nm), where chromium is used as the first layer, then a thickness within the range of about 25 to 75 run is employed; where silicon dioxide is used as the second layer, then a thickness of about 400 to 450 nm is employed. While the oxide may be dry-etched, an isotropic wet etch provides superior aerial images.

A PVD sputter system having a nonplanar target surface is disclosed. The configuration of the nonplanar target surface is adjusted to provide improved uniformity in deposition film thickness and step coverage at the peripheral boundary regions of the substrate. Emission-inducing power is distributed independently to different portions of the nonplanar target surface so as to modify the deposition profile according to substrate size and other factors.
摘要:
A buried local interconnect and method of forming the same counterdopes a region of a doped substrate to form a counterdoped isolation region. A hardmask is formed and patterned on the doped substrate, with a recess being etched through the patterned hardmask into the counterdoped region. Dielectric spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the recess, with a portion of the bottom of the recess being exposed. A metal is then deposited in the recess and reacted to form silicide at the bottom of the recess. The recess is filled with fill material, which is polished. The hardmask is then removed to form a silicide buried local interconnect.
