    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method of making the same are disclosed which includes a DRAM cell which has a transistor which includes a gate. The gate includes an individual segment of gate conductor such as polysilicon on a thin dielectric material. The transistor further has a single crystal semiconductor substrate having a source/drain region. An active conducting wordline is deposited on top of and electrically contacting a segment gate conductor, the wordline being a conductive material having a top and sidewalls. Electrically insulating material completely surrounds the active wordline except where the active wordline contacts the segment gate conductor. The insulating material surrounding the active wordline includes silicon nitride overlying the top and surrounding a portion of the sidewalls thereof, and silicon dioxide surrounds the remainder of the side walls of the active wordline. A bitline contact contacts the source/drain region and the insulating material surrounding the active wordline to thereby make the bitline contact borderless to the wordline. A fully encased passing wordline is also provided which is spaced from and insulated from the segment gate conductor and the active wordline.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for forming self-aligned spacers on the horizontal surfaces while removing spacer material from the vertical surfaces. The preferred method uses a resist that can be made insoluble to developer by the use of an implant. By conformally depositing the resist over a substrate having both vertical and horizontal surfaces, implanting the resist, and developing the resist, the resist is removed from the vertical surfaces while remaining on the horizontal surfaces. Thus, a self-aligned spacer is formed on the horizontal surfaces while the spacer material is removed from the vertical surfaces. This horizontal-surface spacer can then be used in further fabrication. The preferred method can be used in many different processes where there is exists a need to differentially process the vertical and horizontal surfaces of a substrate.

    摘要: A stack of a first metal line and a first dielectric cap material portion is formed within a line trench of first dielectric material layer. A second dielectric material layer is formed thereafter. A line trench extending between the top surface and the bottom surface of the second dielectric material layer is patterned. A photoresist layer is applied over the second dielectric material layer and patterned with a via pattern. An underlying portion of the first dielectric cap material is removed by an etch selective to the dielectric materials of the first and second dielectric material layer to form a via cavity that is laterally confined along the widthwise direction of the line trench and along the widthwise direction of the first metal line. A dual damascene line and via structure is formed, which includes a via structure that is laterally confined along two independent horizontal directions.
