    摘要: A method for implanting gate regions essentially without implanting regions of the semiconductor layer where source/drain regions will be later formed. The method includes the steps of (a) providing (i) a semiconductor layer, (ii) a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor layer, (iii) a gate region on the gate dielectric layer, wherein the gate region is electrically insulated from the semiconductor layer by the gate dielectric layer; (b) forming a resist layer on the gate dielectric layer and the gate region; (c) removing a cap portion of the resist layer essentially directly above the gate region essentially without removing the remainder of the resist layer; and (d) implanting the gate region essentially without implanting the semiconductor layer.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of forming a phase shift mask and the resulting phase shift mask. The method forms a non-transparent film on a transparent substrate and patterns an etch stop layer on the non-transparent film. The invention patterns the non-transparent film using the etch stop layer to expose areas of the transparent substrate. Next, the invention forms a mask on the non-transparent film to protect selected areas of the transparent substrate and forms a phase shift oxide on exposed areas of the transparent substrate. Subsequently, the mask is removed and the phase shift oxide is polished down to the etch stop layer, after which the etch stop layer is removed.

    摘要: An etching process using germanium hard mask (25) includes forming a dielectric layer (15) over a major surface (11) of a semiconductor substrate (10) and depositing a metallic germanium layer (22) over the dielectric layer (15). The metallic germanium layer (22) is patterned through a photo resist (24) to form the germanium hard mask (25). The dielectric layer (15) is selectively etched through the germanium hard mask (25) to form a dielectric hard mask (35), through which the semiconductor substrate (10) is subsequently etched. After forming the dielectric hard mask (35), the germanium hard mask (25) is stripped away by oxidizing the metallic germanium hard mask (25) to transform it into a layer (27) of germanium oxide and rinsing the semiconductor substrate (10) in water to remove the germanium oxide layer (27). Preferably, the germanium hard mask (25) is removed before etching the semiconductor substrate (10).

    摘要: A method for forming a gate conductor cap in a transistor comprises the steps of: a) forming a polysilicon gate conductor; b) doping the polysilicon gate; c) doping diffusion areas; and d) capping the gate conductor by a nitridation method chosen from among selective nitride deposition and selective surface nitridation. The resulting transistor may comprise a capped gate conductor and borderless diffusion contacts, wherein the capping occurred by a nitridation method chosen from among selective nitride deposition and selective surface nitridation and wherein a portion of the gate conductor is masked during the nitridation method to leave open a contact area for a local interconnect or a gate contact.

    摘要: A densely packed array of vertical semiconductor devices having pillars and methods of making thereof are disclosed. The array has rows of wordlines and columns of bitlines. The array has vertical pillars, each having two wordlines, one active and the other passing for each, cell. Two wordlines are formed per pillar on opposite pillar sidewalls which are along the row direction. The threshold voltage of the pillar device is raised on the side of the pillar touching the passing wordline, thereby permanently shutting off the pillar device during the cell operation and isolating the pillar from the voltage variations on the passing wordline. The isolated wordlines allow individual cells to be addressed and written via direct tunneling, in both volatile and non-volatile memory cell configurations. For Gbit DRAM application, stack or trench capacitors may be formed on the pillars, or in trenches surrounding the pillars, respectively.
