    摘要: The present invention provides a method for forming and etching a resist protect oxide layer, of which provides improved etch selectivity to a shallow trench isolation and an increased pre-metal dip processing window. The process begins by forming a shallow trench isolation on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate has a first area and a second area separated by the shallow trench isolation. A gate is formed on the semiconductor substrate in the first area, adjacent to the shallow trench isolation. In a key step, a resist protect oxide layer comprising a thin silicon oxide layer and an overlying thin nitrogen containing layer, is deposited over the semiconductor substrate, the gate, and the shallow trench isolation. The thin nitrogen containing layer can be composed of silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride. Alternatively, if the notrogen containing layer is composed of silicon oxynitride, the oxide layer can be omitted because oxynitride's stress is less than nitrogen, so the oxynitride could use a native oxide layer as the buffer oxide. The resist protect oxide layer is patterned in an RPO etch step; thereby exposing the first area, including the source and drain regions. A key advantage of the invention is that the RPO etch step can be performed in an endpoint mode where the endpoint is detected by the nitrogen content of the etch chamber ambient. Silicide regions can then be formed on the source and drain regions. A second key advantage of the invention is that the nitrogen containing layer of the resist protect oxide layer has a slower etch rate during pre-metal dip than a resist protect oxide layer composed of only oxide.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication process, allowing integration of MOSFET devices, and capacitor structures, on a single semiconductor chip, has been developed. The process integration features the use of a MOSFET device, fabricated using a self-aligned contact structure, allowing a reduction in the source and drain area needed for contact. Silicon nitride spacers, used on the sides of the polysilicon gate electrode, protect the polysilicon gate structure, during the opening of a self-aligned contact hole.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a junction for a field effect transistor which does not cause distortion of the sidewall spacers during subsequent processing thereby reducing junction depletion and source to drain leakage. The process begins by providing a substrate structure having a gate thereon. Sidewall spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the gate. Impurity ions are implanted into the substrate structure adjacent to the gate to form source and drain regions. A resist protect oxide layer is formed over the substrate structure. The resist protect oxide is patterned by forming a mask over the resist protect oxide layer having an opening over the gate and the source and drain regions. The resist protect oxide layer is selectively etched; thereby removing the resist protect oxide over the source and drain regions without distorting the sidewall spacers. A silicide region is formed on the source and drain regions using a salicide process comprising a pre-amorphous implant and one or more rapid thermal anneal steps. The undistorted sidewall spacers reduce the distance that pre-amorphous implant damage extends under the gate during subsequent processing, which reduces the damage induced impurity ion diffusion under the gate. Because there is less impurity ion diffusion under the gate, junction depletion and source to drain leakage are reduced.

    摘要: This invention provides a method for forming a self-aligned silicide with low sheet resistance in the N+ source and drain regions and the N+ polysilicon regions in a semiconductor device using a titanium nitride barrier layer to prevent nitridation of an underlying titanium layer during rapid thermal anneal. The process begins by providing a substrate structure having a gate thereon. A titanium layer is deposited over the substrate structure and the gate. Mixing ions are implanted through the titanium layer into source and drain regions adjacent to the gate. A titanium nitride barrier layer is deposited on the titanium layer. The substrate structure is rapid thermal annealed causing the titanium layer to react with the underlying silicon to form silicide. The substrate structure is selectively etched to remove the titanium nitride barrier layer and unreacted titanium. A second rapid thermal anneal is performed.

    摘要: A method was achieved for making FET stacked gate electrode structures with improved sidewall profiles. These more vertical sidewalls improve the control tolerance of the gate electrode length (L.sub.eff) and improve the shape of the sidewall spacers for making more reliable metal contacts to the self-aligned source/drain contact areas. The method uses a stacked gate electrode layer having a TEOS oxide and a hard mask of silicon nitride on the gate electrode polysilicon layer. During patterning of the stacked gate electrode structure using a photoresist mask, the hard mask minimizes the buildup of a polymer on the TEOS oxide sidewall. This polymer would otherwise act as a masking material resulting in an abrupt step at the TEOS oxide/polysilicon interface when the polysilicon etch is completed. This results in improved gate electrode line length tolerance and much improved sidewall spacers that minimize electrical shorts between the metal source/drain contacts and the polysilicon gate electrodes.
