A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first insulating pattern, a first conductive pattern, and a second conductive pattern on a semiconductor substrate; forming a spacer on sidewalls of the first insulating pattern, the first conductive pattern, and the second conductive pattern; forming a second insulating pattern over the substrate; forming a first salicide on an exposed portion of the substrate and a second salicide on an entire upper surface of the second conductive pattern; depositing a third insulating layer over the substrate, and etching selectively the third insulating layer to forming first and second contact holes exposing the first and second salicides. The method provides processing margin and prevents excessive etching of a conductive layer under the salicide, even if misalignment of an overlying contact hole happens.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with a transistor comprising an LDD region and a silicide layer is disclosed. The method may include forming a gate electrode on a substrate, forming a first preliminary source/drain region with shallow junction through an ion implantation process using the gate electrode as a mask, and forming a ILD pattern with contact holes on the substrate including the gate electrode, the contact holes exposing the top of the gate electrode and some part of the first preliminary source/drain region. The method may also include forming an expanded source/drain region through an ion implantation process using the ILD pattern as a mask, forming a silicide layer on the top of the gate electrode and the expanded source/drain region, and forming contact plugs by filling the contact holes with metal.

A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the device capable of preventing an LDD region and a lower portion of the gate electrode from overlapping each other to achieve desirable device performance are disclosed. Embodiments relate to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the device that may minimize overlap between an LDD region and a lower portion of the gate electrode. Minimizing overlap may maximize device performance and minimize the generation of defects between gate electrodes.

A semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same include a gate electrode formed over the silicon substrate, the gate electrode including low-concentration conductive impurity regions, a high-concentration conductive impurity region formed between the low-concentration conductive impurity regions and a first silicide layer formed over the high-concentration conductive impurity region, and contact electrodes including a first contact electrode connected electrically to the gate electrode and a second contact electrode connected electrically to source/drain regions. The first contact electrode contacts the uppermost surface of the gate electrode and a sidewall of the gate electrode. The gate electrode can be easily connected to the contact electrode, the high-concentration region can be disposed only on the channel region, making it possible to maximize overall performance of the semiconductor device.
摘要:
A method of fabricating a transistor in a semiconductor device. A gate oxide layer and a gate are formed on a semiconductor substrate. An oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer are stacked on the substrate. The stacked oxide and silicon nitride layers are etched back to expose a surface of the substrate. The silicon nitride layer is removed to form a gate sidewall spacer. Impurity ions are implanted into the substrate through the exposed surface of the substrate.

A dummy gate may be formed over an isolation layer. A sidewall spacer may be formed next to the dummy gate. The dummy gate and the sidewall spacer may substantially cover or completely cover the edge of isolation layer that is adjacent to an active area of a silicon substrate. Damage to the isolation layer due to a contact hole etching may be prevented, even if there are misalignments.
摘要:
Embodiments relate to a SRAM, in which a well isolation method may be applied so that an N-well and a P-well are separated from each other and that well walls of opposite conductive types are formed on facing sides. Also, the active regions of NMOS and PMOS may be connected to each other and the contacts of a PMOS drain and an NMOS source may be united to one so that the contacts are moved to the active regions of wide parts. A size of the common contact may be one to two times the size of a contact defined by a design rule. The active region may have a round bent part. The common contacts are arranged to be asymmetrical with each other. Therefore, it may be possible to secure the process margins of the active regions and the contacts, to improve a leakage current characteristic, and to improve yield. Also, it may be possible to prevent the dislocation of the active region and to omit a conventional thermal treatment process so that it may be possible to simplify processes and to reduce manufacturing cost.
