摘要:
A method of fabricating a memory device and a logic device on the same chip is described, wherein the memory device has a first gate on a first region of the chip, and wherein the logic device has a second gate with a sidewall on a second region of the chip. A conductive layer and a first suicide layer are sequentially formed over the first and the second regions of the chip. Over the first region of the chip, the first silicide layer and the conductive layer are patterned to form the first gate. Ions are first implanted into the first region of the chip, by using the first gate as a mask, to form a first doped region. A dielectric layer is formed to cap the first gate, the first doped region and the first region of the chip. The first silicide layer over the second region of the chip is removed. Over the second region of the chip, the conductive layer is patterned to form the second gate. Ions are second implanted into the second region of the chip, by using the second gate as a mask, to form a second doped region.

A method of forming a shallow trench isolation structure is disclosed. The method comprises providing a substrate; forming a first oxide layer, a stop layer and a second oxide layer successively on the substrate; patterning the second oxide layer, the stop layer and the first oxide layer and a portion of the substrate to form a trench wherein the trench has a top corner. Then, a recess is formed at the periphery of the pad oxide layer, using the salicide process to form an aslope periphery at the top corner. Consequently, kink effect is improved, leakage current is reduced and the performance of the device is enhanced.

The DRAM cell is formed by covering the cell's transfer FET with a conformal insulating layer. A self aligned contact etch removes a portion of the conformal insulating layer from above a first source/drain region of the FET and then a first polysilicon layer is deposited over the device. Etching defines a polysilicon pad from the first polysilicon layer with edges of the polysilicon pad disposed over the gate electrode and an adjacent wiring line. A thick, planarized second insulating layer is provided over the device, filling the volume defined by the locally cupped surface of the polysilicon pad. Etching is performed to remove a portion of the planarized insulating layer using the pad polysilicon layer as an etch stop for the process. A second, thick polysilicon layer is next provided to fill the cavity and the layer is patterned to laterally define the lower capacitor electrode. Hemispherical grained silicon (HSG-Si) is deposited on the surface of the patterned polysilicon layer and an etch back process is used to transfer the topology of the HSG-Si layer to the underlying polysilicon. Further processing provides a capacitor dielectric and an upper electrode.

A method for fabricating crown-shaped a capacitor is provided. The method is comprised of the following steps. First, a dielectric layer is formed on a substrate having a pre-formed field effect transistor, then a contact hole which exposes one of the source/drain regions of the field effect transistor is defined and formed. Then a first conductive layer is formed in the contact hole and on the dielectric layer, a crown-shaped photoresist layer is formed by employing a mask comprising a transmission layer, a partial transmission layer, and a non-transmission layer. Next, the pattern on the photoresist layer is transferred onto the first conductive layer to form a crown-shaped conductive layer. Then, a dielectric film is formed on the top of the crown-shaped conductive layer, and a second conductive layer on the top of the dielectric film.
摘要:
A fabricating method of a dynamic random access memory is provided. The characteristic of the method is the formation of a dielectric layer to protect a polysilicon layer of hemispheric grains, and thus, the slurry residue from chemical-mechanical polishing process is avoided. In addition, the dielectric layer and the oxide layer can be removed by the same step of wet etching without an additional process. The exposure limitation is not restricted by the shrinkage of the devices. Therefore, the polysilicon layer of hemispherical grains can be removed precisely as expected.

A new method of forming a metal diffusion barrier layer is described. Semiconductor device structures are formed in and on a semiconductor substrate. At least one dielectric layer covers the semiconductor structures and at least one contact hole has been opened through the dielectric layer(s) to the semiconductor substrate. A metal diffusion barrier layer is now formed using the following steps: In the first step, a thin layer of titanium is deposited conformally over the surface of the dielectric layer(s) and within the contact opening(s) and annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of between about 580.degree. to 630.degree. C. for between about 20 to 120 seconds. The second step is to form stable and adhesive titanium compounds on the pre-metal dielectric layer as well as to form a low resistance silicide on the contact silicon by annealing at between about 800.degree. to 900.degree. C. for between about 5 to 60 seconds. The final step is to release the system stress by tempering the layer at a temperature of between about 600.degree. to 750.degree. C. This completes the barrier layer which has good adhesion to the dielectric layer(s) and, therefore, promotes improved pad bonding yield.
摘要:
A structure and a process for forming an improved bonding pad which allows better bonding between a bond wire and a metal bonding pad. Stripes are formed on a substrate. A conformal dielectric layer, a conformal barrier layer and a metal layer are formed over the stripes. A passivation layer with a window is formed defining a bonding pad area. The stripes promote an irregular surface in the barrier and metal layers which reduce stress between the dielectric layer, the barrier layer and the metal layer. Also, the irregular surfaces increase the barrier metal adhesion to the dielectric layer, reduce bond pad peel off, and increase bonding yields.
摘要:
A method for eliminating the peeling of polycide at the edge of a wafer used to fabricate semi-conductors and integrated circuits. A global rough surface is formed on the wafer. The rough surface on the substrate wafer releases most of the thermal stress between the silicide and polysilicon layers which are found in conventional devices. A "peel free" surface results and the particle problem is lessened.
