摘要:
A method for creating a self-aligned channel implant with elevated source/drain areas. Forming a thin dielectric layer on top of a silicon substrate, a thick layer of oxide is deposited over this dielectric. An opening is exposed and etched through the layer of oxide, through the dielectric and into the underlying silicon substrate creating a shallow trench in the substrate. By performing the channel implant LDD implant, pocket implant, forming the gate spacers and electrode, removing the thick layer of oxide and forming the S/D regions a gate electrode has been created with elevated S/D regions. By forming the gate spacers, performing channel implant, forming the gate electrode, removing the thick layer of oxide and performing S/D implant a gate electrode has been created with elevated S/D regions and disposable spacers. By forming the gate spacers and the gate electrode, removing the thick layer of oxide and performing S/D implant a gate electrode has been created with elevated S/D regions and spacers where the gate poly protrudes above the spacers thus enhancing the formation of silicide.
摘要:
A method for making metal capacitors for deep submicrometer processes for integrated circuits is described. The method provides metal capacitors with high capacitance per unit area, low voltage coefficients, and excellent capacitance distribution (uniformity) across the substrate. The method involves depositing a first insulating layer on a substrate having completed semiconductor devices. A first metal layer is deposited and patterned to form bottom electrodes and interconnecting metal lines. A thin capacitor dielectric layer is deposited, and a thin second metal or TiN layer is deposited and patterned to form the top electrodes. A thick second insulating layer is deposited and planarized, and an array of via holes are etched to the top electrodes to provide for low-resistance contacts and via holes for the interconnecting metal lines. A third conducting metal layer is deposited over the second insulating layer and in the via holes, and is patterned to form a thick metal plate over the capacitors to provide low-resistance contacts to the capacitors and concurrently to form the next level of metal interconnections.
摘要:
A method for forming a low voltage coefficient capacitor within an integrated circuit. Formed upon a semiconductor substrate is a first polysilicon layer. Formed directly upon the first polysilicon layer is an Inter Polysilicon Dielectric (IPD) layer. Formed directly upon the Inter Polysilicon Dielectric (IPD) layer is a second polysilicon layer. The first polysilicon layer and the second polysilicon layer each have a resistivity no greater than about 40 ohms per square. Formed directly upon the second polysilicon layer is an amorphous silicon layer. Formed directly upon the amorphous silicon layer is a metal layer which is capable of forming a metal silicide with the amorphous silicon layer. The thickness of the metal layer and the thickness of the amorphous silicon layer are chosen to form a stoichiometric metal silicide with minimal consumption of the polysilicon layer. Finally, the semiconductor substrate is annealed to form a metal silicide layer from the amorphous silicon layer and the metal layer.

摘要:
A process for forming a dual damascene opening, in a composite insulator layer, comprised of an overlying, wide diameter opening, used to accommodate a metal interconnect structure, and comprised of an underlying, narrow diameter opening, used to accommodate a metal via structure, has been developed. The process features the use of conventional photolithographic and anisotropic dry etching procedures, used to create an initial dual damascene opening, in the composite insulator layer. The subsequent formation of insulator spacers, on the vertical sides of the initial dual damascene opening, however, results in a final dual damascene opening, featuring a diameter smaller than the diameter displayed with the initial dual damascene opening.
