    摘要: A novel transistor with a low resistance ultra shallow tip region and its method of fabrication in a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. According to the preferred method of the present invention, a first gate dielectric and a first gate electrode are formed on a first portion of a semiconductor substrate having a first conductivity type, and a second gate dielectric and a said gate electrode are formed on a second portion of semiconductor substrate having a second conductivity type. A silicon nitride layer is formed over the first portion of the semiconductor substrate including the first gate electrode and over the second portion of the semiconductor substrate including the second gate electrode. The silicon nitride layer is removed from the second portion of the silicon substrate and from the top of the second gate electrode to thereby form a first pair of silicon nitride spacers adjacent to opposite sides of the second gate electrode. A pair of recesses are then formed in the second portion of the semiconductor substrate in alignment with the first pair of sidewall spacers. A selectively deposited semiconductor material is then formed in the recesses.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for conditioning and/or rinsing a pad in a chemical-mechanical polisher. A scoring apparatus is rotated about its center directly over the polishing pad of the chemical-mechanical polisher. The scoring apparatus scores the pad surface while rotating above the pad. Consequently the pad is conditioned in a uniform and concentric fashion.

    摘要: A new method of isolating a polysilicon emitter from the base region of a bipolar transistor, trenching the polysilicon emitter into the semiconductor substrate, and maintaining a consistent base width of a bipolar transistor independent of variations in emitter mask thicknesses is disclosed. The polysilicon emitter isolation provides for better electrical breakdown characteristics between the emitter and the base by protecting the dielectric layer between the polysilicon emitter and base regions from defects and contamination associated with the BiCMOS manufacturing environment. The polysilicon emitter is trenched into the semiconductor substrate in order to reduce transistor operation problems associated with hot electron injection. Consistent base widths improve transistor performance uniformity thereby improving manufacturability and reliability.

    摘要: A novel process for forming a robust, sub-100 .ANG. oxide is disclosed. Native oxide growth is tightly controlled by flowing pure nitrogen during wafer push and nitrogen with a small amount of oxygen during temperature ramp and stabilization. First, a dry oxidation is performed in oxygen and 13% trichloroethane. Next, a wet oxidation in pyrogenic steam is performed to produce a total oxide thickness of approximately 80 .ANG.. The oxide layer formed is ideally suited for use as a high integrity gate oxide below 100 .ANG.. The invention is particularly useful in devices with advanced, recessed field isolation where sharp silicon edges are difficult to oxidize. For an oxide layer of more than 100 .ANG., a composite oxide stack is used which comprises 40-90 .ANG. of pad oxide formed using the above novel process, and 60-200 .ANG. of deposited oxide.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a relatively thin layer of polysilicon is deposited on an underlying region to which spaced-apart electrical contacts are to be made through a subsequently formed relatively thick insulating layer. The polysilicon is selectively masked by a patterned silicon nitride layer in the regions where contact windows are to be formed. The unmasked polysilicon is then converted to a relatively thick insulating layer in an oxidizing step. Thereafter the silicon nitride portions are removed and the remaining polysilicon is utilized to provide conductive regions in the defined windows. In another embodiment, a relatively thick layer of polysilicon is selectively masked and partially converted to silicon dioxide to define both the insulating layer and the conductive regions. In still another embodiment, a relatively thin layer of polysilicon is patterned and then entirely converted to silicon dioxide to form an insulating layer having windows defined therein.
