摘要:
A method includes forming an opening extending from a back surface of a semiconductor substrate to a metal pad on a front side of the semiconductor substrate, and forming a first conductive layer including a first portion overlapping active image sensors in the semiconductor substrate, a second portion overlapping black reference image sensors in the semiconductor substrate, and a third portion in the opening to contact the metal pad. A second conductive layer is formed over and contacting the first conductive layer. A first patterning step is performed to remove the first and the second portions of the second conductive layer, wherein the first conductive layer is used as an etch stop layer. A second patterning step is performed to remove a portion of the first portion of the first conductive layer. The second and the third portions of the first conductive layer remain after the second patterning step.

A method of manufacturing a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor device is disclosed. A gate dielectric layer is formed on an active area of a substrate. A gate electrode is patterned on the gate dielectric layer. The gate electrode has vertical sidewalls and a top surface. A liner is formed on the vertical sidewalls of the gate electrode. A nitride spacer is formed on the liner. An ion implanted is performed to form a source/drain region. After salicide process, an STI region that isolates the active area is recessed, thereby forming a step height at interface between the active area and the STI region. The nitride spacer is removed. A nitride cap layer that borders the liner is deposited. The nitride cap layer has a specific stress status.

A method for fabricating strained-silicon transistors is disclosed. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided and a gate structure and a spacer surrounding the gate structure are disposed on the semiconductor substrate. A source/drain region is then formed in the semiconductor substrate around the spacer, and a first rapid thermal annealing process is performed to activate the dopants within the source/drain region. An etching process is performed to form a recess around the gate structure and a selective epitaxial growth process is performed to form an epitaxial layer in the recess. A second rapid thermal annealing process is performed to redefine the distribution of the dopants within the source/drain region and repair the damaged bonds of the dopants.

A method of forming a semiconductor device. The method comprises steps of providing a substrate having a first transistor, a second transistor and non-salicide device formed thereon and the conductive type of the first transistor is different from that of the second transistor. A buffer layer is formed over the substrate and a tensile material layer is formed over the buffer layer. A portion of the tensile material layer over the second transistor is thinned and a spike annealing process is performed. The tensile material layer is removed to expose the buffer layer over the substrate and a patterned salicide blocking layer is formed over the non-salicide device. A salicide process is performed for forming a salicide layer on a portion of the first transistor and the second transistor.

A method of fabricating a metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor is provided. A first gate structure and a second gate structure are formed on a substrate. The first gate structure has a dimension greater than the second gate structure. Then, first lightly doped drain regions are formed in the substrate on two sides of the first gate structure. A lightly doped drain annealing process is performed. Next, second lightly doped drain regions are formed in the substrate on two sides of the second gate structure. First spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the first gate structure and second spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the second gate structure at the same time. Afterwards, first source/drain regions are formed in the substrate on two sides of the first spacers and second source/drain regions are formed in the substrate on two sides of the second spacers. A source/drain annealing process is performed.
