A method of manufacturing salicide layers includes the following steps. Firstly, a silicon substrate with a patterned stack structure of a silicon layer and a first cap layer sequentially formed thereon is provided. Then, a second cap layer is formed on the exposed silicon substrate. The materials of the first cap layer and the second cap layer are different. Then, the first cap layer is removed to expose the silicon layer. Then, a first metal layer is formed on the silicon layer and reacted with the silicon layer to produce a first salicide layer. Afterward, the second cap layer is removed, and a second metal layer is formed over the surface of the silicon substrate and reacted with the silicon substrate to produce a second salicide layer.

A method for manufacturing trench isolation, comprising firstly, defining a trench isolation over the substrate by photolithography and etching technique. Beside, by way of a spacer fabricating process to form a spacer around each of the two sides of the trench isolation. Therefore, a sharp corner in the crossing region between the trench isolation and an active area adjacent thereto in the substrate is smoothed, and the process window for a sequential gate polysilicon etching is improved, as well as the opportunity to leave polysilicon residue in the corner is eliminated. The short circuit between polysilicon gates is also avoided.

A dual damascene manufacturing method includes utilizing a low dielectric constant material to form the dielectric layers and to prevent current due to the reduced line width. An implanting step is performed on the dielectric layers to reduce the incoherence and fragility of the dielectric layers, to densify the dielectric layers and to protect the dielectric layers from damage in the subsequent processes. The present invention utilizes the hard mask layer formed over the dielectric layer to reduce the difficulty of the depositing process of the barrier layer. The openings formed within the hard mask layer are broad at the top and narrow at the bottom. so that the barrier layer is more easily deposited into the opening and the subsequent deposition step of the conductive material layer is easily performed. Moreover, the hard mask layer can be utilized as the etching stop layer in the CMP process.

A method of fabricating a buried contact in a static random access memory. A gate oxide layer, a first conducting layer and a masking layer are formed sequentially on a substrate. A buried contact opening is formed inside the gate oxide layer, the first conducting layer and the masking layer, which opening exposes a part of the substrate. An epitaxial layer is formed inside the buried contact opening, which epitaxial layer fills up the buried contact opening. After the masking layer is removed, a second conducting layer is formed above the substrate. A buried contact is formed in the substrate that is below the epitaxial layer. The gate oxide layer, the first conducting layer, the epitaxial layer and second conducting layer are patterned to expose a part of the substrate and a part of the buried contact. A source/drain is formed in the substrate and a part of the source/drain is mixed with a part of the buried contact.

A semiconductor fabrication method is provided for the fabrication of a polysilicon-based load circuit (called poly-load) for SRAM (static random-access memory). In accordance with this method, a lightly doped polysilicon layer is formed. This lightly doped polysilicon layer is doped with an impurity element to a predetermined concentration corresponding to the desired resistive characteristic of the poly-load. Further, this lightly-doped polysilicon layer is partitioned into two parts: a first part to be formed into the desired poly-load and a second part to be formed into a conductive interconnecting line that is electrically connected to the poly-load. After this, a metal silicide layer is formed over the second part of the lightly doped polysilicon layer to serve as the conductive interconnecting line. Next, an ILD (Inter Layer Dielectric) layer is formed over the poly-load and the conductive interconnecting line, and then the ILD layer is subjected to a densification process. This method can help the poly-load retain its specified length, thus allowing the SRAM device to be further reduced in size to a deep submicron level of integration. Moreover, the method can help the conductive interconnecting line have a low sheet resistance, thus reducing the IR drop across each memory cell to allow a SRAM device to be more stable in operation.
