摘要:
A method of manufacturing the metallic electrodes of a capacitor in a mixed mode semiconductor device. The method comprises the steps of providing a substrate having a conductive layer and the lower electrode of a capacitor formed thereon, and then depositing a dielectric layer over the substrate. A first opening and a second opening are then formed in the dielectric layer. The first opening exposes a portion of the conductive layer while the second opening exposes a portion of the lower electrode. Finally, a conductive plug and the upper electrode of the capacitor are formed in the respective first and second openings that are in corresponding positions above the conductive layer and lower electrode, respectively.

A method of forming self-aligned suicides is described and applied to a substrate having an isolation area, which divides the substrate into a first area and a second area. A resist protective oxide layer is formed on the substrate, and subsequently a mask layer is formed on the resist protective oxide layer. Further, the mask layer includes an opening on the first area and another opening on a contact hole of the second area. When a resist protective oxide process is performed, the mask layer protects the resist protective oxide layer underlying the same from being removed, whereas the resist protective oxide layer under the openings are removed. Therefore, silicides are controlled to form on the first area and the contact hole of the second area in a subsequent self-aligned silicidation process.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing metallic interconnects capable of reducing internal stress inside the metallic layer. The method comprises the steps of forming a silicon-rich oxide layer both before and after the formation of a metallic layer. Therefore, the metallic layer is fully enclosed by silicon-rich oxide layers and any direct contact between the metallic layer and any silicon dioxide layer is avoided. Since the quantity of silicon in the silicon-rich oxide layer is much higher than in a silicon dioxide layer, bonds formed between a silicon atom and an oxygen atom in the silicon-rich oxide layer are much stronger. Consequently, the chance for an aluminum atom in the metallic layer to react with an oxygen atom in the silicon-rich oxide layer is greatly reduced. Hence, lattice vacancies/voids that can lead to conventional stress migration and thermal induced migration problems are prevented.

A method of fabricating a MOS transistor. An undoped multi-layer stacked polysilicon structure is formed on a gate oxide layer and then being doped to increase conductivity. After that, the multi-layer stacked polysilicon structure and the gate oxide layer are patterned to form a gate electrode. A source/drain region is formed by ion implantation with the gate electrode as a mask.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a crack resistant inter-layer dielectric for a salicide process. The method includes forming an insulating layer on a provided substrate, forming a planarized inter-layer dielectric layer on the insulating layer, and performing a short-duration thermal treatment to increase the density of the inter-layer dielectric layer.
