    摘要: A method is described for forming P-channel field effect transistors having shallow source/drain junctions and improved reliability for CMOS circuits. The method involves forming both N-channel and P-channel FETs by alternate photoresist masking and ion implantation. The shallow junction self-aligned source/drain areas for P-channel FETs are formed by implanting boron difluoride (BF.sub.2) ions. In more conventional processing, the BF.sub.2 ions implanted in the P-channel FET gate electrodes during the source/drain implant results in outgassing of fluorine from the gate electrodes after the interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer is deposited. This can result in void formation, or delamination, at the interface between the gate electrode and the ILD. The current invention provides an improved process which uses a photoresist block-out mask to eliminate the implantation of the BF.sub.2.sup.+ ions in the P-channel FET gate electrodes during the formation of the self-aligned P.sup.+ source/drain regions. This prevents voids from forming at the gate electrode/ILD interface after the ILD layer is deposited and subsequent high-temperature processing steps are performed. The invention also reduces the enhanced boron diffusion in the P-FET gate oxide that can degrade the threshold voltage.

    摘要: A method is described for forming P-channel field effect transistors having shallow source/drain junctions and improved reliability for CMOS circuits. The method involves forming both N-channel and P-channel FETs on the same substrate by alternate photoresist masking and ion implantation. The self-aligned source/drain areas for the P-channel FETs are formed by implanting boron difluoride (BF.sub.2) ions. In more conventional processing, the BF.sub.2 ions that are implanted in the P-channel FET gate electrodes during the source/drain implant results in out-gassing of fluorine from the gate electrodes after the interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer is deposited. This can result in void formation, or delamination, at the interface between the gate electrode and the ILD. The current invention provides an improved process which out-diffuses the fluorine atoms prior to depositing the ILD, and thereby prevents the formation of voids after the ILD is deposited and subsequent high-temperature process steps are performed.

    摘要: A method of forming a number of closely spaced electrodes is described wherein covering the electrodes with a conformal layer of oxide or nitride deposited using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition does not result in the formation of restricted regions or keyholes between adjacent electrodes. The method uses de-focussing to form the electrode mask pattern in a layer of photoresist. The focal plane in which the electrode pattern is focussed is positioned a de-focus distance above the layer of photoresist. The de-focus method results in electrodes having a trapezoidal cross section wherein the bottom of the electrode is wider than the top of the electrode. The trapezoidal cross section avoids the formation of restricted regions or keyholes when the electrodes are covered with a conformal dielectric layer, such as a layer of oxide or nitride deposited using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

    摘要: A new method for detecting blind holes in the contact layer of a multi-chip semiconductor test wafer makes use of the fact that if the hole is not a blind hole, a subsequent etch step extends the hole a predetermined distance into the layer immediately underlying the contact layer. After a predetermined number of holes have been etched through the contact layer and for a predetermined distance into the layer underlying the contact layer, the contact layer is stripped to expose the holes in the underlying layer. These holes are scanned optically by a commercial apparatus that ordinarily detects wafer defects that resemble the holes. The missing holes are detected by comparing the holes of different chips on the test wafer. The test is particularly useful with a high density plasma etch because these holes typically have a very small diameter in relation to the thickness of the contact layer.

    摘要: A method of forming capacitors comprising polysilicon, polysilicon oxide, metal is described which significantly improves uniformity of capacitance across the silicon integrated circuit wafer and avoids damage to electrical contact regions. A first layer of polysilicon oxide is formed on a polysilicon first capacitor plate. The wafer is then dipped in a buffered oxide etch or subjected to a dry anisotropic etch. The etching conditions the polysilicon layer so that subsequent polysilicon oxide growth is very uniform and controllable. A second polysilicon oxide layer is then formed on the polysilicon first capacitor plate. A layer of silicon nitride is formed on the polysilicon oxide and a second capacitor plate is formed on the layer of silicon nitride completing the capacitor. Improved capacitance uniformity across the wafer is achieved and device damage is avoided.

    摘要: An improved seasoning process for a plasma etching chamber is described. This has been achieved by increasing the RF power to both the wafer and the walls of the chamber during seasoning. Additionally, the gas that is used is at a pressure of about 10 mTorr and has the following composition: chlorine about 90% and oxygen about 10%. By observing the optical emission spectrum during seasoning (notably lines due to the SiClx species) it is confirmed that, under these conditions, seasoning is completed by using only a single wafer for about 100 seconds.

    摘要: A method of determining optical constants n and k for a film on a substrate is described. Optical measurements are preferably performed with an integrated optical measurement system comprising a reflectometer, spectral ellipsometer, and broadband spectrometer such as an Opti-Probe series tool from Therma-Wave. A beam profile reflectometer is employed to first determine the thickness of said film from a best fit of modeling data to experimental data. The thickness data is combined with the ellipsometer and spectrometer measurements to produce an experimental data output which is fitted with modeled information to determine a best fit of the data. Constants n and k are derived from the best fit of data. The method provides a higher accuracy for n and k values than by standard procedures which calculate n, k, and t simultaneously. The method may also be applied to bilayer or multi-layer film stacks.
