Abstract:
A method of making embedded DRAM devices having integrated therein a gate electrode of low sheet resistance satisfying the requirement of high performance logic circuitry is provided. The gate electrode on a semiconductor substrate comprises a gate oxide film, a polysilicon film, a metal, a lightly doped diffusion layer, silicon dioxide spacers, and a source/drain diffusion layer. The metal is planted in an opening, where a capped silicon nitride used to occupy, on top the polysilicon film.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing DRAM having a redundancy circuit region. The method utilizes a laser beam permeable layer such as a silicon nitride layer to serve as a stop layer in the etching step of the passivation oxide layer. The method removes the conductive layer, serving as the upper electrode of the capacitor, in the redundancy circuit region II. The fuse of the redundancy circuit region II can thereby be easily blown by the laser beam.
