    摘要: A semiconductor device (10) is formed having an SRAM array with a plurality of SRAM cells. In forming the access and latch transistors, two different gate electrode compositions are used to form the access and latch transistors. More specifically, a dielectric layer (22) is formed between two conductive layers (26 and 28) within the gate electrode (52) for the access transistors while the dielectric layer is not formed between the two conductive layers (26 and 28) for the latch transistors. This structure allows an increase in the beta ratio for the SRAM cell thereby making a more stable SRAM cell without having to use diffused resistors between the access transistors in storage nodes or by having to form a differential thickness between the gate dielectric layers for the latch transistors and the access transistors.

    摘要: A method for processing a conductive layer, such as a doped polysilicon layer (14) of a gate stack, provides a degas step after precleaning to reduce particle count and defectivity. The conductive layer is provided on a substrate (10), e.g., a silicon wafer. The substrate (10) and conductive layer are subjected to an elevated temperature, under a vacuum, whereby certain species are liberated. The substrate having the conductive layer formed thereon is then removed from the chamber, and moved to a second, separate chamber, in which a second conductive layer (20) is deposited. By switching chambers, the liberated species are largely prevented from contributing to particle count at the interface between the conductive layers. Alternatively, the second conductive layer is formed in the same chamber, provided that the liberated species are removed from the chamber prior to deposition of the second conductive layer.

    摘要: An SRAM cell is formed such that pass channel-stop regions, which are adjacent to the pass transistors, have a higher doping concentration compared to the latch channel-stop regions that are adjacent to the latch transistors. In one embodiment, the pass channel-stop regions are formed using two channel-stop doping steps, whereas the latch channel-stop regions are formed during only one channel-stop doping step. The doping steps may be performed before or after field isolation is formed. The higher doping concentration causes the dopant from the pass channel-stop regions to extend laterally further from the edge of the field isolation compared to the latch channel-stop regions. The process can be adapted for use in almost any type of field isolation process.
