    摘要: A method for fabricating a multi-level integrated circuit is disclosed which utilizes a grid pattern from which portions corresponding to the metal layer are selectively removed to form a mask which is subsequently used to deposit dummy features in the open areas between metal lines, thereby to allow the deposition of a substantially planar dielectric surface over the metal layers and dummy features.

    摘要: The invention provides a device containing a low .kappa., hydrogen-free a-C:F layer with good adhesion and thermal stability. It was found that the combination of desirable properties was attainable by a relatively easy process, as compared to processes that utilize gaseous sources, such as CVD. Specifically, the a-C:F layer is formed by sputter deposition, using only solid sources for the fluorine and carbon, and in the absence of any intentionally-added hydrogen-containing source. The sputtering is performed such that the layer contains 20 to 60 at. % fluorine, and also, advantageously, such that the a-C:F exhibits a bandgap of about 2.0 eV or greater. The a-C:F layer formed by the process of the invention exhibits a dielectric constant, at 1 MHz and room temperature, of 3.0 or less, advantageously 2.5 or less, and more advantageously 2.1 or less, along with being thermally stable up to at least 350.degree. C., advantageously 450.degree. C., and exhibiting a stress of about 100 MPa or less, in absolute value.

    摘要: In CMOS based integrated circuits, stricter design rules require source and drain junctions shallower than 2500 .ANG.. By using a specific device configuration, a shallow junction is obtainable while resistance to latch-up is improved and other electrical properties, e.g., low leakage current, are maintained. To achieve this result the p-channel device should have an activation energy of the junction reverse leakage current region less than 1.12 eV, with a junction dopant region shallower than 1200 .ANG. and a monotonically decreasing junction dopant profile.

    摘要: Contact structures having I shapes and L shapes, and methods of fabricating I-shaped and L-shaped contact structures, are employed in semiconductor devices and, in certain instances, phase-change nonvolatile memory devices. The I-shaped and L-shaped contact structures produced by these methods exhibit relatively small active areas. The methods that determine the contact structure dimensions employ conventional semiconductor deposit and etch processing steps that are capable of creating readily reproducible results.
