摘要: A double blanket ion implant method for forming diffulsion regions in memory array devices, such as a MOSFET access device is disclosed. The method provides a semiconductor substrate with a gate structure formed on its surface Next, a first pair of diffulsion regions are formed in a region adjacent to the channel region by a first blanket ion implantation process. The first blanket ion implantation process has a first energy level and dose. The device is subjected to oxidizing conditions, which form oxidized sidewalls on the gate structure. A second blanket ion implantation process is conducted at the same location as the first ion implantation process adding additional dopant to the diffusion regions. The second blanket ion implantation process has a second energy level and dose. The resultant diffusion regions provide the device with improved static refresh performance over prior art devices. In addition, the first and second energy levels and doses are substantially lower than an energy level and dose used in a prior art single implantation process.

摘要: Semiconductor processing methods of forming conductive projections and methods of increasing alignment tolerances are described. In one implementation, a conductive projection is formed over a substrate surface area and includes an upper surface and a side surface joined therewith to define a corner region. The corner region of the conductive projection is subsequently beveled to increase an alignment tolerance relative thereto. In another implementation, a conductive plug is formed over a substrate node location between a pair of conductive lines and has an uppermost surface. Material of the conductive plug is unevenly removed to define a second uppermost surface, at least a portion of which is disposed elevationally higher than a conductive line. In one aspect, conductive plug material can be removed by facet etching the conductive plug. In another aspect, conductive plug material is unevenly doped with dopant, and conductive plug material containing greater concentrations of dopant is etched at a greater rate than plug material containing lower concentrations of dopant.
