摘要： An improved and new structure and method for forming a guard ring in an integrated circuit having at least one level of polysilicon wiring has been developed. The guard ring is formed without necessitating additional manufacturing process steps and the guard ring is bonded to the semiconductor substrate, thereby providing a superior barrier to diffusion of moisture and contaminants from a window in the insulating layers to the semiconductor device regions.

摘要： An SRAM device has STI regions separated by mesas and doped regions including source/drain regions, active areas, wordline conductors and contacts in a semiconductor substrate is made with a source region has 90° transitions in critical locations. Form a dielectric layer above the active areas. Form the wordline conductors above the active areas transverse to the active areas. The source and drain regions of a pass gate transistor are on the opposite sides of a wordline conductor. Form the sidewalls along the crystal plane. Form the contacts extending down through to the dielectric layer to the mesas. Substrate stress is reduced because the large active area region formed in the substrate assures that the contacts are formed on the surfaces of the mesas are in contact with the mesas formed on the substrate and that the surfaces of the silicon of the mesas are shielded from the contacts.

摘要： The present invention provides a novel method for fabricating a buried contact extending under the first conductive layer 16 and subjacent first insulating layer 14. A first insulating layer 14 and a first conductive layer are formed over a silicon substrate 10 having isolation structures 12. A photoresist mask 18A having a buried contact opening 20 is formed over the first conductive layer. The first conductive layer 16 and the first insulating layer 14 are etched through the photoresist mask 18A. A width 21 of the photoresist mask 18A adjacent to the buried contact opening 20 is removed using a descum process, thereby forming an expanded opening 20A and an exposed ring 16A of the first conductive layer 16 with subjacent first insulating layer 14. Impurity ions 23 are implanted through the expanded opening 20A at a sufficient energy level to form a novel buried contact region 22 comprising an extended buried contact region 22A extending under the exposed ring 16A of the first conductive layer 16 and an exposed area 22B where the first conductive layer and the first insulating layer were removed. The photoresist mask 18A is removed. A second conductive layer 24 and a polycide layer 26 are formed over the first conductive layer 16 and over the exposed area 22B of the buried contact region 22. The polycide layer 26, the second conductive layer 24, the first conductive layer 16 and the first insulating layer 14 are patterned to form a second opening 30 partially overlapping the extended buried contact region and defining a gate structure 31 and a contact structure 33. Lightly doped source/drain regions 32, sidewall spacers 34, and source/drain structures 38 are formed.

摘要： A new method of forming an improved buried contact junction is described. A gate oxide layer is provided over the surface of a semiconductor substrate. A first polysilicon layer is deposited over the gate oxide layer. A photoresist mask is formed over the first polysilicon layer having an opening over the planned buried contact. The first polysilicon layer not covered by the photoresist mask is etched away. A portion of the photoresist mask at the edges of the opening is cut away to expose a portion of the first polysilicon layer at the edges of the opening. The gate oxide layer not covered by the mask is etched away using a reduced etching selectivity of oxide to silicon so that an upper portion of the first polysilicon layer exposed at the edges of the opening is etched away leaving a thinner first polysilicon layer at the edges of the opening. Ions are implanted through the opening and through the thinner first polysilicon layer into the semiconductor substrate to form the buried contact. The photoresist mask is removed and a second polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the first polysilicon layer and the buried contact to complete formation of the buried contact.
