    摘要: An in-line non-destructive method is described for identifying phases in a micro-structure such as a fine line pattern. This is accomplished by observing the Raman spectrum of the micro-structure. A particular application is a silicide layer, prepared using the SALICIDE process, where the crystal phases before and after Rapid Thermal Anneal are often different. This is reflected by the appearance of different lines in the Raman spectra so that the fraction of each phase can be determined. If the silicide layer agglomerated during the anneal, this is also detected by the Raman spectrum. The method has been used successfully down to line widths of about 0.35 microns.

    摘要: A method for making low sheet resistance sub-quarter-micrometer gate electrode lengths on field effect transistors has been achieved. The method involves patterning gate electrodes on a silicon substrate from a conductively doped polysilicon layer having a silicon nitride layer on the surface. After forming the FET lightly doped drains (LDD), the sidewall spacers, and the heavily doped source/drain contact regions with titanium contacts, an insulating layer is chemically/mechanically polished back to the silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride on the gate electrode layer to form a planar self-aligning mask. A pre-amorphizing implantation is carried out, and a titanium silicide is selectively formed on the gate electrodes resulting in small grain sizes and much reduced sheet resistance. The self-aligned mask prevents ion implant damage to the shallow source/drain regions adjacent to the FET gate electrodes. A second embodiment uses the self-aligned mask to form selectively a cobalt silicide on the polysilicon gate electrodes for low sheet resistance, while preventing the cobalt silicide from reacting with the adjacent titanium silicide source/drain regions.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a capacitor in a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is doped to have a low resistivity. A second electrode, insulated from a first electrode, is formed over a front side surface and connected by a metal-filled via to the back side surface. The via may be omitted and the second electrode may be in electrical contact with the substrate or may be formed on top of the dielectric layer, yielding a pair of series-connected capacitors. ESD protection for the capacitor is provided by a pair of oppositely-directed diodes formed in the substrate connected in parallel with the capacitor. Capacitance is increased while maintaining a low effective series resistance. Electrodes include a plurality of fingers, which are interdigitated with the fingers of other electrode. The capacitor is fabricated in a wafer-scale process with other capacitors, where capacitors are separated from each other by a dicing technique.

    摘要: A method for forming within a Field Effect Transistor (FET) for use within an integrated circuit a polycide gate electrode. There is first provided a semiconductor substrate. Formed upon the semiconductor is a patterned polysilicon layer. Formed then upon the semiconductor substrate and the patterned polysilicon layer is a blanket insulator layer. The blanket insulator layer is then patterned through planarizing to form a patterned planarized insulator layer while simultaneously exposing the surface of the patterned polysilicon layer. Finally, there is formed upon the exposed surface of the patterned polysilicon layer a patterned metal silicide layer. The patterned metal silicide layer and the patterned polysilicon layer form a polycide gate electrode. The metal silicide layer within the polycide gate electrode is not susceptible to encroachment upon adjoining insulator spacers or source/drain regions within the Field Effect Transistor (FET) within which is formed the polycide gate electrode.

    摘要: A precision high-frequency capacitor includes a dielectric layer formed on the front side surface of a semiconductor substrate and a first electrode on top of the dielectric layer. The semiconductor substrate is heavily doped and therefore has a low resistivity. A second electrode, insulated from the first electrode, is also formed over the front side surface. In one embodiment, the second electrode is connected by a metal-filled via to a layer of conductive material on the back side of the substrate. In alternative embodiments, the via is omitted and the second electrode is either in electrical contact with the substrate or is formed on top of the dielectric layer, yielding a pair of series-connected capacitors. ESD protection for the capacitor can be provided by a pair of oppositely-directed diodes formed in the substrate and connected in parallel with the capacitor. To increase the capacitance of the capacitor while maintaining a low effective series resistance, each of the electrodes may include a plurality of fingers, which are interdigitated with the fingers of the other electrode. The capacitor is preferably fabricated in a wafer-scale process concurrently with numerous other capacitors on the wafer, and the capacitors are then separated from each other by a conventional dicing technique.

    摘要: A method is described for filling trenches in a substrate for shallow trench isolation or for a metal damascene structure which will prevent dishing when the substrate is planarized using chemical mechanical polishing. Trenches are formed in the substrate. A layer of first material is formed on the substrate, sidewalls of the trench, and bottom of the trench. A layer of second material is then formed on the layer of first material. The substrate is then planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing. The first material, second material, and parameters of the chemical mechanical polishing are chosen so that the removal rate of the first material is greater than the removal rate of the second material. The chemical mechanical polishing then results in a planar substrate with no dishing.
