摘要:
A bipolar transistor (100) and a method for forming the same. A base-link diffusion source layer (118) is formed over a portion of the collector region (102). The base-link diffusion source layer (118) comprises a material that is capable of being used as a dopant source and is capable of being etched selectively with respect to silicon. A barrier layer (119) is formed over the base-link diffusion source layer (118). A base electrode (114) is formed over at least one end portion of the barrier layer (119) and base-link diffusion source layer (118) and the exposed portions of the barrier layer (119) and underlying base-link diffusion source layer (118) are removed. An extrinsic base region (110) is diffused from the base electrode (114) and a base link-up region (112) is diffused from the base-link diffusion source layer (118). Processing may then continue to form an intrinsic base region (108), emitter region (126), and emitter electrode (124).

摘要:
An embodiment of the instant invention is a method of fabricating a semiconductor device which includes a dielectric layer situated between a conductive structure and a semiconductor substrate, the method comprising the steps of: forming the dielectric layer (layer 14) on the semiconductor substrate (substrate 12); forming the conductive structure (structure 18) on the dielectric layer; doping the conductive structure with boron; and doping the conductive structure with a dopant which inhibits the diffusion of boron. The semiconductor device may be a PMOS transistor or a capacitor. Preferably, the conductive structure is a gate structure. The dielectric layer is, preferably, comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of: an oxide, an oxide/oxide stack, an oxide/nitride stack, and an oxynitride. Preferably, the dopant which inhibits the diffusion of boron comprises at least one group III or group IV element. More specifically, it is preferably comprised of: carbon, germanium, and any combination thereof. Preferably, the steps of doping the conductive structure with boron and doping the conductive structure with a dopant which inhibits the diffusion of boron are accomplished substantially simultaneously, or the step of doping the conductive structure with boron is preformed prior to the step of doping the conductive structure with a dopant which inhibits the diffusion of boron are accomplished substantially simultaneously.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for semiconductor device fabrication in which dopants are selectively implanted into transistor gate structures to counteract or compensate for dopant depletion during subsequent fabrication processing. A patterned implant mask is formed over a semiconductor device, which exposes at least a portion of the gate structure and covers the remaining upper surfaces of the device. Thereafter, dopants are selectively implanted in to the exposed gate structure.

Methods are disclosed for semiconductor device fabrication in which MOS transistor gates are to be formed. Polysilicon gate structures and sidewall spacers are formed, with upper portions of the gate sidewalls exposed. Angled implantation processing is employed to impart dopants to the top and exposed sidewall portions of the gate structure to mitigate poly depletion.

摘要:
A bipolar transistor (100) and a method for forming the same. A diffusion source dielectric layer (118) is deposited over a semiconductor body (101). An emitter window (116) is then etched through the diffusion source dielectric layer (118). An extrinsic base region (110) is diffused from the diffusion source dielectric layer (118). The intrinsic base region (108) is then implanted. Base-emitter spacers (120) are then formed followed by the emitter electrode (124) and emitter region (126). The extrinsic base region (110) is self-aligned to the emitter eliminating the alignment tolerances for the lateral diffusion of the extrinsic base implant and an extrinsic base implant.
