    摘要: A new method for forming a cobalt disilicide film on shallow junctions with reduced silicon consumption in the fabrication of an integrated circuit is described. A semiconductor substrate is provided having silicon regions to be silicided. A cobalt layer is deposited overlying the semiconductor substrate and subjected to a first rapid thermal process whereby the cobalt is transformed to cobalt monosilicide where it overlies the silicon regions and wherein the cobalt not overlying the silicon regions is unreacted. The unreacted cobalt layer is removed. A dielectric layer is deposited overlying the substrate and the cobalt monosilicide layer. Silicon ions are implanted through the dielectric layer into the cobalt monosilicide layer. The substrate is subjected to a second rapid thermal process whereby the cobalt monosilicide is transformed to cobalt disilicide wherein the silicon ions implanted into the cobalt monosilicide layer act as a main (not sole) silicon source for the transformation to complete formation of a cobalt disilicide film in the manufacture of an integrated circuit.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a transistor, comprising the following steps. A silicon semiconductor substrate having a pad oxide portion within an active area is provided. A polysilicon layer is deposited over the silicon semiconductor substrate and over the pad oxide portion. A pad oxide layer is deposited over the polysilicon layer. Shallow isolation trench regions are formed on either side of the active area. The pad oxide layer is removed. The polysilicon layer is etched and removed over the pad oxide portion leaving polysilicon portions between the pad oxide portion and the shallow isolation trench regions. The pad oxide portion is replaced with a gate oxide portion. A gate conductor, having exposed side walls, is formed over the gate oxide portion and between the polysilicon portions. Sidewall spacers are formed on the exposed side walls of the gate conductor with the sidewall spacers contacting the polysilicon portions. Source/drain regions are formed in the active area under the sidewall spacers and under the polysilicon portions. A salicide portion is formed over the gate conductor and salicide portions are formed over the polysilicon portions, whereby the formation of the salicide layers over the polysilicon portions consumes a portion of the polysilicon portions leaving the remainder of the polysilicon layers to form shallow source/drain junctions underneath the polysilicon portion salicide portions.

    摘要: A method for forming a raised source and drain structure without using selective epitaxial silicon growth. A semiconductor substrate is provided having one or more gate areas covered by dielectric structures. Doped polysilicon structures are adjacent to the dielectric structures on each side and are co-planar with the dielectric structures from a CMP process. The first dielectric structures are removed to form gate openings and a liner oxide layer is formed on the bottom and sidewalls of the gate openings. Dielectric spacers are formed on the liner oxide layer over the sidewalls of the gate openings, and the liner oxide layer is removed from the bottom of the gate openings and from over the doped polysilicon structures. Source and drain regions are formed in the semiconductor substrate by diffusing impurity ions from the doped polysilicon layer. A gate oxide layer and a gate polysilicon layer are formed over the semiconductor structure and the gate polysilicon layer is planarized to form a gate electrode. In a key step, the dielectric spacers are removed to form spacer openings, and impurity ions are implanted through the spacer openings and annealed to form source and drain extensions. The dielectric spacers are reformed and a self-aligned silicide layer is formed on the doped polysilicon structure and the gate electrode. Alternatively, the self-aligned silicide layer can be formed prior to removing the dielectric spacers and implanting ions to form source and drain extensions.

    摘要: A method to form a closely-spaced, vertical NMOS and PMOS transistor pair in an integrated circuit device is achieved. A substrate comprise silicon implanted oxide (SIMOX) wherein an oxide layer is sandwiched between underlying and overlying silicon layers. Ions are selectively implanted into a first part of the overlying silicon layer to form a drain, channel region, and source for an NMOS transistor. The drain is formed directly overlying the oxide layer, the channel region is formed overlying the drain, and the source is formed overlying the channel region. Ions are selectively implanted into a second part of the overlying silicon layer to form a drain, channel region, and source for a PMOS transistor. The drain is formed directly overlying the oxide layer, the PMOS channel region is formed overlying the drain, and the source is formed overlying the channel region. The PMOS transistor drain is in contact with said NMOS transistor drain. A gate trench is etched through the NMOS and PMOS sources and channel regions. The gate trench terminates at the NMOS and PMOS drains and exposes the sidewalls of the NMOS and PMOS channel regions. A gate oxide layer is formed overlying the NMOS and PMOS channel regions and lining the gate trench. A polysilicon layer is deposited and etched back to form polysilicon sidewalls and to thereby form gates for the closely-spaced, vertical NMOS and PMOS transistor pair.

    摘要: A method for forming a transistor having low overlap capacitance by forming a microtrench at the gate edge to reduce effective dielectric constant is described. A gate electrode is provided overlying a gate dielectric layer on a substrate and having a hard mask layer thereover. An oxide layer is formed overlying the substrate. First spacers are formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode and overlying the oxide layer. Source/drain extensions are implanted. Second spacers are formed on the first spacers. Source/drain regions are implanted. A dielectric layer is deposited overlying the gate electrode and the oxide layer and planarized to the hard mask layer whereby the first and second spacers are exposed. The exposed second spacers and underlying oxide layer are removed. The exposed substrate underlying the second spacers is etched into to form a microtrench undercutting the gate oxide layer at an edge of the gate electrode. The microtrench is filled with an epitaxial oxide layer and planarized to the hard mask layer. The dielectric layer is patterned to form third spacers on the epitaxial oxide layer. The microtrench reduces the effective dielectric constant at the overlap between the gate and the source/drain extensions to complete formation of a transistor having low overlap capacitance.
