    摘要: A new integrated circuit structure, wherein a TiN thin film layer 129 and another patterned thin film layer 124 preferably comprising polysilicon are separated (in some locations) by a thin dielectric 132 to define capacitors. At various other locations, the TiN layers 129 also makes contact to the polysilicon layer 124 (which will be silicide-clad at these locations), makes contact to n+ substrate regions 134 and p+ substrate regions 136, and also to provide a contact pad for a third patterned thin film conductor layer which overlies the other two. One important class of embodiments provides a floating-memory cell. wherein the floating gate 120 is made of polysilicon, but the control gate 142 consists predominantly of titanium nitride. A novel process for forming the titanium nitride control gate 142 and simultaneously forming titanium nitride local interconnect lines 149 is also disclosed.

    摘要: An integrated circuit including doubled capacitors (metal/dielectric/TiN/dielectric/polysilicon). This structure is preferably made using a patterned interlevel oxide/nitride layer to split a polycide layer, i.e. at some locations the polycide layer has low sheet resistance and at other locations the polycide layer is vertically split to provide two layers (TiN and unsilicided polysilicon), which are separated by the interlevel oxide/nitride. A double contact etch is used before the first metal interconnect layer is deposited, so that the metal makes ohmic contact to underlying silicide or silicon or TiN in some locations, and in others provides insulated metal top plates over TiN/polysilicon capacitance to provide doubled capacitors.

    摘要: A local interconnect system for VLSI integrated circuits. During self-aligned silicidation of exposed moat and gate regions in a nitrogen atmosphere, a conductive titanium nitride layer is formed overall. A second titanium layer is then deposited overall and again reacted, to thicken the nitride layer without increasing the thickness of the silicide layers. This conductive layer is patterned and etched to provide local interconnects with a sheet resistance of the order to ten ohms per square, and also etch stops. Moreover, this local interconnect level permits contacts to be misaligned with the moat boundary, since the titanium nitride local interconnect layer can be overlapped from the moat up on to the field oxide to provide a bottom contact and diffusion barrier for a contact hole which is subsequently etched through the interlevel oxide. This local interconnect capability fulfills all of the functions which a buried contact capability fulfill, and fulfills other functions as well.

    摘要: A local interconnect system for VLSI integrated circuits. During self-aligned silicidation of exposed moat and gate regions in a nitrogen atmosphere, a conductive titanium nitride layer is formed overall. Normally this conductive layer is stripped to avoid shorting out devices. However, the present invention patterns this conductive layer, thereby providing a local interconnect with the sheet resistance of the order of one ohm per square. Moreover, this local interconnect level permits contacts to be misaligned with the moat boundary, since the titanium nitride local interconnect layer can be overlapped from the moat up on to the field oxide to provide a bottom contact and diffusion barrier for a contact hole which is subsequently etched through the interlevel oxide. This local interconnect level fulfills all of the functions which a buried contact layer could fulfill, and fulfills other functions as well.
