    摘要: A self-aligned, under-gated TFT device (10). A base layer (14) is formed. A conductive layer (16) is formed overlying the base layer (14). A dielectric layer (18) is formed overlying the conductive layer (16). A sacrificial layer (20) is formed overlying the dielectric layer (18). The layers (16, 18, and 20) are etched to form a "pillar" region. A dielectric layer (22) and a planar layer (24), which both overlie the "pillar" region, are etched back to form a substantially planar surface and expose a top portion of the sacrificial layer (20). The sacrificial layer (20) is removed and a conductive layer (28) is formed overlying conductive region (16) and planar layer (22). Conductive layer (28) is used to form a self-aligned TFT device (10) via the formation of a source region (33) and a drain region (34) adjacent an aligned plug region (32).

    摘要: A thin-film transistor and SRAM memory cell include thin-film source and drain regions (12, 14) separated by an opening (22) and overlying and insulating layer (11). A thin-film channel layer (16) overlies the thin-film source and drain regions (12, 14) and a portion of the insulating layer (11) exposed by the opening (22). A thin-film gate electrode (20) is positioned in the opening (22) and defines a thin-film channel region (24) in the thin-film channel layer (16). The thin-film gate electrode (20) is separated from the thin-film channel region (24) by a gate dielectric layer (18). The thin-film channel region (24) extends along vertical wall surfaces (26, 28) of the thin-film source and drain regions (12, 14) providing an extended channel length for the thin-film transistor.

    摘要: An interconnect structure is formed having a substrate (10). A conductive layer (14) is formed overlying the substrate (10). A conductive layer (18) is formed overlying the conductive layer (14). An opening (19) is etched through the conductive layer (18), exposing a top portion of conductive layer (14), and forming a sidewall of the conductive layer (18). An selective isotropic etch procedure is used to laterally recess the sidewall of the conductive layer (18). A sidewall spacer (22) is formed adjacent the sidewall of the conductive layer (18). A conductive layer (24) is formed within opening (19) and adjacent the spacer (22) to form an interconnection between conductive layers (24 and 14). The interconnection is self-aligned, and conductive layer (18) is reliably isolated from the interconnect due to the lateral recessed sidewall of the conductive layer (18).

    摘要: An under-gated thin film transistor (54) having low leakage current and a high on/off current ratio is formed using a composite layer (40) of semiconducting material. In one embodiment a composite layer (40) of semiconducting layer is formed by depositing two distinct layers (34, 38) of semiconducting material over the transistor gate electrode (18). The composite layer (40) is then patterned and implanted with ions to form a source region (46) and a drain region (48) within the composite layer (40), and to define a channel region (50) and an offset drain region (52) within the composite layer (40).

    摘要: A thin film transistor with self-aligned source and drain regions is fabricated, in one embodiment, by forming an opening (124) in a dielectric layer (118) which overlies a substrate (116). A semiconductive sidewall spacer (130) is formed around the perimeter (126) of the opening (124) and adjacent to the sidewall (128) of the opening (124). A first electrode region (120) is electrically coupled to a first portion of the semiconductive sidewall spacer (130) at a first location along the perimeter (126) of the opening (124) which lies only in the second lateral half of the opening (124). A second electrode region (122) is electrically coupled to a second portion of the semiconductive sidewall spacer (130) at a second location along the perimeter (126) of the opening (124) which lies only in the first lateral half of the opening (124). A dielectric layer (132) is formed adjacent to the semiconductive sidewall spacer (130). A control electrode (134) is formed adjacent to the dielectric layer (132).
