A method of manufacturing a mask ROM. A sacrificial silicon oxide layer is formed on the active region upon the substrate. Patterning the sacrificial silicon oxide layer in order to form a plurality of parallel openings, thereby exposing a portion of the active region. A polysilicon layer is formed on the openings and openings are formed thereon. An ion implantation process is performed on the polysilicon layer. Using a thermal flow process, the ions within the polysilicon layer are driven through the openings into the lower portion of the substrate, thereby forming an ion doping region. The polysilicon layer is etchbacked until the sacrificial silicon oxide layer is exposed. The sacrificial silicon oxide layer is removed.

A method of manufacturing the metallic electrodes of a capacitor in a mixed mode semiconductor device. The method comprises the steps of providing a substrate having a conductive layer and the lower electrode of a capacitor formed thereon, and then depositing a dielectric layer over the substrate.

The first opening exposes a portion of the conductive layer while the second opening exposes a portion of the lower electrode. Finally, a conductive plug and the upper electrode of the capacitor are formed in the respective first and second openings that are in corresponding positions above the conductive layer and lower electrode, respectively.

A method of forming metallic capacitor. The method includes forming a lower electrode for forming the capacitor and a metal conductive line over an inter-layer dielectric such that there are gaps between and on the sides of the lower electrode and the metal conductive line. Thereafter, a first oxide layer is formed that fills the gap, and then a second oxide layer is formed over the inter-layer dielectric. The second oxide layer is later patterned to form a cap oxide layer having an opening that exposes a portion of the lower electrode. Subsequently, a thin dielectric layer is formed over the lower electrode and the cap oxide layer. Finally, an upper electrode is formed over the thin dielectric layer filling the opening.
Abstract:
A process for fabricating a mixed signal integrated circuit on a substrate, wherein the substrate is partially covered with a field oxide layer. An oxide layer is formed over a portion of the substrate, wherein the portion of the substrate is not covered with the field oxide layer. First impurities are implanted into the substrate, wherein the first impurities damage the oxide layer. A buffer layer is formed over the oxide layer. A polysilicon layer is formed over the buffer layer. Second impurities are implanted into the polysilicon layer, wherein the buffer layer prevents the oxide layer form being damaged by the second impurities. The polysilicon layer is etched to remove the polysilicon layer, wherein the buffer layer prevents the oxide layer and the substrate from being etched. The portion of buffer layer and the damaged oxide layer over the substrate are removed. The gate oxide layer is formed over the substrate.

A protective layer is formed between every dielectric layer.
