    摘要: In forming a lightly-doped drain (LDD) transistor there is first formed a thin polysilicon layer over a gate oxide on an active region. A masking layer is deposited and selectively etched to expose a middle portion of the polysilicon layer. This structure can be used as part of a process which results ina formation of an inverse-T transistor or a conventional LDD structure which is formed by disposable sidewall spacers. The exposed middle portion of the polysilicon layer is used to form a polysilicon gate by selective polysilicon deposition. The exposed middle portion can be implanted through for the channel implant, thus providing self-alignment to the source/drain implants. Sidewall spacers can be formed inside the exposed portion to reduce the channel length. These sidewall spacers can be nitride to provide etching selectivity between the sidewall spacer and the conveniently used low temperature oxide (LTO) mask.

    摘要: A process for forming isolation regions (20) having a self-aligned channel-stop (22) formed by implanting dopant atoms (24) through the isolation regions (22). An isolation mask (15) is formed over an active region (16) in a semiconductor substrate (10). The isolation mask can be constructed from a variety of materials including silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, boron nitride, polysilicon, and germanium oxide. Thick isolation regions (20) are formed on either side of the isolation mask (15) and an ion implant process is carried out to form doped regions (22) in the substrate (10) immediately below the isolation regions (20). The isolation mask (15) prevents dopant atoms (24) from entering the active region (16) of the substrate (10).

    摘要: A process for the fabrication of elevated source/drain IGFET devices is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the process, a silicon substrate is provided which is divided into active and field regions by a field oxide. A gate oxide is formed over the active region and a thin layer of polycrystalline silicon and a thick layer of silicon nitride are deposited on the gate oxide. The polycrystalline silicon and the silicon nitride are etched to form a stacked structure, with the spacers having substantially the same height as the stacked structure, in the pattern of the gate electrode. Sidewall spacers are formed on the edges of the stacked structure and the silicon nitride is removed. Polycrystalline silicon is then deposited onto the polycrystalline silicon and the exposed portions of the source and drain regions to complete the gate electrode and to form the source and drain electrodes. The selectively deposited polycrystalline silicon extends upwardly from the source and drain regions onto the field oxide. The sidewall spacers provide physical and electrical isolation between the gate electrode and the adjacent source and drain electrodes.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a self-aligned trench structure in a semiconductor device is disclosed. In accordance with one method for fabricating the trench structure, an oxidation resistant material having an opening is used as a masking layer. The edge of the opening in the masking layer is covered by a sidewall spacer which protects a portion of the substrate from attack by the etchant used to form the trench. The trench is filled with a trench fill material by selective deposition using a seeding material formed on the sidewall of the trench as a nucleation site. After the trench is filled, the sidewall spacer is removed and the underlying substrate is oxidized to form an electrical insulation region around the upper portion of the trench. The mask layer is removed and the remaining substrate is doped using the insulation region surrounding the trench as a dopant mask.

    摘要: An LDD transistor is formed by using a process which insures that a layer of gate oxide is not inadvertently etched into and is not ruptured by static electrical charges. At least two thicknesses of gate electrode material of varying doping levels are formed over a layer of gate oxide which is above a semiconductor substrate. A chemical etch is utilized wherein by monitoring a ratio of chemical product and chemical reactant of the chemical etch reactions, specific endpoints in the etching of the gate electrode material can be easily detected. A small layer of gate electrode material is allowed to remain over the gate oxide layer during ion implanting and the formation and removal of gate sidewall spacers used in fabricating an LDD transistor. After formation of most of the LDD transistor, the remaining protective thickness of gate electrode material is removed and the exposed gate oxide layer is exposed to a final oxidizing anneal step. In other forms, an inverse-T gate structure LDD transistor is formed, and an LDD transistor is formed via a process having a reduced number of ion implants steps.

    摘要: An erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) cell having a floating gate and a control gate where the floating gate and the control gate are deliberately offset or asymmetrical from the source/drain and drain/source regions in the substrate. During programming, the source region is the one spaced apart from the gates while the drain region is aligned thereto. This orientation produces high gate currents to provide faster programming. During a read operation the aligned region now becomes the source and the spaced apart region becomes the drain to provide high drain currents for fast access. The asymmetrical EPROM cells of the present invention may be readily made using conventional spacer technology.

    摘要: A compact, multi-state field effect transistor (FET) cell having a gate with edge portions of a different conductivity type than a central portion of the gate. Both the edge portions and the central portion extend from the source to the drain of the multi-state FET device. This device would have two different threshold voltages (V.sub.T), one where the central portion would turn on first, followed by the edges for the entire gate width to be active to give a second level of current flow. Such devices would be useful in building very compact or high density multi-state read-only-memories (ROMs).
