    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: 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 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: A process for fabricating an isolated silicon on insulator (SOI) field effect transistor (FET) (10, 11, 13, 15). The SOI FET is made on a substrate material (12). In one form, a first control electrode referred to as gate (24), is contained within the substrate (12) underlying a dielectric layer (14). A second control electrode referred to as gate (26) overlies a dielectric layer (28). A source and a drain current electrode are formed from a germanium-silicon layer (18). A silicon layer (16) forms an isolated channel region of the SOI FET. The gates (12, 24) are separated from the channel by gate dielectric layers (14, 28). The germanium-silicon layer (18) is much thicker than the silicon layer (16) which is made thin to provide a thin channel region. An optional nitride layer 20 overlies the germanium-silicon layer (18).

    摘要: An improved LDD CMOS fabrication is disclosed which uses a reduced number of processing steps. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a silicon substrate is provided which has first and second surface regions of opposite conductivity type. First and second silicon gate electrodes overlie the first and second surface regions, respectively. A dopant source layer containing dopant impurities of the first conductivity type is deposited over the first and second gate electrodes. This dopant source layer is patterned to form sidewall spacers at the edges of the first silicon gate electrode. Those sidewall spacers are used in the formation of the LDD structure on the devices formed in the first surface region. After removing the sidewall spacers, the structure is heated to diffuse dopant impurities from the dopant source layer into the second surface region to form source and drain regions of transistors formed in that region. The only lithography step needed in this portion of the process is one to protect the dopant source layer over the second region while sidewall spacers are being formed in the first region.
