    摘要: A method for forming an electrical interconnect overlying a buried contact region of a substrate is characterized by a deposition of a first polycrystalline silicon layer and the patterning and etching of same to form a via. The via is formed in the first polycrystalline silicon layer to expose the substrate and a second polycrystalline silicon layer is formed in the via to contact the substrate. Portions of the second polycrystalline silicon layer overlying the first polycrystalline silicon layer are removed eliminating any horizontal interface between the two polycrystalline silicon layers. The first polycrystalline silicon layer remaining after the etch is then patterned to form an electrical interconnect.

    摘要: A process for forming within a masking layer a self-aligned annular opening having a width that is substantially narrower than the space width that can be created directly using the maximum resolution of available photolithography. The process involves the following steps: creation of a mask island using conventional photomasking and etching techniques, the perimeter of said island defining the inner perimeter of the perimetric annular opening; blanket deposition of a spacer layer, the thickness of which is equal to the desired width of the annular opening; a blanket deposition of a thick protective layer that is independently etchable over the spacer layer; planarization of the protection layer to or below the top of the spacer layer; and isotropically etching the exposed spacer layer to form a narrow annular opening exposing the substrate. At this point the exposed substrate may be trenched in order to isolate the area definedd by the island, or it may be fabricated in some other configuration. This method of forming an annular opening within a mask region results in a narrow annular opening that is self-aligned with the mask island and the non-etched spacer layer. Subsequent trench fabrication has the self-alignment features of the narrow annular opening. Both the position and width of the narrow annular opening, and therefore the trench, are highly predictable and the method requires minimum masking steps. The narrowness of the annular opening also maximizes die space.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit on a wafer includes forming a gate electrode stack over a gate dielectric and forming nitride spacers along sidewalls of the gate electrode stack other than along lowermost portions of the sidewalls. Subsequently, a reoxidation process is performed with respect to the gate dielectric. By providing the nitride spacers along exposed surfaces of conductive barrier and metal layers of the word line stack, those surfaces can be passivated, thereby preventing or reducing the conversion of those layers to non-conductive compounds during the reoxidation process. At the same time, the nitride spacers can be formed so that they do not interfere with the subsequent reoxidation of the gate dielectric. An integrated circuit having a gate electrode stack with nitride spacers extending along sidewalls of the gate electrode stack other than along lowermost portions of the sidewalls is also disclosed.
