摘要:
A multi-cellular power field effect semiconductor device includes a high conductivity layer of metal or a metal silicide disposed in intimate contact with the source region of the device. This high conductivity layer is self-aligned with respect to the aperture in the gate electrode through which the source region is diffused. The presence of this high conductivity layer allows a substantially smaller contact window to be employed for making contact between the final metallization and the source region. As a consequence, the aperture in the gate electrode and the cell size of the device can both be substantially reduced. The device has substantially improved operating characteristics. A method of producing the device is also described.
摘要:
A metal for fabricating contact structures through via openings in VLSI circuits employs a dual layer of refractory metal. A thin titanium layer is deposited, over which a molybdenum layer is formed. An annealing treatment further improves contact resistance characteristics. The method results in a contact structure which exhibits desirable properties of thermal compatibility, step coverage, contact resistance and improved processing characteristics.
摘要:
A capacitor structure which is particularly suitable for use in analog integrated circuit devices employs an intermediate layer of a refractory metal disposed in a thin layer overlying a flat dielectric surface. The thinness and the low reflectivity of the refractory metal facilitates precise patterning of the upper plate of the capacitor structure. In the present invention, capacitance is no longer determined by imprecise cuts through thick oxide layers or by patterning of thick metallization layers within these apertures. The use of refractory metals in the capacitor structure also readily permits the incorporation of resistive circuit elements.

摘要:
Molybdenum gate electrode material is provided with an upper layer of molybdenum nitride which acts to prevent deposition of source and drain contact metal by selective chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The nitride layer also provides an improved mask for ion implantation process steps. This results in an FET structure exhibiting a high degree of planarity which is desirable for multilevel device fabrication.

A semiconductor device of improved ruggedness is provided which comprises a semiconductor substrate having a region of a first conductivity type on a major surface thereof; a first base region of opposite conductivity type formed selectively within said regions of first conductivity type; a second base region of opposite conductivity type formed selectively within said first base region and having a higher impurity concentration than that of said first base region; a source region of one conductivity type formed within said first and second base regions and overlying said second base region; and a polysilicon gate electrode opposed to a channel region with a gate insulating layer interposed therebetween; wherein the second base region and the source region are formed substantially entirely within the first base region; the second base region is smaller in depth than the first base region and is formed at a distance sufficiently close to the channel region to effectively reduce parasitic resistance in the first base region, the lateral edges of the second base region being substantially aligned with the lateral edges of the gate electrode; the first base region and the source region are formed by sequential implantation through the polysilicon gate electrode region using the polysilicon gate electrode as a self-aligned mask, followed by implantation of the second base region without substantial lateral diffusion using the polysilicon gate electrode as a mask; and the polysilicon gate electrode is of a thickness sufficient to mask for selected depths of implantation in the first base region.

A composite conductive structure which includes an insulating substrate on which is provided a conductor of molybdenum covered by a layer of molybdenum nitride and a method of making the structure are described. The method includes heating the conductor of molybdenum in an atmosphere of ammonia in the range from about 400.degree. C. to 850.degree. C. for a time to cause the atmosphere to react with the conductor to convert a portion of the conductor into molybdenum nitride.
