    摘要: A method of photolithographically forming an integrated circuit feature, such as a conductive structure, for example a gate electrode (15), or such as a patterned insulator feature, is disclosed. A critical dimension (CD) for a photolithography process defines a minimum line width of photoresist or other masking material that may be patterned by the process. A photomask (20, 30, 40, 50, 60) has a mask feature (25, 35, 45, 55, 65) that has varying width portions along its length. The wider portions have a width (L1) that is at or above the critical dimension of the process, while the narrower portions have a width (L2) that is below the critical dimension of the process. In the case of a patterned etch of a conductor, photoexposure and etching of conductive material using the photomask (20, 30, 40, 50, 60) defines a gate electrode (15) for a transistor (10) that has a higher drive current than a transistor having a uniform gate width at the critical dimension.

    摘要: A method for controlled oxide growth on transistor gates. A first film (40) is formed on a semiconductor substrate (10). The film is implanted with a first species and patterned to form a transistor gate (45) . The transistor gate (45) and the semiconductor substrate (10) is implanted with a second species and the transistor gate (45) oxidized to produce an oxide film (80) on the side surface of the transistor gate (45).

    摘要: A system for fabricating an integrated circuit is disclosed that includes providing a semiconductor substrate (10), and forming a gate oxide layer (12) on an active area on the substrate. A polysilicon gate (14) is formed, on top of the gate oxide, by etching. Etch damage (16) on the substrate surface is repaired by anneal in an inert gas environment—e.g., He, Ne, N2, Ar gas, or combinations thereof.

    摘要: A low power transistor (70, 70′) formed in a face of a semiconductor layer (86) of a first conductivity type. The transistor includes a source and drain regions (76, 78) of a second conductivity type formed in the face of the semiconductor layer, and a gate (72) insulatively disposed adjacent the face of the semiconductor layer and between the source and drain regions. A layer of counter doping (80, 80′) of the second conductivity type is formed adjacent to the face of the semiconductor layer generally between the source and drain regions. A first and second pockets (82, 84, 82′, 84′) of the first conductivity type may also be formed generally adjacent to the source and drain regions and the counter doped layer (80, 80′).
