    摘要: A method for fabrication of a non-symmetrical LDD-IGFET is described. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a gate insulator and a gate electrode, the gate electrode having opposing first and second sidewalls defining the length of the gate electrode and a top surface. Lightly doped source and drain regions are implanted into the semiconductor substrate and are substantially aligned with the sidewalls of the gate electrode. After implanting the lightly doped regions, first and second spacers are formed adjacent to the first and second sidewalls of the gate electrode. After forming the spacers, a portion of the gate electrode is removed to form a third sidewall of the gate electrode opposite the second sidewall, thereby eliminating the first sidewall and reducing the length of the gate electrode. After removing the first spacer, heavily doped source and drain regions are implanted into the semiconductor substrate. The heavily doped drain region is substantially aligned with the outer edge of the second spacer, a portion of the lightly doped drain region is protected beneath the second spacer, and the heavily doped source region is substantially aligned with the third sidewall. In another embodiment, the heavily doped drain region is implanted after the spacers are formed but before the third sidewall is formed and the heavily doped source region is implanted after forming the third sidewall.

    摘要: A method for isolating a first active region from a second active region, both of which are configured within a semiconductor substrate. The method comprises forming a dielectric masking layer above a semiconductor substrate. An opening is then formed through the masking layer. A pair of dielectric spacers are formed upon the sidewalls of the masking layer within the opening. A trench is then etched in the semiconductor substrate between the dielectric spacers. A first dielectric layer is then thermally grown on the walls and base of the trench. A CVD oxide is deposited into the trench and processed such that the upper surface of the CVD oxide is commensurate with the substrate surface. Portions of the spacers are also removed such that the thickness of the spacers is between about 0 to 200 Å. Silicon atoms and/or barrier atoms, such as nitrogen atoms, are then implanted ino regions of the active areas in close proximity to the trench isolation structure.

    摘要: A transistor and a transistor fabrication method for forming an LDD structure in which the n-type dopants associated with an n-channel transistor are formed prior to the formation of the p-type dopants is presented. The n-type source/drain and LDD implants generally require higher activation energy (thermal anneal) than the p-type source/drain and LDD implants. The n-type arsenic source/drain implant, which has the lowest diffusivity and requires the highest temperature anneal, is performed first in the LDD process formation. Performing such a high temperature anneal first ensures minimum additional migration of subsequent, more mobile implants. Mobile implants associated with lighter and less dense implant species are prevalent in LDD areas near the channel perimeter. The likelihood of those implants moving into the channel is lessened by tailoring subsequent anneal steps to temperatures less than the source/drain anneal step.

    摘要: An IGFET with metal spacers is disclosed. The IGFET includes a gate electrode on a gate insulator on a semiconductor substrate. Sidewall insulators are adjacent to opposing vertical edges of the gate electrode, and metal spacers are formed on the substrate and adjacent to the sidewall insulators. The metal spacers are electrically isolated from the gate electrode but contact portions of the drain and the source. Preferably, the metal spacers are adjacent to edges of the gate insulator beneath the sidewall insulators. The metal spacers are formed by depositing a metal layer over the substrate then applying an anisotropic etch. In one embodiment, the metal spacers contact lightly and heavily doped drain and source regions, thereby increasing the conductivity between the heavily doped drain and source regions and the channel underlying the gate electrode. The metal spacers can also provide low resistance drain and source contacts.

    摘要: An optical monitoring of electrical characteristics of devices in a semiconductor is performed during an anneal step to detect the time annealing is complete and activation occurs. A surface photovoltage measurement is made during annealing to monitor the charge state on the surface of a substrate wafer to determine when the substrate is fully annealed. The surface photovoltage measurement is monitored, the time of annealing is detected, and a selected over-anneal is controlled. The surface photovoltage (SPV) measurement is performed to determine a point at which a dopant or impurity such as boron or phosphorus is annealed in a silicon lattice. In some embodiments, the point of detection is used as a feedback signal in an RTA annealing system to adjust a bank of annealing lamps for annealing and activation uniformity control. The point of detection is also used to terminate the annealing process to minimize D.sub.t.

    摘要: A transistor and a transistor fabrication method are presented where a sequence of spacers are formed and partially removed upon sidewall surfaces of the gate conductor to produce a graded junction having a relatively smooth doping profile. The spacers include removable and non-removable structures formed on the sidewall surfaces. The adjacent structures have dissimilar etch characteristics compared to each other and compared to the gate conductor. A first dopant (MDD dopant) and a second dopant (source/drain dopant) are implanted into the semiconductor substrate after the respective formation of the removable structure and the non-removable structure. A third dopant (LDD dopant) is implanted into the semiconductor substrate after the removable layer is removed from between the gate conductor and the non-removable structure (spacer). As a result a graded junction is created having higher concentration regions formed outside of lightly concentration regions, relative to the channel area. Such a doping profile provides superior protection against the hot-carrier effect compared to the traditional LDD structure. The smoother the doping profile, the more gradual the voltage drop across the channel/drain junction. A more gradual voltage drop gives rise to a smaller electric field and reduces the hot-carrier effect. Furthermore, the MDD and source/drain implants are performed first, prior to the LDD implant. This allows high-temperature thermal anneals to be performed first, followed by lower temperature anneals second.

    摘要: A local interconnect (LI) structure is formed by forming a silicide layer in selected regions of a semiconductor structure then depositing an essentially uniform layer of transition or refractory metal overlying the semiconductor structure. The metal local interconnect is deposited without forming in intermediate insulating layer between the silicide and metal layers to define contact openings or vias. In some embodiments, titanium a suitable metal for formation of the local interconnect. Suitable selected regions for silicide layer formation include, for example, silicided source/drain (S/D) regions and silicided gate contact regions. The silicided regions form uniform structures for electrical coupling to underlying doped regions that are parts of one or more semiconductor devices. In integrated circuits in which an etchstop layer is desired for the patterning of the metal film, a first optional insulating layer is deposited prior to deposition of the metal film. In one example, the insulating layer is a silicon dioxide (oxide) layer that is typically less than 10 nm in thickness.
