摘要:
A method for providing a chemical mechanical polishing planarization process for preventing multi-polysilicon and multi-metal level electrical shorts, which includes briefly the sequential processing steps of i) providing an insulating layer to a first thickness over a device wafer with non-planar surface topography; ii) chemical-mechanical polishing the first insulating layer; and iii) deposition of another polysilicon layer of second thickness to prevent the barely exposed or exposed underlying polysilicon from shorting to the next polysilicon or metal level of interconnects.
摘要:
A method is provide for a unified stacked contact structure which concurrently forms all the polysilicon interconnects and the polysilicon load resistors on a SRAM device. FETs formed from a first polysilicon layer are coated with a first insulating layer. A second polysilicon layer is deposited and patterned forming portions of the SRAM circuit and concurrently forming openings over FET source/drain areas. A second insulating layer is deposited, and contact openings are selectively etched in the insulating layer over the openings in the second polysilicon layer. The exposed second polysilicon layer in the contacts serve as an etch mask for etching the first insulating layer to the source/drain contact areas, thereby forming contacts self-aligned to the openings in the second polysilicon layer. The contact openings in the node contact areas also expose portions of the gate electrodes .of the SRAM driver transistors. The unified stacked contacts are completed by depositing and patterning a conformal third polysilicon layer that forms interconnections in the contact openings between the exposed patterned polysilicon layers, and the third polysilicon layer is also patterned to form the polysilicon load resistors. The number of masking and other process steps are substantially reduced.
摘要:
A three dimensional polysilicon resistor and a method by which the three dimensional polysilicon resistor is manufactured. A semiconductor substrate has formed upon its surface an insulating layer. The insulating layer has a minimum of one aperture formed at least partially through the insulating layer. A polysilicon layer is formed upon the insulating layer and formed conformally into the aperture(s) within the insulating layer. The polysilicon layer is then patterned to form a resistor which includes the portion of the polysilicon layer which resides within the aperture(s).

A fabrication process for integrating stacked capacitor, DRAM devices, and thin film transistor, SRAM devices, has been developed. The fabrication process features combining key operations used to create transfer gate transistor structures, and access transistor structures for the DRAM and SRAM devices. In addition, process steps, used to create a capacitor structure, for the DRAM device, and a thin film transistor structure, for the SRAM device, are also shared. Another key feature of this invention is a buried contact structure, used for the SRAM device.

A method for fabricating reduced area metal contacts to a thin polysilicon layer contact structure having low ohmic resistance was achieved. The method involves forming contact openings in an insulating layer over a buffer layer composed of a thick polysilicon layer. A portion of the sidewall in the opening includes a patterned thin polysilicon layer that forms part of a semiconductor device and also forms the electrical connection to the metal contact. The method provides metal contacts having very low resistance and reduced area for increased device packing densities. The metal contact structure also eliminates the problem of forming P.sup.+ /N.sup.+ non-ohmic junctions usually associated with making P.sup.+ /N.sup.+ stacked contact. The method further allows large latitude in etching the contact opening and thereby provides a very manufacturable process.

摘要:
A method for fabricating buried metal plug structures for multi-polysilicon layer interconnects and for concurrently making metal plugs on semiconductor integrated circuits, such as DRAM and SRAM, was achieved. The method involved forming contact opening in an insulating layer over opening in a patterned polysilicon layer. The opening in the polysilicon layer aligned over source/drain contact areas on the substrate and providing a means for forming self-aligned contact openings. Buried metal plugs in the contact openings form interconnects between the polysilicon layer and the source/drains. And, by merging the process steps, concurrently forming metal plug interconnects for contacts to semiconductor devices and first level metal. The process is applicable to the formation of bit line contacts on DRAM and SRAM circuits and simultaneously form the peripheral contact on the chip.
摘要:
A multi-layer polysilicon resistor and a method by which the multi-layer polysilicon resistor is formed. A minimum of two polysilicon layers is formed upon an insulating layer, the insulating layer in turn being formed upon a semiconductor substrate. The first polysilicon layer is formed to a first thickness at a first deposition temperature. The second polysilicon layer is formed directly upon the first polysilicon layer. The second polysilicon layer is formed to a second thickness at a second deposition temperature. The two deposition temperatures are in the range of about 450 degrees centigrade to about 620 degrees centigrade, and the difference in temperature between the first deposition temperature and the second deposition temperature is a minimum of 10 degrees centigrade.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a novel plug structure for low resistance ohmic stacked contacts and at the same time forming metal contacts to devices on a SRAM cell was achieved. The method involved forming electrically conductive plugs in the stacked contact openings to form ohmic connections between a P+ doped polysilicon layer and a N+ doped polysilicon layer and thereby increasing the on current (I.sub.on) of the SRAM cell. The electrical conductive plugs are also simultaneously formed in metal contact openings to devices areas elsewhere on the substrate. The process for the plug structure also reduces the mask set by one masking level over the prior art process.
