The method includes the steps of sequentially forming a polysilicon layer and a refractory metal silicide layer to overlie previously fabricated structures on a semiconductor substrate, dry-etching the polysilicon layer and the refractory metal silicide layer to form a patterned polysilicon layer and a patterned refractory metal silicide layer, and thermal treating the resultant structure to remove at least one kind of by-product produced in the dry-etching step at a temperature higher than the boiling point of any by-product.

    摘要: Methods of forming trench isolation regions include the steps of forming a semiconductor substrate having a trench therein and a masking layer thereon extending adjacent the trench. The masking layer may comprise silicon nitride. A recess-inhibiting layer is then formed on a sidewall of the trench and on a sidewall of the masking layer. Next, a stress-relief layer is formed on the recess-inhibiting layer. This stress-relief layer extends opposite the sidewall of the trench and opposite the sidewall of the masking layer and may comprise silicon nitride. The trench is then filled with a trench isolation layer. A sequence of planarization or etch-back steps are then performed to remove the masking layer and also align an upper surface of the trench isolation layer with a surface of the substrate. At least a portion of the masking layer is removed using a first etchant (e.g., phosphoric acid) that selectively etches the masking layer and the stress-relief layer at faster rates than the first recess-inhibiting layer. The recess-inhibiting layer is formed directly on a sidewall of the masking layer in order to limit the extent to which the outer surfaces of the stress-relief layer are exposed to the first etchant. In this manner, recession of the stress-relief layer and the voids that may subsequently develop as a result of the recession can be reduced. Multiple thin stress-relief layers may also be provided and these multiple layers provide a degree of stress-relief that is comparable with a single much thicker stress-relief layer.

    摘要: A method for forming a trench type isolation film comprises filling a trench with a composite film, flattening the resultant, and annealing the flattened resultant before a gate oxide film is formed. The annealing diffuses out any contaminant existing in an area near and/or contacting the trench on a surface between a semiconductor substrate and a pad oxide film. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the portion of the gate oxide film which is near the trench from becoming thinner than other portions. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the characteristic of the gate oxide film from deteriorating. In particular, it is possible to prevent a break down voltage from being lowered.

    摘要: A method of forming a shallow trench isolation layer in a semiconductor device is provided, wherein a first trench and a second trench are formed in an area selected from a semiconductor substrate and a sidewall oxide layer, an anti-oxidation liner, and a mask layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate including the inner surfaces of the first and second trenches, in the same order. Using photoresist lithography, the mask layer and the anti-oxidation layer are etched in the second trench. An isolation layer is formed in the first and second trenches by depositing and then chemically and mechanically polishing the dielectric material and the layers underneath until the semiconductor substrate surface is exposed. The first trench provides isolation between N-FETs, an N-FET and a P-FET, an N-FET and other circuit devices, a P-FET and other circuit devices, and other circuit devices and the second trench provides isolation between P-FETs.

    摘要: A device isolation method divides a semiconductor substrate into active and inactive regions. A first device isolation layer is formed in a first inactive region using a trench isolation method. Then, local oxidation is used to form a second device isolation layer in a second inactive region which is wider than the first. A dishing phenomenon (generated during CMP processing) is eliminated, and proper device isolation is realized without exposing the active region.

    摘要: In a metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor with an elevated source/drain structure and in a method of fabricating the MOS transistor with the elevated source/drain structure using a selective epitaxy growth (SEG) process, a source/drain extension junction is formed after an epi-layer is formed, thereby preventing degradation of the source/drain junction region. In addition, the source/drain extension junction is partially overlapped by a lower portion of the gate layer, since two gate spacers are formed and two elevated source/drain layers are formed in accordance with the SEG process. This mitigates the short channel effect and reduces sheet resistance in the source/drain layers and the gate layer.
