    摘要: A method for fabricating a self-aligned trench structure in a semiconductor device is disclosed. In accordance with one method for fabricating the trench structure, an oxidation resistant material having an opening is used as a masking layer. The edge of the opening in the masking layer is covered by a sidewall spacer which protects a portion of the substrate from attack by the etchant used to form the trench. The trench is filled with a trench fill material by selective deposition using a seeding material formed on the sidewall of the trench as a nucleation site. After the trench is filled, the sidewall spacer is removed and the underlying substrate is oxidized to form an electrical insulation region around the upper portion of the trench. The mask layer is removed and the remaining substrate is doped using the insulation region surrounding the trench as a dopant mask.

    摘要: A process for forming isolation regions (20) having a self-aligned channel-stop (22) formed by implanting dopant atoms (24) through the isolation regions (22). An isolation mask (15) is formed over an active region (16) in a semiconductor substrate (10). The isolation mask can be constructed from a variety of materials including silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, boron nitride, polysilicon, and germanium oxide. Thick isolation regions (20) are formed on either side of the isolation mask (15) and an ion implant process is carried out to form doped regions (22) in the substrate (10) immediately below the isolation regions (20). The isolation mask (15) prevents dopant atoms (24) from entering the active region (16) of the substrate (10).

    摘要: In forming a lightly-doped drain (LDD) transistor there is first formed a thin polysilicon layer over a gate oxide on an active region. A masking layer is deposited and selectively etched to expose a middle portion of the polysilicon layer. This structure can be used as part of a process which results ina formation of an inverse-T transistor or a conventional LDD structure which is formed by disposable sidewall spacers. The exposed middle portion of the polysilicon layer is used to form a polysilicon gate by selective polysilicon deposition. The exposed middle portion can be implanted through for the channel implant, thus providing self-alignment to the source/drain implants. Sidewall spacers can be formed inside the exposed portion to reduce the channel length. These sidewall spacers can be nitride to provide etching selectivity between the sidewall spacer and the conveniently used low temperature oxide (LTO) mask.

    摘要: A process for the fabrication of elevated source/drain IGFET devices is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the process, a silicon substrate is provided which is divided into active and field regions by a field oxide. A gate oxide is formed over the active region and a thin layer of polycrystalline silicon and a thick layer of silicon nitride are deposited on the gate oxide. The polycrystalline silicon and the silicon nitride are etched to form a stacked structure, with the spacers having substantially the same height as the stacked structure, in the pattern of the gate electrode. Sidewall spacers are formed on the edges of the stacked structure and the silicon nitride is removed. Polycrystalline silicon is then deposited onto the polycrystalline silicon and the exposed portions of the source and drain regions to complete the gate electrode and to form the source and drain electrodes. The selectively deposited polycrystalline silicon extends upwardly from the source and drain regions onto the field oxide. The sidewall spacers provide physical and electrical isolation between the gate electrode and the adjacent source and drain electrodes.

    摘要: A thin-film transistor in a semiconductor device is self-aligned and vertically oriented. In one form of the present invention, the semiconductor device (10) has a vertical wall trench (18) formed in a first dielectric layer (16) and having a predetermined depth. A first current electrode (26) is formed on a bottom surface of the trench while a second current electrode (28) overlies the first dielectric material, each current electrode preferably being formed of polysilicon. A channel region (30) connecting the first and second current electrodes lies along the vertical wall of the trench and has a length substantially equal to the predetermined depth. A control electrode (36) is located within the trench and is also preferably formed of polysilicon. The control electrode is electrically isolated from the first current electrode and the channel region by a second dielectric layer (32).

    摘要: A semiconductor memory cell (10) includes vertically disposed MOS pass transistors (32, 34) and MOS inverters (12, 14) contained in trench structures in a semiconductor substrate (11). An MOS inverter (12) has a toroidal shared-gate electrode (48) overlying the wall surface of a first trench (36). A pass transistor (32) has a gate electrode (84) in a third trench (40). A first buried drain region (62) resides in the substrate (11) adjacent to the first trench (36), and is located a first distance from the substrate surface. A second buried drain region (64) resides in the substrate (11) adjacent to the second trench (32), and is located a second distance from the substrate surface. The inverter (12) and the pass transistor (32) are electrically coupled by the first and second buried layers (62, 64). The channel length (90) of the driver transistor (16) in the inverter (12) and the pass transistor (32) is determined by the first and second distances, respectively. Accordingly, the cell ratio of the memory cell (10) (ratio of W/L values) is also determined by the differential depth of the first and second buried drain regions (62, 64).
