摘要:
A method of making contact openings for memory cell units of DRAM IC devices is disclosed. The contact opening is used to connect the cell transistor source/drain terminal to the storage capacitor electrode located substantially above. The method includes the step of first patterning the initial opening in a shielding layer for the contact opening. The diameter of the initial opening is then reduced by the formation of sidewall spacers in initial opening. The initial opening in the shielding layer is then used to implement the etching for the formation of the contact opening. Due to reduced size of the contact opening, short-circuiting situations arising between the via formed in the contact opening and the bit lines next to the via as a result of misalignment in the process of fabrication can be reduced, thereby improving the device fabrication yield rates.

A planarization method for self-aligned contact process which is suitable for use in DRAM processing. Prior to the formation of the bottom terminal layer of the capacitor, the substrate surface is first planarized, thus avoiding stringer effects and related bridging problems arising from an undulating surface profile, during subsequent etching of the defined pattern. Also according to the method of this invention, by covering the silicon substrate that has MOS transistors laid on top with first a deposition of an oxide layer, then an etch discriminatory layer, and finally a planarization layer, a substrate with a smooth, plane surface is obtained.

A method of fabricating a memory device and a logic device on the same chip is described, wherein the memory device has a first gate on a first region of the chip, and wherein the logic device has a second gate with a sidewall on a second region of the chip. A conductive layer and a first suicide layer are sequentially formed over the first and the second regions of the chip. Over the first region of the chip, the first silicide layer and the conductive layer are patterned to form the first gate. Ions are first implanted into the first region of the chip, by using the first gate as a mask, to form a first doped region. A dielectric layer is formed to cap the first gate, the first doped region and the first region of the chip. The first silicide layer over the second region of the chip is removed. Over the second region of the chip, the conductive layer is patterned to form the second gate. Ions are second implanted into the second region of the chip, by using the second gate as a mask, to form a second doped region.

The DRAM cell is formed by covering the cell's transfer FET with a conformal insulating layer. A self aligned contact etch removes a portion of the conformal insulating layer from above a first source/drain region of the FET and then a first polysilicon layer is deposited over the device. Etching defines a polysilicon pad from the first polysilicon layer with edges of the polysilicon pad disposed over the gate electrode and an adjacent wiring line. A thick, planarized second insulating layer is provided over the device, filling the volume defined by the locally cupped surface of the polysilicon pad. Etching is performed to remove a portion of the planarized insulating layer using the pad polysilicon layer as an etch stop for the process. A second, thick polysilicon layer is next provided to fill the cavity and the layer is patterned to laterally define the lower capacitor electrode. Hemispherical grained silicon (HSG-Si) is deposited on the surface of the patterned polysilicon layer and an etch back process is used to transfer the topology of the HSG-Si layer to the underlying polysilicon. Further processing provides a capacitor dielectric and an upper electrode.

A method for fabricating a cylinder capacitor of a DRAM cell that starts with forming a first oxide layer and then a doped first polysilicon layer on a substrate, patterning the first polysilicon layer to form a first opening that exposes the first oxide layer, forming a polysilicon spacer at the laterals of the first opening. Then, a portion of the first oxide layer is removed to expose the substrate by using the polysilicon spacer and the first polysilicon layer as a mask. A doped second polysilicon layer is formed on the first polysilicon layer and in the first opening. A portion of the second polysilicon layer is removed to form a second opening. A oxide spacer is formed on the laterals of the second opening, and is used as mask to remove a portion of the second polysilicon layer for forming a lower electrode. A dielectric layer and then a third polysilicon layer are formed on the lower electrode after the silicon oxide spacer is removed, wherein the third polysilicon is an upper electrode.

A gap-filling process is provided. A substrate having a dielectric layer thereon is provided. The dielectric layer has an opening therein. A gap-filling material layer is formed over the dielectric layer and inside the opening. A portion of the gap-filling material is removed from the gap-filling material layer to expose the dielectric layer. A gap-filling material treatment of the surface of the gap-filling material layer and the dielectric layer is carried out to planarize the gap-filling material layer so that a subsequently formed bottom anti-reflection coating or material layer over the gap-filling material layer can have a high degree of planarity.
