摘要:
A method for forming a raised source and drain structure without using selective epitaxial silicon growth. A semiconductor substrate is provided having one or more gate areas covered by dielectric structures. Doped polysilicon structures are adjacent to the dielectric structures on each side and are co-planar with the dielectric structures from a CMP process. The first dielectric structures are removed to form gate openings and a liner oxide layer is formed on the bottom and sidewalls of the gate openings. Dielectric spacers are formed on the liner oxide layer over the sidewalls of the gate openings, and the liner oxide layer is removed from the bottom of the gate openings and from over the doped polysilicon structures. Source and drain regions are formed in the semiconductor substrate by diffusing impurity ions from the doped polysilicon layer. A gate oxide layer and a gate polysilicon layer are formed over the semiconductor structure and the gate polysilicon layer is planarized to form a gate electrode. In a key step, the dielectric spacers are removed to form spacer openings, and impurity ions are implanted through the spacer openings and annealed to form source and drain extensions. The dielectric spacers are reformed and a self-aligned silicide layer is formed on the doped polysilicon structure and the gate electrode. Alternatively, the self-aligned silicide layer can be formed prior to removing the dielectric spacers and implanting ions to form source and drain extensions.

A process for fabricating a MOSFET device, featuring source/drain extension regions, formed after the utilization of high temperature processes, such as heavily doped source/drain regions, has been developed. Disposable insulator spacers are formed on the sides of doped, SEG silicon regions, followed formation of a gate insulator layer, and an overlying gate structure, on a region of the semiconductor substrate located between the doped SEG silicon regions. The temperature experienced during these process steps result in the formation of the heavily doped source/drain, underlying the SEG silicon regions. Selective removal of the disposable spacers, allows the source/drain extension regions to be placed in the space vacated by the disposable spacers, adjacent to the heavily doped source/drain region. Insulator spacers are then used to fill the spaces vacated by removal of the disposable spacers, directly overlying the source/drain extension regions. Additional iterations include the use of an L shaped spacer, overlying the source/drain extension region, as well as the formation of metal silicide, on the doped SEG silicon regions, and on the gate structures.

摘要:
A method of fabricating a transistor, comprising the following steps. A silicon semiconductor substrate having a pad oxide portion within an active area is provided. A polysilicon layer is deposited over the silicon semiconductor substrate and over the pad oxide portion. A pad oxide layer is deposited over the polysilicon layer. Shallow isolation trench regions are formed on either side of the active area. The pad oxide layer is removed. The polysilicon layer is etched and removed over the pad oxide portion leaving polysilicon portions between the pad oxide portion and the shallow isolation trench regions. The pad oxide portion is replaced with a gate oxide portion. A gate conductor, having exposed side walls, is formed over the gate oxide portion and between the polysilicon portions. Sidewall spacers are formed on the exposed side walls of the gate conductor with the sidewall spacers contacting the polysilicon portions. Source/drain regions are formed in the active area under the sidewall spacers and under the polysilicon portions. A salicide portion is formed over the gate conductor and salicide portions are formed over the polysilicon portions, whereby the formation of the salicide layers over the polysilicon portions consumes a portion of the polysilicon portions leaving the remainder of the polysilicon layers to form shallow source/drain junctions underneath the polysilicon portion salicide portions.

An integrated microelectronics semiconductor circuit fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) type substrate can be protected from unwanted current surges and excessive heat buildup during fabrication by means of a heat-dissipating, protective plasma-induced-damage (PID) diode. The present invention fabricates such a protective diode as a part of the overall scheme in which the transistor devices are formed.

A second dopant implantation in the exposed the source/drain junctions is followed by a rapid thermal anneal that forms the semiconductor channel in the substrate. Contacts having inwardly curved cross-sectional widths in the semiconductor substrate are then formed which connect vertically to the exposed source/drain junctions either directly or through salicided contact areas.

A triple layered low dielectric constant material dual damascene metallization process is described. Metal lines are provided covered by an insulating layer overlying a semiconductor substrate. A first dielectric layer of a first type is deposited overlying the insulating layer. A second dielectric layer of a second type is deposited overlying the first dielectric layer. A via pattern is etched into the second dielectric layer. Thereafter, a third dielectric layer of the first type is deposited overlying the patterned second dielectric layer. Simultaneously, a trench pattern is etched into the third dielectric layer and the via pattern is etched into the first dielectric layer to complete the formation of dual damascene openings in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device. If the first type is a low dielectric constant organic material, the second type will be a low dielectric constant inorganic material. If the first type is a low dielectric constant inorganic material, the second type will be a low dielectric constant organic material.

A new method for forming a silicon-on-insulator MOSFET while eliminating floating body effects is described. A silicon-on-insulator substrate is provided comprising a silicon semiconductor substrate underlying an oxide layer underlying a silicon layer. A first trench is etched partially through the silicon layer and not to the underlying oxide layer. Second trenches are etched fully through the silicon layer to the underlying oxide layer wherein the second trenches separate active areas of the semiconductor substrate and wherein one of the first trenches lies within each of the active areas. The first and second trenches are filled with an insulating layer. Gate electrodes and associated source and drain regions are formed in and on the silicon layer in each active area. An interlevel dielectric layer is deposited overlying the gate electrodes. First contacts are opened through the interlevel dielectric layer to the underlying source and drain regions. A second contact opening is made through the interlevel dielectric layer in each of the active regions wherein the second contact opening contacts both the first trench and one of the second trenches. The first and second contact openings are filled with a conducting layer to complete formation of a silicon-on-insulator device in the fabrication of integrated circuits.
摘要:
A new method of fabricating a rim phase shifting mask is achieved. An opaque layer is provided overlying a transparent substrate. A resist layer is deposited overlying the opaque layer. The resist layer is patterned. The opaque layer and the transparent substrate are etched. The resist layer masks this etching. The opaque layer is etched through during this etching. Notches are thereby etched into the transparent substrate at the edges of the opaque layer. These notches will cause a phase shift in incident light relative to incident light passing through regions in the transparent substrate adjacent to the notches. During this etching, an overetch is performed to remove any mask defects in the transparent substrate. Optionally, the notches may be etched into a phase shifting layer overlying the transparent substrate. An etch stopping layer may also be used in the phase shifting layer embodiment.
