    摘要: According to the present invention, an ultrathin buried diffusion barrier layer (UBDBL) is formed over all or part of the doped polysilicon layer of a polysilicide structure composed of the polycrystalline silicon film and an overlying film of a metal, metal silicide, or metal nitride. More specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a memory cell is provided comprising a semiconductor substrate, a P well, an N well, an N type active region, a P type active region, an isolation region, a polysilicide gate electrode structure, and a diffusion barrier layer. The P well is formed in the semiconductor substrate. The N well is formed in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the P well. The N type active region is defined in the P well and the P type active region is defined in the N well. The isolation region is arranged to isolate the N type active region from the P type active region. The polysilicide gate electrode structure is composed of a polycrystalline silicon film and an overlying metal, metal silicide, or metal nitride film. The polycrystalline silicon film comprises an N+ polysilicon layer formed with the N type active region and a P+ polysilicon layer formed with the P type active region. The diffusion barrier layer is formed in the polysilicide gate electrode structure over a substantial portion of the polycrystalline silicon film between the polycrystalline silicon film and the metal, metal silicide, or metal nitride film.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure pad oxide layer is enlarged by local oxidation of silicon to form a field oxide. An etchback causes the thinnest portions of the field oxide to recede such that a portion of the semiconductor substrate is exposed. An etch through the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate forms a microtrench between the field oxide and the nitride layer with a lateral dimension that is less than that currently achievable by conventional photolithography. The microtrench is then filled by oxide or nitride growth or by deposition of a dielectric material. In another embodiment, formation of the microtrench is carried out as set forth above, but the nitride layer is removed immediately following trench formation. Alternatively, the pad oxide layer is stripped and a new oxide layer is regrown that substantially covers all exposed surfaces of active areas of the semiconductor substrate. The regrown oxide layer will encroach into all exposed surfaces of active areas and will grow also in the microtrench. Alternatively, the pad oxide layer is etched substantially uniformly at regions distant from nitride layer, whereas the etchant concentrates the etch against the nitride layer such that etching is accelerated at this location. Because of accelerated etching at this location, a breach in the pad oxide layer forms before etching of the pad oxide layer has been generally penetrated. The breach has a width of sub-photolithographic limits preparatory to formation of a microtrench thereunder.
