Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a PMOS transistor or an NMOS transistor on a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer comprises a silicon substrate and a gate positioned on a predetermined area of the silicon substrate. First, a protection layer of uniform thickness made of silicon nitride is formed on the semiconductor wafer to cover the surface of the gate. Then, a first ion implantation process is performed to form a first ion implantation layer with a first predetermined thickness on the silicon substrate around the gate. Then, an RCA cleaning process is performed to remove impurities on the semiconductor wafer. Next, a spacer is formed around the gate. Finally, a second ion implantation process is performed to form a second ion implantation layer with a second predetermined thickness on the silicon substrate around the gate. The second ion implantation layer is used as a source or drain (S/D) of the MOS transistor. The portion of the first ion implantation layer that is not covered by the second ion implantation layer is used as a lightly doped drain (LDD). The protection layer is used to protect the surface of the silicon substrate from being etched during the RCA cleaning process so as to prevent an increase of the electrical resistance of the LDD.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate, followed by forming a gate oxide layer and a conductive layer over the substrate. An anti-reflective coating is then formed on the conductive layer. After patterning to etch the anti-reflective coating and the conductive layer, a gate region is thus formed. A dielectric layer is formed over the gate region, and is then subjected to etching back, therefore forming an offset spacer on sidewall of the gate region while simultaneously removing surface oxide of the anti-reflective coating. Finally, anti-reflective coating is removed.

Abstract: A process for forming high temperature stable self-aligned silicide layer that not only establishes itself smoothly and uniformly despite the use of a high temperature in the siliciding reaction, but also can withstand other subsequent high temperature thermal processing operations and maintaining a stable metal silicide layer profile thereafter. Moreover, desired thickness and uniformity of the metal silicide layer can be obtained by suitably adjusting the amorphous implant parameters, while the use of a titanium nitride cap layer help to stabilize the metal silicide layer during high temperature formation and that a stable and uniform metal silicide layer profile can be ensured even if subsequent high temperature processing operations are performed.
