    摘要: A method of manufacturing provides a vertical transistor particularly suitable for high density integration and which includes potentially independent gate structures on opposite sides of a semiconductor pillar formed by etching or epitaxial growth in a trench. The gate structure is surrounded by insulating material which is selectively etchable to isolation material surrounding the transistor. A contact is made to the lower end of the pillar (e.g. the transistor drain) by selectively etching the isolation material selective to the insulating material. The upper end of the pillar is covered by a cap and sidewalls of selectively etchable materials so that gate and source connection openings can also be made by selective etching with good registration tolerance. A dimension of the pillar in a direction parallel to the chip surface is defined by a distance between isolation regions and selective etching and height of the pillar is defined by thickness of a sacrificial layer.

    摘要: Methods are provided that use disposable and permanent films to dope underlying layers through diffusion. Additionally, methods are provided that use disposable films during implantation doping and that provide a surface from which to dope underlying materials. Some of these disposable films can be created from a traditionally non-disposable film and made disposable. In this manner, solvents may be used that do not etch underlying layers of silicon-based materials. Preferably, deep implantation is performed to form source/drain regions, then an anneal step is performed to activate the dopants. A conformal layer is deposited and implanted with dopants. One or more anneal steps are performed to create very shallow extensions in the source/drain regions.

    摘要: An etching process using germanium hard mask (25) includes forming a dielectric layer (15) over a major surface (11) of a semiconductor substrate (10) and depositing a metallic germanium layer (22) over the dielectric layer (15). The metallic germanium layer (22) is patterned through a photo resist (24) to form the germanium hard mask (25). The dielectric layer (15) is selectively etched through the germanium hard mask (25) to form a dielectric hard mask (35), through which the semiconductor substrate (10) is subsequently etched. After forming the dielectric hard mask (35), the germanium hard mask (25) is stripped away by oxidizing the metallic germanium hard mask (25) to transform it into a layer (27) of germanium oxide and rinsing the semiconductor substrate (10) in water to remove the germanium oxide layer (27). Preferably, the germanium hard mask (25) is removed before etching the semiconductor substrate (10).

    摘要: Features of two or more distinct sizes designed to optimize performance of an integrated circuit device are formed by transferring a pattern from a resist patterned with features of a single minimum feature size for which a resist exposure tool is optimized to a layer of preferably soluble material such as germanium oxide. Portions of this pattern are then enlarged using a block-out mask and the resulting pattern transferred to a further underlying layer preferably using an anisotropic reactive ion etch. The soluble material can then be removed leaving a robust mask with differing feature sizes for further processing. Preferably, Damascene conductive lines and vias are formed by providing an insulator as the further underlying material and filling the openings with metal or other conductive material.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication method. The method includes providing a semiconductor structure which includes (i) a semiconductor layer, (ii) a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor layer, and (iii) a gate electrode region on the gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer is sandwiched between and electrically insulates the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode region. The semiconductor layer and the gate dielectric layer share a common interfacing surface which defines a reference direction perpendicular to the common interfacing surface and pointing from the semiconductor layer to the gate dielectric layer. Next, a resist layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer and the gate electrode region. Next, a cap portion of the resist layer directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction is removed without removing any portion of the resist layer not directly above the gate electrode region in the reference direction.
