    摘要: During damascene formation of local interconnects in a semiconductor wafer, a punch-through region can be formed into the substrate as a result of exposing the oxide spacers that are adjacent to a transistor gate to one or more etching plasmas that are used to etch one or more overlying dielectric layers. A punch-through region can damage the transistor circuit. Improved, multipurpose spacers are provided to reduce the chances of over-etching. The multipurpose spacers are made of silicon oxime. The etching plasmas that are used to etch one or more overlying dielectric layers tend to have a higher selectivity ratio to the multipurpose spacers than to the conventional oxide spacers. Additionally, the multipurpose spacers do not tend to degrade the hot carrier injection (HCI) properties as would a typical nitride spacer.

    摘要: A gate is formed on a semiconductor substrate by using a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) to better control the critical dimension (CD) of the gate as defined via a deep-UV resist mask formed thereon. The wafer stack includes a gate oxide layer over a semiconductor substrate, a polysilicon gate layer over the gate oxide layer, a SiON BARC over the conductive layer, a thin oxide film over the SiON BARC. The resist mask is formed on the oxide film. The SiON BARC improves the resist mask formation process. The wafer stack is then shaped to form one or more polysilicon gates by sequentially etching through selected portions of the oxide film, the BARC, and the gate conductive layer as defined by the etch windows in the resist mask. Once properly shaped, the remaining portions of the resist mask, oxide film and SiON BARC are removed.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device with a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) that acts as an etch stop layer and does not need to be removed. In one embodiment, electrical devices are formed on a semiconductor substrate. Contacts are then formed for each electrical device and a partially UV transparent BARC is then deposited. An inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer is then formed and then covered with photoresist. A top ARC (TARC) is then added and the photoresist is then photolithographically processed and subsequently developed. The TARC, ILD, and BARC layers are then selectively etched down to the device contacts forming local interconnects. The photoresist and TARC are later removed, but the BARC does not require removal due to its optical transparency.
