摘要:
A method of forming an integrated circuit with a semiconductor substrate is provided. A gate dielectric is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate is formed on the gate dielectric. A super-saturated doped source silicide metallic layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate adjacent the gate and the gate dielectric. The silicide metallic layer incorporates a substantially uniformly distributed dopant therein in a substantially uniform super-saturated concentration. The silicide metallic layer is reacted with the semiconductor substrate therebeneath to form a salicide layer and outdiffuse the dopant from the salicide layer into the semiconductor substrate therebeneath. The outdiffused dopant in the semiconductor substrate is then activated to form a shallow source/drain junction beneath the salicide layer. An interlayer dielectric is then deposited above the semiconductor substrate, and contacts are formed in the interlayer dielectric to the salicide layer.

A method of forming an integrated circuit with a semiconductor substrate is provided. A gate dielectric is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate is formed on the gate dielectric. A raised source/drain layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate adjacent the gate and the gate dielectric. An amorphized shallow source/drain extension implanted region is formed in the raised source/drain layer and the semiconductor substrate therebeneath. The amorphized region is then recrystallized to form a shallow source/drain extension having residual recrystallization damage elevated into the raised source/drain layer.

A method is provided for fabricating a silicon on insulator (SOI) device that includes a silicon substrate, a buried insulator layer overlying the silicon substrate, and a monocrystalline silicon layer overlying the buried insulator layer. The method comprises the steps of forming an MOS capacitor coupled between a first voltage bus and a second voltage bus. The MOS capacitor has a gate electrode material forming a first plate of the MOS capacitor and an impurity doped region in the monocrystalline silicon layer beneath the gate electrode material forming a second plate of the MOS capacitor. The first voltage bus is coupled to the first plate of the capacitor and the second voltage bus is coupled to the second plate of the capacitor. The method further includes forming an electrical discharge path coupling the second plate of the MOS capacitor to the silicon substrate.

Methods are provided for fabricating an SOI component on a semiconductor layer/insulator/substrate structure including a diode region formed in the substrate. The method comprises, in accordance with one embodiment, forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) region extending through the semiconductor layer to the insulator. A layer of polycrystalline silicon is deposited overlying the STI and the semiconductor layer and is patterned to form a polycrystalline silicon mask comprising at least a first mask region and a second mask region. First and second openings are etched through the STI and the insulator using the mask as an etch mask. N— and P-type ions are implanted into the diode region through the openings to form the anode and cathode of the diode. The anode and cathode are closely spaced and precisely aligned to each other by the polycrystalline silicon mask. Electrical contacts are made to the anode and cathode.

A method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) device. The method includes, in one embodiment, providing a monocrystalline silicon substrate having a monocrystalline silicon layer overlying the substrate and separated therefrom by a dielectric layer. A gate electrode material is deposited and patterned to form a gate electrode and a spacer. Impurity determining dopant ions are implanted into the monocrystalline silicon layer using the gate electrode as an ion implant mask to form spaced apart source and drain regions in the monocrystalline silicon layer and into the monocrystalline silicon substrate using the spacer as an ion implant mask to form spaced apart device regions in the monocrystalline substrate. Electrical contacts are then formed that contact the spaced apart device regions.
摘要:
A multiple independent bit Flash memory cell has a gate that includes a first oxide layer, a discontinuous nitride layer on the first oxide layer, a second oxide layer on the discontinuous nitride layer and the first oxide layer, and a polysilicon layer on the second oxide layer. The discontinuous nitride layer has regions residing at different portions of the layer. These portions are separated by the second oxide layer. Thus, with a smaller channel length, charge that otherwise would migrate from one region to the other and/or strongly influence its neighboring it is blocked/impeded by the second oxide layer. In this manner, the potential for charge sharing between the regions is reduced, and a higher density chip multiple independent bit Flash memory cells may be provided.
