    摘要: Disclosed are methods for reducing the degree of underetching and particulate contamination occurring during dry non-isotropic etching of a polycide layer on the surface of a silicon wafer maintained in a wafer holder wherein the backside of the holder is cooled with a stream of helium gas. Specifically, in the disclosed methods, dry non-isotropic etching of the polycide layer is conducted either in the absence of backside cooling or the helium gas flow utilized in backside cooling is maintained at a pressure of no more than 3 torr.

    摘要: A fine pattern formation using an electron beam induced resist, and use of the resist in making semiconductor devices are disclosed. Collimated electron beam is irradiated and scanned along a desired pattern on a layer on which a resist layer of a desired pattern is deposited under an atmosphere containing a starting material layer for the resist. The resist thus deposited is partially removed by reactive ion etching to remove the skirt like portion of the resist layer, or totally removed by reactive ion etching during or after processing by using the resist layer as a processing mask. Since the resist layer width is determined by a diameter of the collimated electron beam, line width of less than hundred .ANG. can be directly drawn. There are also disclosed processes using the resist layer in manufacturing semiconductor devices.

    摘要: Methods for reducing linewidths of Field Effect Transistors (FETs) and making FETs with 0.5 to 0.15 .mu.m effective gate lengths are used separately or in a combined process sequence, that combines enhancement/depletion mode and microwave Metal-Semiconductors FETs (MESFETs) on the same GaAs chip. Photoresist linewidths are used to form dummy or substitutional gates using optical lithography with no deliberate overexposures. The dummy gate may be used as a mask for N+ implantation. The photoresist linewidth is then reduced in its lateral basewidth while preserving its height to basewidth aspect ratio in an isotropic oxygen plasma etch. A nonconformal dielectric film of silicon monoxide is deposited over the photoresist linewidth patterns. Dielectric reverse liftoff of the SiO pattern transfer dielectric provides a self-aligned stencil mask with respect to the N+/N- interfaces. The SiO stencil is also a dielectric spacer with respect to the N+/N- interfaces. The implantation profile's spatial variation with respect to the dielectric spacer dimension can be engineered to fabricate a lightly doped drain (LDD) MESFET. Finally, a Microwave Enhancement Depletion Integrated Circuit (MEDIC) process sequence mixes low threshold voltage digital MESFETs with higher threshold voltage microwave MESFETs.

    摘要: An MOS structure and a method for making same, including the formation of el-shaped shielding members used to form one or more lightly doped drain regions to avoid short channel and punch-through problems is disclosed which comprises forming a shielding layer of an insulating material over a gate electrode on a substrate; forming another layer of a dissimilar material over the shielding layer; anisotropically etching the layer of dissimilar material to form spacer portions adjacent the sidewalls of the gate electrode; removing the portions of the shielding layer not masked by the spacer portions, leaving one or more el-shaped shielding members; removing the spacer portions; N+ or P+ implanting the substrate at a sufficiently low energy to prevent penetration of the dopant through the el-shaped shielding member to form a highly doped source/drain region in the substrate not shielded by the el-shaped shielding member or the gate electrode; N- or P- implanting the substrate at a sufficiently high energy to penetrate through the el-shaped shielding member to form a lightly doped source/drain region in the portion of the substrate adjacent the P+ or N+ source/drain regions and separating the channel region of the substrate beneath the gate electrode from the P+ or N+ source/drain region.
