    • A diffusion-retarding barrier region is incorporated into the gate electrode to reduce the downward diffusion of dopant toward the gate dielectric. The barrier region is a nitrogen-containing diffusion retarding barrier region formed between two separately formed layers of polysilicon. The upper layer of polysilicon is doped more heavily than the lower layer of polysilicon, and the barrier region serves to keep most of the dopant within the upper layer of polysilicon, and yet may allow some of the dopant to diffuse into the lower layer of polysilicon. The barrier region may be formed, for example, by annealing the first polysilicon layer in an nitrogen-containing ambient to form a nitrided layer at the top surface of the first polysilicon layer. The barrier region may alternatively be formed by depositing a nitrogen-containing layer, such as a silicon nitride or titanium nitride layer, on the top surface of the first polysilicon layer. The thickness of the nitrogen-containing layer is preferably approximately 5-15 Å thick. Any nitrogen residing at the top of the gate dielectric may be kept to a concentration less than approximately 2%. The present invention is particularly well suited to thin gate dielectrics, such as a those having a thickness of approximately 25-60 Å, when using a p-type dopant, such as boron.
    • 扩散阻滞屏障区域被结合到栅电极中以减少掺杂剂朝向栅极电介质的向下扩散。 阻挡区域是在两个单独形成的多晶硅层之间形成的含氮扩散阻滞区域。 多晶硅的上层比多晶硅的下层掺杂更多,并且势垒区域用于将大部分掺杂剂保持在多晶硅的上层内,并且还可以允许一些掺杂剂扩散到多晶硅的下层 。 阻挡区域可以例如通过在含氮环境中退火第一多晶硅层以在第一多晶硅层的顶表面处形成氮化层而形成。 可以通过在第一多晶硅层的顶表面上沉积含氮层,例如氮化硅或氮化钛层来形成阻挡区。 含氮层的厚度优选为约5〜约厚。 驻留在栅极电介质顶部的任何氮可以保持在小于约2%的浓度。 当使用诸如硼的p型掺杂剂时,本发明特别适用于薄栅极电介质,例如厚度大约为25埃的那些。

    • An IGFET with elevated source and drain regions in close proximity to a gate with sloped sidewalls is disclosed. A method of making the IGFET includes forming a lower gate level over a semiconductor substrate, wherein the lower gate level includes a top surface, a bottom surface and sloped opposing sidewalls, and the top surface has a substantially greater length than the bottom surface, and depositing a semiconducting layer on the lower gate level and on underlying source and drain regions of the semiconductor substrate to form an upper gate level on the lower gate level, an elevated source region on the underlying source region, and an elevated drain region on the underlying drain region. The elevated source and drain regions are separated from the lower gate level due to a retrograde slope of the sidewalls of the lower gate level, and the elevated source and drain regions are separated from the upper gate level due to a lack of step coverage in the semiconducting layer. The method also includes implanting a dopant into the elevated source and drain regions, and diffusing the dopant from the elevated source and drain regions into the underlying source and drain regions. Preferably, the semiconducting layer is deposited by epitaxial deposition, the lower gate level is substantially thicker than the semiconducting layer, the elevated source and drain regions include sidewalls beneath and substantially aligned with sidewalls of the upper gate level, and all source/drain doping in the underlying source and drain regions is diffused from the elevated source and drain regions. In this manner, a highly miniaturized IGFET can be provided with shallow channel junctions without the need for sidewall spacers adjacent to the gate.
    • 公开了一种IGFET,其具有与具有倾斜侧壁的栅极紧密相邻的源极和漏极区域。 制造IGFET的方法包括在半导体衬底上形成较低的栅极电平,其中下部栅极级别包括顶部表面,底部表面和倾斜的相对侧壁,并且顶部表面具有比底部表面大得多的长度,以及 在半导体衬底的下栅极电平和下面的源极和漏极区域上沉积半导体层以在下部栅极电平上形成上部栅极电平,在下部源极区域上形成升高的源极区域,以及在下部栅极 漏区。 由于下栅极电平的侧壁的逆向斜率,升高的源极和漏极区域与下部栅极电平分离,并且由于在栅极栅极电平上缺乏阶跃覆盖,升高的源极和漏极区域与上部栅极电平分离 半导体层。 该方法还包括将掺杂剂注入到升高的源极和漏极区域中,并且将掺杂剂从升高的源极和漏极区域扩散到下面的源极和漏极区域中。 优选地,半导体层通过外延沉积沉积,下栅极电平基本上比半导电层更厚,升高的源极和漏极区域包括在上部栅极电平的侧壁下面并基本对齐的侧壁,并且所有源极/漏极掺杂 底层源极和漏极区域从升高的源极和漏极区域扩散。 以这种方式,高度小型化的IGFET可以设置有浅沟道结,而不需要邻近门的侧壁间隔。

    • Each circuit block of a plurality of circuit blocks on a semiconductor substrate is imaged in an exposure field defined by a reticle. The circuit blocks are separated and electrically isolated within the semiconductor substrate by an isolation such as a field oxide or trench isolation. The circuit blocks are globally interconnected by depositing a blanket metal layer, masking the metal layer and etching the metal layer using a stitching reticle having an exposure field overlapping the plurality of circuit blocks. The combination of reticle-imaged circuit blocks allows each individual circuit block to be fabricated independently, using independent imaging resolution, layout rules, design rules, different polysilicon sizes and source/drain region sizes and the like. In addition different reticles, including different reticle types, resolutions and qualities may be used to construct the various circuit blocks. Different imaging technologies may be used to construct the independent circuit blocks, including X-ray, I-line, H-line, ion-beam and electron-beam irradiation, for example. While the different circuit blocks are independently constructed, the circuit blocks are globally interconnected using the blanket metal layer so that overall circuit size is reduced, circuit quality is enhanced, fabrication time and costs are reduced, and performance is increased. A plurality of integrated chip sets, including microprocessor, memory, and support chips, are constructed on a single semiconductor wafer using separate reticle imaging of each of the plurality of integrated chip sets. The different circuits are globally interconnected using a blanket metal layer that is imaged using a stitch mask and etch operation that combines and electrically connects the individual integrated chips.

    • A transistor and a transistor fabrication method for forming an LDD structure in which the n-type dopants associated with an n-channel transistor are formed prior to the formation of the p-type dopants is presented. The n-type source/drain and LDD implants generally require higher activation energy (thermal anneal) than the p-type source/drain and LDD implants. The n-type arsenic source/drain implant, which has the lowest diffusivity and requires the highest temperature anneal, is performed first in the LDD process formation. Performing such a high temperature anneal first ensures minimum additional migration of subsequent, more mobile implants. Mobile implants associated with lighter and less dense implant species are prevalent in LDD areas near the channel perimeter. The likelihood of those implants moving into the channel is lessened by tailoring subsequent anneal steps to temperatures less than the source/drain anneal step.
    • 提出一种用于形成LDD结构的晶体管和晶体管制造方法,其中在形成p型掺杂剂之前形成与n沟道晶体管相关联的n型掺杂剂。 n型源极/漏极和LDD植入物通常需要比p型源极/漏极和LDD植入物更高的活化能(热退火)。 首先在LDD工艺形成中执行具有最低扩散率并且需要最高温度退火的n型砷源/漏极注入。 首先进行这样的高温退火可确保随后的更多移动式植入物的最小额外迁移。 与更轻和较不密集的种植体物种相关的移植植入物在通道周边附近的LDD区域是普遍的。 通过将后续退火步骤调整到低于源极/漏极退火步骤的温度,使得这些植入物进入通道的可能性降低。
