摘要： A method of making a MOS transistors in an integrated circuit includes forming a plurality of doped source and drain regions adjacent respective gate structures that include gate dielectrics, gate conductors and spacers. The plurality of doped source and drain regions are formed at different depths, at different doses and with differing dopants. In one embodiment, first doped source and drain regions are formed at a first depth, at a first dose using a first dopant while second doped source and drain regions are formed at a second depth, at a second dose using a second dopant. The first depth is shallower than the second depth so that the first doped source and drain regions serve as sacrificial doped regions that are consumed in a silicidation process when they are converted into a silicide by being combined with a silicidation metal. However, the second doped source and drain regions maintain their doping profiles and dopant levels. The implant energy of the dopants depends upon their molecular weight and desired doping depths. The dose of such doping depends upon desired drive current and other characteristics of the transistors.

摘要： A semiconductor transistor which includes a silicon base layer, a gate dielectric formed on the silicon base layer, first and second silicon source/drain structures, first and second spacer structures, and a silicon gate structure is provided. A method for forming the semiconductor transistor may include a semiconductor process in which a dielectric layer is formed on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate which includes a silicon base layer. Thereafter, an upper silicon layer is formed on an upper surface of the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer and the upper silicon layer are then patterned to form first and second silicon-dielectric stacks on the upper surface of the base silicon layer. The first and second silicon-dielectric stacks are laterally displaced on either side of a channel region of the silicon substrate and each include a proximal sidewall and a distal sidewall. The proximal sidewalls are approximately coincident with respective boundaries of the channel region. Thereafter, proximal and distal spacer structures are formed on the proximal and distal sidewalls respectively of the first and second silicon-dielectric stacks. A gate dielectric layer is then formed on exposed portions of the silicon base layer over a channel region of the base silicon layer. Portions of the first and second silicon-dielectric stacks located over respective source/drain regions of the base silicon layer are then selectively removed. Silicon is then deposited to fill first and second voids created by the selected removal of the stacks. The silicon deposition also fills a silicon gate region above the gate dielectric over the channel region. Thereafter, an impurity distribution is introduced into the deposited silicon. The deposited silicon is then planarized to physically isolate the silicon within the gate region from the silicon within the first and second voids resulting in the formation of a transistor including a silicon gate structure and first and second source/drain structures.

In the first step, at least one first spacer is formed, where each spacer is adjacent to an edge of a gate on a substrate and has a triangular geometry. In the second step, an ion implantation is applied to form a graded lightly doped region within the substrate underneath each spacer, the region corresponding to the triangular geometry of the spacer. In the third step, at least one second spacer is formed, where each second spacer overlaps a corresponding first spacer. In the fourth step, a metal silicide within the substrate is formed immediately adjacent to each second spacer.

摘要： A semiconductor device can be formed with active regions disposed in a substrate adjacent to a gate electrode and a doped region, of the same conductivity type as the active regions, embedded beneath the channel region defined by the active regions. In one embodiment, a patterned masking layer having at least one opening is formed over the substrate. A dopant material is implanted into the substrate using the masking layer to form active regions adjacent to the opening and an embedded doped region that is between and spaced apart from the active regions and is deeper in the substrate then the active regions. In addition or alternatively, spacer structures can be formed on the gate electrode by forming a conformal dielectric layer along a bottom surface and at least one sidewall of the opening and forming a gate electrode in the opening over the dielectric layer. The masking layer is then removed to leave the dielectric layer between the gate electrode and the substrate and as spacer structures on the sidewalls of the gate electrode.

摘要： Various processes are provided for producing a p-channel and/or n-channel transistor. The present processes are thereby applicable to NMOS, PMOS or CMOS integrated circuits, any of which derive a benefit from having an asymmetrical LDD structure. The asymmetrical structure can be produced on a p-channel or n-channel transistor in various ways. According, the present process employs various techniques to form an asymmetrical transistor. The various techniques employ processing steps which vary depending upon the LDD result desired. First, the LDD implant can be performed only in the drain-side of the channel, or in the drain-side as well as the source-side. Second, the gate conductor sidewall surface adjacent the drain can be made thicker than the sidewall surface adjacent the source. Thickening of the drain-side sidewall spacer can be achieved either by depositing oxide upon a nitride-bearing film, or by growing additional oxide upon an exposed silicon surface having the source-side sidewall protected from growth. Third, the drain-side can be enhanced relative to the source-side by using an LTA implant. There may be numerous other modifications and alternative processing steps, all of which are described herein. Regardless of the sequence chosen, a barrier implant may be employed to prevent deleterious ingress of p-type implant species into the channel region. The present fabrication sequence reduces source-side resistance to enhance drive current--a desirable outcome for high speed circuits.

摘要： An integrated circuit transistor is provided having a gate oxide and a gate conductor arranged upon a semiconductor topography, the gate oxide and gate conductor are formed within a common chamber. The initial semiconductor topography includes a silicon substrate having isolation regions disposed within its upper surface. The semiconductor topography may include an defined region, or well, doped opposite the substrate. The semiconductor topography is first placed in the common chamber. A separate chamber is operably placed gaseous communication with the common chamber. A plasma is created within the separate chamber, causing nitrogen, silicon, and oxygen containing compounds therein to form ions, molecular fragments, and excited molecules which are transported to the common chamber. The ions, molecular fragments, and excited molecules react and bombard the surface of the semiconductor topography to form an oxide layer thereon. The oxide layer is incorporated with nitrogen atoms which act as barrier atoms. Polysilicon is then deposited upon the oxide layer by CVD within the common chamber. The semiconductor topography is never exposed to ambient conditions outside the common chamber during and between the plasma oxide formation and the polysilicon deposition steps. Preventing ingress of outside ambient helps minimize contamination from entering the oxide. During the polysilicon deposition, dopant atoms are forwarded and become entrained within the polysilicon. The barrier atoms within the deposited oxide helps minimize dopant atoms from passing through the oxide and entering the channel below the oxide.

摘要： A high speed MOS device has a scaled channel length and integrated spacers. The MOS device is formed on a substrate having active and isolation regions. In constructing the MOS device wells and Vt regions are formed as required. Then, a thin nitride layer is formed upon the substrate. Subsequently, an oxide layer is formed upon the nitride layer. Then, the oxide layer is pattern masked to expose gate regions. The gate regions are sloped etched to form slope etched voids. The slope etching may proceed to the nitride layer, through a portion of the nitride layer or fully through the nitride layer, depending upon the embodiment. In another embodiment, the nitride layer is not deposed and the oxide layer is either fully or partially slope etched to the silicon substrate. The patterned mask is then removed and remaining portions of the nitride layer may be converted to an oxynitride. Additionally, a gate oxide may be formed. The slope etched void is then filled with a gate conductor and the surface is planarized in a CMP process. The gate conductor then has a shape wherein its lower surface is smaller than its upper surface. Then, the substrate is isotropically etched to remove portions of the oxide layer and nitride layer unprotected by the gate conductor. The remaining structure includes integrally formed spacers. Active regions, LDD regions and punchthrough regions are then formed to complete formation of the transistor.

摘要： A method for forming a semiconductor device to produce graded doping in the source region and the drain region includes the steps of forming a gate on the surface of the substrate separated from the substrate by a gate oxide, and applying a first ion implantation to implant lightly doped source and drain regions into the substrate, and implanting a material to a portion of the gate oxide over the source region and a portion of the gate oxide over the drain region to vary the rate of oxide formation. An oxide layer is then formed. The resulting oxide layer has at least two thicknesses. Another ion implantation is applied through the formed oxide layer. The ion implantation converts a portion of the lightly doped source region into a heavily doped source region, and converts a portion of the lightly doped drain region into a heavily doped drain region. The implanted ions travel a set distance through the oxide layer formed and into the substrate and more specifically into the source and drain regions formed in the substrate. Therefore, the geometry of the interface between the lightly doped region and the heavily doped region in the source region and the drain region depends on the geometry (thickness and pattern) of oxide layer formed. A set of spacers can also be added after lightly doping the substrate to form the Ldd source and Ldd drain. The geometry of the spacers will also then effect the geometry of the interface between the lightly doped and heavily doped regions within the source and the drain. Also disclosed is a device made by this process as well as an information handling system including such a device.
摘要翻译：一种形成半导体器件以在源极区域和漏极区域中产生渐变掺杂的方法包括以下步骤：通过栅极氧化物在衬底的表面上形成栅极，并施加第一离子注入以轻微地注入掺杂的源极和漏极区域进入衬底，并且将材料注入源极区域上的栅极氧化物的一部分和在漏极区域上的栅极氧化物的一部分以改变氧化物形成速率。然后形成氧化物层。所得到的氧化物层具有至少两个厚度。通过形成的氧化物层施加另一离子注入。离子注入将轻掺杂源区的一部分转换为重掺杂源区，并将轻掺杂漏区的一部分转换为重掺杂漏极区。注入的离子通过形成的氧化物层进入设置的距离，并进一步具体地进入形成在衬底中的源区和漏区。因此，源极区域和漏极区域中的轻掺杂区域和重掺杂区域之间的界面的几何形状取决于形成的氧化物层的几何形状（厚度和图案）。在轻掺杂衬底以形成Ldd源和Ldd漏极之后，也可以添加一组间隔物。间隔物的几何形状还将影响源极和漏极之间的轻掺杂区域和重掺杂区域之间的界面的几何形状。还公开了通过该方法制造的装置以及包括这种装置的信息处理系统。
