    • A method for offsetting silicide on a semiconductor device having a polysilicon gate electrode, source and drain regions in a substrate, and source and drain extensions in the substrate, employs a titanium nitride sidewall spacer on the sidewalls of the polysilicon gate electrode. The titanium nitride sidewall spacer prevents silicide growth on top of the source and drain extensions during a salicidation process. The titanium nitride sidewall spacers are then removed by an etching process that does not etch the silicide regions formed in the source and drain regions and the polysilicon gate electrode. Following removal of the titanium nitride sidewall spacers, a low k interlevel dielectric layer or a stress liner may be deposited on top of the devices to enhance device performance.
    • 一种用于在具有多晶硅栅电极,衬底中的源极和漏极区域以及衬底中的源极和漏极延伸部分的半导体器件上偏移硅化物的方法,在多晶硅栅电极的侧壁上采用氮化钛侧壁间隔物。 氮化钛侧壁间隔物防止了在氧化过程中在源极和漏极延伸部分顶部的硅化物生长。 然后通过蚀刻工艺去除氮化钛侧壁间隔物,该蚀刻工艺不蚀刻在源极和漏极区域以及多晶硅栅极电极中形成的硅化物区域。 在移除氮化钛侧壁间隔物之后,可以将低k层间介电层或应力衬垫沉积在器件的顶部以增强器件性能。

    • A method is provided for isotropically etching pairs of sidewall spacers to reduce the lateral thickness of each sidewall spacer. In an embodiment, first and second pairs of sidewall spacers are concurrently formed upon the opposed sidewall surfaces of respective first and second gate conductors. The first and second gate conductors are spaced laterally apart upon isolated first and second active areas of a semiconductor substrate, respectively. Advantageously, a single set of sidewall spacer pairs are used as masking structures during the formation of source and drain regions of an NMOS transistor and LDD areas of a PMOS transistor. That is, the n+ source/drain (“S/D”) implant is self-aligned to the outer lateral edge of the first pair of sidewall spacers prior to reducing the lateral thicknesses of the sidewall spacers. However, the p− LDD implant is self-aligned to the outer lateral edge of the second pair of sidewall spacers after the spacer thicknesses have been reduced. Therefore, multiple pairs of sidewall spacers need not be formed laterally adjacent the sidewall surfaces of the gate conductors to vary the spacing between the implant regions and the gate conductors of the ensuing integrated circuit.
    • 提供了一种用于各向同性蚀刻侧壁间隔物对以减少每个侧壁间隔物的横向厚度的方法。 在一个实施例中,第一和第二对侧壁间隔件同时形成在相应的第一和第二栅极导体的相对的侧壁表面上。 第一和第二栅极导体分别在半导体衬底的隔离的第一和第二有源区域上横向间隔开。 有利地,在形成PMOS晶体管的NMOS晶体管和LDD区域的源极和漏极区域期间,单个侧壁间隔物对被用作掩模结构。 也就是说,在减少侧壁间隔物的横向厚度之前,n +源极/漏极(“S / D”)植入物在第一对侧壁间隔物的外侧边缘上自对准。 然而,在间隔物厚度减小之后,p-LDD植入物自对准到第二对侧壁间隔物的外侧边缘。 因此,不需要在栅极导体的侧壁表面附近形成多对侧壁间隔件,以改变注入区域和后续集成电路的栅极导体之间​​的间隔。

    • An integrated circuit transistor and a method for making the same are provided. The transistor is resistant to junction shorts due to the overetch of local interconnect trenches. The transistor includes a source/drain region with a first junction and a second junction that is located deeper than the first junction in the portion of the active area susceptible to the overetch junction short phenomena. The second junction is established by ion implantation through a mask that is patterned to create an opening corresponding to the intersection of the layouts of the active area and the local interconnect trench. Using this method, the second junction is only established where needed to prevent shorting and does not impede transistor performance.

    • The present invention advantageously provides a test structure and method for determining how lithographic patterning of transistor gate conductors laterally spaced from conductors affects the operation of transistors which employ the gate conductors. The test structure includes a sequence of gate conductors interposed above and between a respective sequence of source and drain regions. The test structure further includes a sequence of conductors which have been patterned from the same material as the gate conductors. The conductors are spaced an increasing distance from respective gate conductors. The gate conductors extend beyond the respective source and drain regions by varying distances or by the same distance. Lithographic patterning of the gate conductors and the conductors may result in the edges of the gate conductors and the conductors being substantially round and absent of sharp corners. Further, lithographic patterning may lead to a reduction in the lengths of the gate conductors and the conductors. The length of each gate conductor extends along the same axis as the length of the conductor nearest to the gate conductor.
    • 本发明有利地提供了一种测试结构和方法,用于确定与导体横向间隔开的晶体管栅极导体的平版印刷图案如何影响采用栅极导体的晶体管的操作。 测试结构包括插入在源极和漏极区域的相应序列之间和之间的栅极导体序列。 该测试结构进一步包括一系列导体,该导体序列由与栅极导体相同的材料构图。 导体与相应的栅极导体间隔开增加的距离。 栅极导体通过变化的距离或相同的距离延伸超过相应的源极和漏极区域。 栅极导体和导体的平版印刷图案可能导致栅极导体和导体的边缘基本上圆形且不存在锐角。 此外,光刻图案化可能导致栅极导体和导体的长度减小。 每个栅极导体的长度沿与导体最接近的导体的长度相同的轴线延伸。

    • A semiconductor process in which a trench transistor is formed between a pair of planar transistors such that the source/drain regions of the trench transistor are shared with the source/drain regions of the planar transistors. A substrate is provided and first and second planar transistors are formed upon the upper surface of the substrate. The gate dielectric of the trench transistor is vertically displaced below the upper surface of the substrate. The trench transistor shares a first shared source/drain structure with the first planar transistor and a second shared source/drain structure with the second planar transistor. The formation of the trench transistor preferably includes the steps of etching a trench into the substrate, thermally oxidizing a floor of the trench to form a trench gate dielectric, and filling the trench with a conductive material to form a trench gate structure. The trench floor is vertically displaced below the upper surface of the substrate by a trench depth. The trench depth is preferably greater than a junction depth of the source/drain structures. In one embodiment, the formation of the trench transistor further includes, prior to the thermal oxidation of the trench floor, forming first and second ldd structures within the first and second trench ldd regions of the substrate. The first and second trench ldd structures provide conductive paths that extend from a trench channel region located beneath the trench floor to the first and the second shared source/drain structures respectively.
