摘要： A method to form elevated source/drain (S/D) over staircase shaped openings in insulating layers. A gate structure is formed over a substrate. The gate structure is preferably comprised of a gate dielectric layer, gate electrode, first spacers, and hard mask. A first insulating layer is formed over the substrate and the gate structure. A resist layer is formed having an opening over the gate structure and over a lateral area adjacent to the gate structure. We etch the insulating layer through the opening in the resist layer. The etching removes a first thickness of the insulating layer to form a source/drain (S/D) opening. We remove the first spacers and hardmask to form a source/drain (S/D) contact opening. We implant ions into the substrate through the source/drain (S/D) contact opening to form lightly doped drain regions. We form second spacers on the sidewalls of the gate electrode and the gate dielectric and on the sidewalls of the insulating layer in the source/drain (S/D) contact opening and the source/drain (S/D) opening. A conductive layer is deposited over the gate electrode, the insulating layer. The conductive layer is planarized to exposed the insulating layer to form elevated source/drain (S/D) blocks on a staircase shape insulating layer.

摘要： The invention describes three embodiments of methods for forming a balloon shaped STI trench. The first embodiment begins by forming a barrier layer over a substrate. An isolation opening is formed in the barrier layer. Next, ions are implanted into said substrate through said isolation opening to form a Si damaged or doped first region. The first region is selectively etching to form a hole. The hole is filled with an insulating material to form a balloon shaped shallow trench isolation (STI) region. The substrate has active areas between said balloon shaped shallow trench isolation (STI) regions. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment by forming a trench in the substrate before the implant. The third embodiment forms a liner in the trench before an isotropic etch of the substrate through the trench.

摘要： A method for forming a transistor having low overlap capacitance by forming a microtrench at the gate edge to reduce effective dielectric constant is described. A gate electrode is provided overlying a gate dielectric layer on a substrate and having a hard mask layer thereover. An oxide layer is formed overlying the substrate. First spacers are formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode and overlying the oxide layer. Source/drain extensions are implanted. Second spacers are formed on the first spacers. Source/drain regions are implanted. A dielectric layer is deposited overlying the gate electrode and the oxide layer and planarized to the hard mask layer whereby the first and second spacers are exposed. The exposed second spacers and underlying oxide layer are removed. The exposed substrate underlying the second spacers is etched into to form a microtrench undercutting the gate oxide layer at an edge of the gate electrode. The microtrench is filled with an epitaxial oxide layer and planarized to the hard mask layer. The dielectric layer is patterned to form third spacers on the epitaxial oxide layer. The microtrench reduces the effective dielectric constant at the overlap between the gate and the source/drain extensions to complete formation of a transistor having low overlap capacitance.

摘要： A method for a self aligned TX with elevated source/drain (S/D) regions on an insulated layer (oxide) by forming a trench along side the STI and filling the trench with oxide. STI regions are formed in a substrate. A gate structure is formed. LDD regions are formed adjacent to the gate structure in the substrate. Spacers are formed on the sidewall of the gate structure. We etch S/D trenches between the STI regions and the first spacers. The S/D trenches are filled with a S/D insulating layer. Elevated S/D regions are formed over the S/D insulating layer and the LDD regions. A top isolation layer is formed over the STI regions. The invention builds the raised source/drain (S/D) regions on an insulating layer and reduces junction leakage and hot carrier degradation to gate oxide.
