    • A method is provided for forming intermediate levels in an integrated circuit dielectric during a damascene process using a hard mask layer to transfer the pattern of a photoresist mask having at least one intermediate thickness. The dielectric is covered with a hard mask layer, and the hard mask layer is covered with the photoresist mask. The photoresist mask pattern is transferred into the hard mask pattern so that the hard mask pattern has at least one intermediate thickness. The method forms an interconnect to a first depth in the dielectric through an opening in the hard mask pattern. The hard mask pattern is partially etched away in the area of the intermediate thickness to reveal a second dielectric surface area. The second dielectric surface area is etched to a second depth, less than the first depth. In this manner, vias can be formed to the first depth, and lines can be formed at a second depth to intersect the vias. The use of a relatively thin hard mask pattern reduces the degradation of vertical surface features, due to faceting, which generally occurs with the use of a thicker photoresist pattern. The method of the present invention allows a multi-level damascene process to be used to form features with relatively small geometries in the dielectric.
    • 提供一种用于在镶嵌工艺期间在集成电路电介质中形成中间层的方法,其中使用硬掩模层来传递具有至少一个中间厚度的光致抗蚀剂掩模的图案。 电介质用硬掩模层覆盖,并且硬掩模层被光致抗蚀剂掩模覆盖。 将光致抗蚀剂掩模图案转印到硬掩模图案中,使得硬掩模图案具有至少一个中间厚度。 该方法通过硬掩模图案中的开口形成到电介质中的第一深度的互连。 硬掩模图案在中间厚度的区域中被部分地蚀刻掉以露出第二电介质表面积。 第二电介质表面积被蚀刻到比第一深度小的第二深度。 以这种方式,可以将通孔形成为第一深度,并且可以在第二深度处形成线以与通孔相交。 使用相对薄的硬掩模图案由于刻面而减少垂直表面特征的劣化,这通常通过使用较厚的光致抗蚀剂图案而发生。 本发明的方法允许使用多层镶嵌工艺来形成电介质中具有较小几何形状的特征。

    • A process of forming silicide at uniform rates across the entire source/drain region is provided. A two-step annealing method permits the thickness of the silicide formed on the edge of a silicon electrode to be substantially the same as it is in the center of the electrode. A first, low temperature anneal begins the salicidation process across the source/drain electrode surface. The time and temperature are controlled so that the metal is only partially consumed. The annealing is interrupted to remove excess silicidation metal, especially the unreacted metal overlying oxide areas neighboring the silicon electrode. Then, the silicidation is completed at a higher temperature anneal. Because the excess metal has been removed, the resulting silicide layer is uniformly flat, permitting the transistor to be fabricated with shallow junction areas and low leakage currents. In one embodiment of the invention, the crystalline structure of source and drain surfaces is annihilated before the deposition of metal, to lower annealing temperatures and add precise control to the silicidation process. A transistor having a uniformly thick silicide layer, fabricated in accordance with the above-mentioned method, is also provided.
    • 提供了在整个源极/漏极区域以均匀的速率形成硅化物的工艺。 两步退火方法允许形成在硅电极边缘上的硅化物的厚度与电极中心基本相同。 首先,低温退火开始跨越源/漏电极表面的盐析过程。 控制时间和温度,使得金属仅被部分消耗。 中断退火以去除过量的硅化金属,特别是覆盖与硅电极相邻的氧化物区域的未反应的金属。 然后,在较高温度的退火下完成硅化。 由于去除了多余的金属,所得到的硅化物层是均匀平坦的,从而允许晶体管被制造成具有浅结的区域和低的漏电流。 在本发明的一个实施例中,源极和漏极表面的晶体结构在金属沉积之前被消除,以降低退火温度并且增加对硅化工艺的精确控制。 还提供了具有根据上述方法制造的均匀厚的硅化物层的晶体管。

    • A method of forming a temporary overhang structure to shield the source/drain edges near the gate electrode from the deposition of silicidation metal is provided. The growth of silicide on the source/drain regions remains controlled, without the presence of silicidation metal on the gate electrode sidewalls near the source/drain edges. The resulting silicide layer does not have edge growths interfering with the source/drain junction areas. The overhang structure is formed by covering the gate electrode with two insulators having differing etch selectivities. The top insulator is anisotropically etched so that only the top insulator covering the gate electrode vertical sidewalls remains. The exposed bottom insulator is isotropically etched to form a gap between the top insulator and the source/drain region surfaces. When silicidation metal is deposited, the gap prevents the deposition of metal between the gate electrode and the source/drain region surfaces. A transistor, with an overhang structure, fabricated by the above-mentioned procedure is also provided.

    • A method of forming the FEM cell semi-conductor structure includes forming a device area for the ferroelectric memory (FEM) gate unit on a silicon substrate. Appropriate impurities are implanted into the device area to form conductive channels, for use as a source junction region, a gate junction region and a drain junction region. A FEM cell includes a FEM gate unit formed on the substrate. A gate junction region is formed between the source junction region and the drain junction region for the FEM gate unit on the FEM gate unit device area, which FEM gate unit includes a lower metal layer, a ferroelectric (FE) layer, and an upper metal layer. A shallow junction layer is formed between the FEM gate unit and the gate junction region, as another conductive channel, which extends into the drain junction region. The FEM gate unit is spaced apart from the source region and the drain region, as is the conductive channel between the FEM gate unit and the gate junction region. Formation of the various conductive channels may take place at various stages of the manufacture, depending on what other devices are built on the substrate, and depending on the efficiencies of the various orders of construction. The structure of the FEM cell semiconductor includes a substrate, which may be a bulk silicon substrate or an SOI-type substrate. Conductive channels of two types are located above the substrate.
