    摘要: A silicide gate contact is formed which is relatively thicker than silicide contacts formed over source/drain regions and shallow junction extensions. A metal layer is first deposited to form silicide over the polysilicon gate and the source/drain extension regions. The silicide is removed from the extension regions, forming shallow junctions, and a layer of silicide remains on the polysilicon gate. A second metal deposition step and silicidation step forms silicide contacts over the source/drain regions and the polysilicon gate. The resulting silicide gate contact is thicker than the resulting silicide contacts over the source/drain regions.

    摘要: Salicide processing is implemented with nitrogen-rich silicon nitride sidewall spacers that allow a metal silicide layer e.g., NiSi, to be formed over the polysilicon gate electrode and source/drain regions using salicide technology without associated bridging between the metal silicide layer on the gate electrode and the metal silicide layers over the source/drain regions. Bridging between a metal silicide e.g., nickel silicide, layer on a gate electrode and metal silicide layers on associated source/drain regions is avoided by forming nitrogen-rich silicon nitride sidewall spacers with increased nitrogen, thereby eliminating free Si available to react with the metal subsequently deposited and thus avoiding the formation of metal silicide on the sidewall spacers.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a MOSFET semiconductor device comprises providing a gate electrode having first and second opposing sidewalls over a substrate having source/drain regions; providing a gate oxide between the gate electrode and the substrate; forming first and second sidewall spacers respectively disposed adjacent the first and second sidewalls; forming nickel silicide layers disposed on the source/drain regions and the gate electrode, and two etching steps. The nickel silicide layers are formed during a rapid thermal anneal at temperatures from about 380 to 600° C. The first etch is performed with a sulfuric peroxide mix to remove unreacted nickel, and the second etch is performed with an ammonia peroxide mix to remove nickel silicide formed over the first and second sidewall spacers.

    摘要: Metal silicides form low resistance contacts on semiconductor devices such as transistors. Rough interfaces are formed between metal silicide contacts, such as NiSi and the source/drain regions of a transistor, such as doped source/drain regions. Interfaces with a high degree of roughness result in increased spiking and junction leakage. Interface roughness is minimized by deeply doping the source/drain regions of a silicon on insulator substrate.

    摘要: A method and system for integrated circuit (IC) processing combines an ion implantation tool and a laser anneal tool in a single unit with a shared precision X-Y scanner. A semiconductor wafer is loaded onto a the X-Y table of the scanner. Data defining the desired ion implantation is used to first customize circuit areas on the semiconductor wafer by gating ON and OFF the ion beam while semiconductor wafer is scanned. Any inadvertent ion beam interruptions are noted by storing the locations of the interruptions. The wafer is then reprocessed to correct faults caused by the interruptions. The laser anneal tool positions the laser beam over the semiconductor wafer it is then scanned while gating the laser beam ON and OFF to custom anneal the wafer devices. Again, any inadvertent laser beam interruptions are detected and the locations of the interruptions are stored for reprocessing to correct faults.

    摘要: Deleterious roughness of metal silicide/doped Si interfaces arising during conventional salicide processing for forming shallow-depth source and drain junction regions of MOS transistors and/or CMOS devices is avoided, or at least substantially reduced, by increasing the dopant implantation energy to position the maximum source/drain dopant concentration depth below rather than above the depth to which silicidation reaction occurs, thereby minimizing the concentration of dopant in the metal silicide. The invention enjoys particular utility in forming NiSi layers on As-doped Si substrates.

    摘要: A process for fabricating a memory cell in a two-bit EEPROM device, includes forming an ONO layer overlying a semiconductor substrate, depositing a resist mask overlying the ONO layer, patterning the resist mask, implanting the semiconductor substrate with a p-type dopant, wherein the resist mask is used as an ion implant mask, and annealing the semiconductor substrate before implanting the semiconductor substrate with an n-type dopant. In one preferred embodiment, the annealing of the semiconductor substrate laterally diffuses the p-type dopants to form pocket regions on either side of the EEPROM device.
