    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device can include forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate to define an active region. The trench is filled with a first device isolation layer. A portion of the first device isolation layer is etched to recess a top surface of the first device isolation layer below an adjacent top surface of the active region of the semiconductor substrate and to partially expose a sidewall of the active region. The exposed sidewall of the active region is epitaxially grown to form an extension portion of the active region that extends partially across the top surface of the first device isolation layer in the trench. A second device isolation layer is formed on the recessed first device isolation layer in the trench. The second device isolation layer is etched to expose a top surface of the extension portion of the active region and leave a portion of the second device isolation layer between extension portions of active regions on opposite sides of the trench. An interlayer dielectric is formed on the semiconductor substrate and the second device isolation layer. A conductive contact is formed extending through the interlayer dielectric layer and directly contacting at least a portion of both the active region and the extension portion of the active region overlying the second device isolation layer.

    摘要: Methods of forming field effect transistors include the steps of forming a composite of layers including an amorphous silicon layer (a--Si), a silicon dioxide layer thereon and a silicon nitride layer on the silicon dioxide layer. A polycrystalline silicon conductive layer is then formed on the silicon nitride layer by depositing and patterning polycrystalline silicon. The polycrystalline silicon conductive layer is then oxidized using thermal oxidation techniques to form an oxide outerlayer. During this step, a portion of the polycrystalline silicon conductive layer will be consumed to define a gate electrode. Dopants of first conductivity type are then implanted into a top surface of the silicon nitride layer, using the oxide outerlayer and the gate electrode as a mask, to form relatively lightly doped preliminary source and drain regions in the amorphous silicon layer. The oxide outerlayer is then removed preferably using a buffered oxide etchant (BOE) solution which does not etch silicon nitride. Following this, dopants of first conductivity type are again implanted into the amorphous silicon layer, using the gate electrode as a mask. The second implantation step causes the formation of a field effect transistor having self-aligned source and drain regions, self-aligned lightly doped source and drain region extensions (LDS, LDD) and a channel region therebetween which has the same length as the gate electrode. By forming the channel region to have the same length as the gate electrode, improved device characteristics can be achieved.

    摘要: Methods for etching a metal layer and a metallization method of a semiconductor device using an etching gas that includes Cl2 and N2 are provided. A mask layer is formed on the metal layer, the etching gas is supplied to the metal layer, and the metal layer is etched by the etching gas using the mask layer as an etch mask. The metal layer may be formed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Cl2 and N2 may be mixed at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:10. The etching gas may also include additional gases such as inactive gases or gases that include the elements H, O, F, He, or C. In addition, N2 may be supplied at a flow rate of from 45–65% of the total flow rate of the etching gas, which results in a reduction in the occurrence of micro-loading and cone-shaped defects in semiconductor devices.
