Abstract:
A lightly doped drain, field effect transistor with an inverted "T"-gate structure has a gate electrode disposed on a polysilicon pad in a stack opening. The inner edge of a lightly-doped source and drain region is aligned with the gate electrode and its outer edge is aligned with an edge of the polysilicon pad. The inner edge of a heavily-doped source and drain region is aligned with the edge of the edge of the polysilicon pad and its outer edge is aligned with the wall surface that forms the opening. The inner edge of a source and drain contact region is aligned with the wall and extends under the stack.
Abstract:
A method of forming an LDD field effect transistor with an inverted "T"-gate structure in which consecutive, conformal layers of polysilicon, metal and nitride or oxide are deposited to fill the recess in a composite interconnect layer on top of a trench isolated region of a semiconductor substrate. These conformal layers successively decrease in thickness and are selectively etched in two steps to form a self-aligned inverted T structure. A first reactive ion etch (RIE) step preferentially etches the exposed outer polysilicon to a certain depth. During a second step RIE the polysilicon layer is completely etched down to the a gate oxide surface and the metal layer is preferentially etched so that subtends only the remaining nitride or oxide cap.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing LDD MOS FET RAM capable of delineating short (less than 1 micrometer) lightly doped drain regions. An N.sup.- implant is effected between gate electrodes and field oxide insulators, before the N.sup.+ implant. An insulator layer is then deposited also prior to N.sup.+ ion implantation. Reactive ion etching of the layer leaves narrow dimensioned insulator regions adjacent the gate electrode which serves to protect portions of the N.sup.- impurity region during the subsequent N.sup.+ implant. These protected regions are the lightly doped source/drain regions.

Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device on a body of semiconductor material having a first doped region of a first conductivity type, comprising the steps of: forming a stud over the first doped region; using the stud as a mask to form a second doped region of a second conductivity type in the surface of the first doped region adjoining the stud; forming a sidewall of insulating material on the stud; forming a first device contact within the sidewall; and forming a second device contact over the second doped region adjoining the sidewall, such that the first and second electrical contacts are separated by the sidewall.In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming the second device contact includes the steps of forming a layer of conductive material generally conformally over the first doped region and the stud, and then planarizing the layer of conductive material to a height equal to or less than that of the sidewalls. The second contact is thus self-aligned with the first and second doped regions and the first device contact.The method of the present invention can be utilized to fabricate bipolar transistors, insulated gate transistors, and BICMOS logic including both types of transistors. It can further be used to fabricate any other type of semiconductor device which utilizes the self-aligned, closely spaced device regions and contacts of the present invention.

Disclosed is a self-aligned process for providing an improved bipolar transistor structure.The process includes the chemically etching of an intermediate insulating layer to undercut another top layer of a different insulating material in a self-aligned emitter process wherein the spacing of the emitter contact to the polysilicon base contact is reduced to a magnitude of approximately 0.2 to 0.3 micrometers. In addition, in the process an emitter plug is formed to block the emitter region from the heavy P+ ion dose implant of the extrinsic base.
