A wafer having a first implanted region selected from the group comprising a source region and a drain region is provided. The wafer further includes STI areas on either side of a center transistor area. The wafer is patterned down to the first implanted region to form a vertical pillar within the center transistor area using a patterned hardmask. The vertical pillar having side walls. A pad dielectric layer is formed over the wafer, lining the vertical pillar. A nitride layer is formed over the pad dielectric layer. The structure is patterned and etched through the nitride layer and the pad dielectric layer; and into the wafer within the STI areas to form STI trenches within the wafer. The STI trenches are filled with insulative material to form STIs within STI trenches. The patterned nitride and pad dielectric layers are removed. The patterned hardmask is removed. Gate oxide is grown over the exposed portions of the wafer and the vertical pillar. Spacer gates are formed over the gate oxide lined side walls of the vertical pillar. Spacer gate implants are formed within the spacer gates, and a second implanted region is formed within the vertical pillar selected from the group consisting of a drain region and a source region that is not the same as the first implanted region to complete formation of the isolated vertical transistor.

    摘要: An improved MOS transistor and method of making an improved MOS transistor. An MOS transistor having a recessed source drain on a trench sidewall with a replacement gate technique. Holes are formed in the shallow trench isolations, which exposes sidewall of the substrate in the active area. Sidewalls of the substrate are doped in the active area where holes are. Conductive material is then formed in the holes and the conductive material becomes the source and drain regions. The etch stop layer is then removed exposing sidewalls of the conductive material, and oxidizing exposed sidewalls of the conductive material is preformed. Spacers are formed on top of the pad oxide and on the sidewalls of the oxidized portions of the conductive material. The pad oxide layer is removed from the structure but not from under the spacers. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the substrate in the active area between the spacers; and a gate electrode is formed on said gate dielectric layer.

    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.

We form a drain region in top and side portions of the conductive plug and form doped gate regions in the gate layer. The remaining portions of the conductive plug comprise a channel region. A channel length is between the top of the source region and the drain region. We form an interlevel dielectric layer over the barrier layer, the gate layer, and the conductive plug. Contacts are formed through the interlevel dielectric layer to the doped gate regions, the drain region and the source region.

    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.
