  • Publication number: 20050156252
    Abstract: The method of forming a polycide gate includes forming a pad oxide layer on a substrate. A first conductive layer is formed on the pad oxide layer. Subsequently, a first ion implantation into the first conductive layer is next performed to form deep implantation region of polysilicon. Successively, a second ion implantation into the first conductive layer is performed to form shallow implantation region of polysilicon, wherein the second ion type is the same as the first ion type. A second conductive layer formed on the first conductive layer. A further patterned photoresist layer is formed on the second conductive layer. Next, a dry etching process one time by way of using the patterned photoresist layer as an etching mask is performed to etch through in turn the second conductive layer, the first conductive layer and the pad oxide layer until forming a gate with double polysilicon implantation, thereby forming a polycide gate. Finally, the photoresist layer is then removed.

  • Patent number: 6306760
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming a self-aligned contact hole on a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer comprises a substrate, an array area and a periphery area. The array area comprises a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode adjacent to the first gate electrode. The periphery area comprises at least a third gate electrode. A first doped area is formed over each of two opposite sides of each gate electrode. A first spacer is formed on a wall of each of the two opposite sides of the third gate electrode in the periphery area. Then, a second spacer is formed on a wall of each of the two opposite sides of the first and second gate electrodes in the array area. The first spacers are thicker than the second spacers, and the second spacers between the first and second gate electrodes are internal walls of a self-aligned contact hole between the first and second gate electrodes.

  • Patent number: 6238958
    Abstract: A method for forming a transistor in integrated circuits is disclosed. The method includes the following steps. A substrate is first provided. An insulating layer is then formed on the substrate. A conductor layer is formed on the insulating layer. Subsequently, a patterned photoresist layer is formed on the conductor layer. Next, an etch process is used to etch the conductor layer which has a sidewall. The patterned photoresist layer is then removed. After forming a liner layer on the sidewall of the conductor layer, a lightly doped drain is formed on and in the substrate. Then, a spacer is formed on the liner layer. Thereafter, a proper process is used to introduce ions into the lightly doped drain, and then a source/drain region is completed. The steps with follow include annealing the source/drain region and removing the spacer. Subsequently, an epi-silicon layer is formed on the lightly doped drain region, the source/drain region and the top surface of the conductor layer.
