  • Publication number: 20050151274
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device and fabrication method of same includes the processes of forming sacrifice gates on a silicon substrate with the sacrifice gates apart from each other. A first conductive layer is formed on an exposed portion of the silicon substrate between the sacrifice gates and a first inter-insulation layer is formed that exposes the first conductive layer and the sacrifice gates. The exposed sacrifice gates are removed to form openings and damascene gates are subsequently formed in the openings. Capping layers are formed on the top of the gates and a second conductive layer is formed on the exposed first conductive layer. A second inter-insulation layer is formed on the silicon substrate, and bit line contacts that expose the second conductive layer are formed by etching the second inter-insulation layer.

  • Publication number: 20050133836
    Abstract: a A MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) transistor with a trench-type gate is fabricated with a channel stopping region for forming an asymmetric channel region for reducing short channel effects. For example in fabricating an N-channel MOS transistor, a gate structure is formed within a trench that is within a P-well. A channel stopping region with a P-type dopant is formed to a first side of the trench to completely contain an N-type source junction therein. An N-type drain junction is formed within a LDD region to a second side of the trench, thus forming the asymmetric channel region.

  • Patent number: 5895258
    Abstract: A semiconductor fabrication method for forming an insulation film and a first anti-oxidation film sequentially on a substrate which is sectioned into each of a peri region and a cell region. An active pattern is formed in the cell region and a first field ion-implanted region in a first conductive well of the cell region. Side wall spacers are formed on each side wall of the active pattern in the cell region. An active pattern is formed in the peri region by selectively etching the first anti-oxidation film and the insulation film so as to expose a certain surface portion of the peri region substrate therethrough. A first field ion-implanting region is formed in a first conductive well of the peri region by ion-implanting highly concentrated first conductive impurities through the exposed substrate and a second field ion-implanted region in a second conductive well of the peri region.

  • Patent number: 5849626
    Abstract: A method for forming an isolation region of a semiconductor device to improve isolation characteristics between semiconductor devices. A first insulating layer is formed on a substrate, and a second insulating layer is formed on the first insulating layer. A field region of the substrate is defined by selectively removing the second insulating layer. A portion of the surface of the substrate is then exposed by selectively removing the first insulating layer using the second insulating layer as a mask. A third insulating layer is formed on the exposed portion of the substrate. Then insulating sidewalls are formed on sides of the first and second insulating layers. Next, a trench is then formed in the substrate using the second insulating layer and the insulating sidewalls as masks. Finally, a field oxide layer is formed in the trench to isolate semiconductor devices.
