  • Publication number: 20050059192
    Abstract: First, a substrate with a polysilicon film is provided. Then, a gate insulating layer and a gate are formed on the polysilicon film in sequence. An ion implantation process is performed to form a source and a drain around the gate. After that, a first plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process is performed to form a silicon nitride layer over the substrate and the gate. A second plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process is then performed to form a TEOS based silicon oxide layer on the silicon nitride layer. A photo-etching process follows to form a contact hole extending through to the source and drain respectively. Then, a conductive layer is filled into the contact holes and electrically connected to the source and drain.
