Abstract: The invention discloses a method for reducing a minimum line width in a spacer-defined double patterning process of the present invention. In the method, the silicon nitride spacers can be converted into trenches in the interlayer dielectric layer by using a silicon dioxide film as a mask and by means of a chemically mechanical polishing process and an etching process, so that the minimum line width of the trenches can be determined by the width of the silicon nitride spacers, and thus a smaller line width can be achieved and the process can be simple and easy to control.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for improving the write margins of the SRAM cells. The method comprises: before etching a polysilicon layer to form the polysilicon gates, performing a pre-implantation process to the polysilicon layer; wherein the polysilicon layer defines SRAM NMOSFETs regions and SRAM PMOSFETs regions; wherein the pre-implantation process comprises pre-implanting the fifth-group elements to the SRAM NMOSFETs regions and the NMOSFETs regions except to the SRAM NMOSFETs regions in the polysilicon layer, and pre-implanting the third-group elements to the PMOSFETs regions excluding the SRAM PMOSFETs regions in the polysilicon layer; wherein the process of pre-implanting the third-group elements comprises forming a pre-implantation photo mask capable of covering the SRAM PMOSFETs regions and using the pre-implantation photo mask to pre-implanting the third-group elements.

Abstract: A method for decreasing polysilicon gate resistance in a carbon co-implantation process which includes: depositing a first salicide block layer on a formed gate of a MOS device and etching it to form a first spacer of a side surface of the gate of the MOS device; performing a P-type heavily doped boron implantation process and a thermal annealing treatment, so as to decrease the resistance of the polysilicon gate; removing said first spacer, performing a lightly doped drain process, and performing a carbon co-implantation process at the same time, so as to form ultra-shallow junctions at the interfaces between a substrate and source region and drain region below the gate; re-depositing a second salicide block layer on the gate and etching the mask to form a second spacer; forming a self-aligned silicide on the surface of the MOS device. The invention can decrease the resistance of the P-type polysilicon gate.
