Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a semiconductor fabrication process and more particularly to a process for gate patterning over an active area isolation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

During semiconductor fabrication, a conventional process starts with a wafer substrate 10, as depicted in FIG. 1, that has patterned thin oxide layers 12 separating isolation regions of thick (or field) oxide 11. In the process depicted in FIG. 1, during exposure and patterning of photoresist 15 via reticle 16, light can reflect off of the uneven topology topography of silicide 14 and cause what is know as reflective notching. The reflective notching in the photoresist pattern is then transferred into the underlying conductive layer following a subsequent etch.

As seen from the top view of FIG. 2, a conductive strip 21 shows the results of reflective notching during the exposure of the photoresist that has caused some of the conductive strip to be removed during the etching of the strip. In this case, the conductive strip 21 has been patterned over active area 22 to serve as a control gate to an MOS device. It becomes obvious that this reflective notch is undesirable as it would reduce the reliability of the MOS device.

The present invention addresses the reflective notching problem by forming a planarized conductor on a wafer's surface that has a an uneven topology topography that results from the formation of spaced apart spaced-apart, patterned oxide isolation regions including oxide regions formed by LOCOS trench isolation and other advanced isolation technologies.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is realized in a process for providing a planarized conductor on a non-planar starting substrate, by:

a) forming a first layer of planarized conductive material overlying neighboring isolation regions such that the height of the conductive material extends above the topology topography of the isolation regions; and

b) patterning the first and second conductive material thereby forming the planarized conductor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In a preferred embodiment and referring now to FIG. 3, a silicon substrate 31, has patterned thick oxide isolation regions 32 (formed by a LOCOS isolation), spaced apart by a thin oxide film 33 (i.e. grown gate oxide). Next, a thick layer of conductively doped polysilicon 34 (e.g., a conductive material) is formed overlying thick oxide regions 32 and thin oxide film 33. In this example, thick oxide region extends regions 32 extend approximately 2000Å 2000 ANG above the substrate's surface. Therefore, polysilicon 34 must be thick enough whereby its thickness extends substantially above the 2000Å 2000 ANG height of the thick oxide regions 32. In this case, after planarization of polysilicon 34, 1000Å 1000 ANG of polysilicon 34 remains remain to overlie thick oxide regions 32. Thus, the overall thickness of the polysilicon 34 (e.g., a conductive material layer) after planarization is about 3000 Å. Next a layer of reflective material 35, such as silicide (i.e. tungsten silicide, titanium silicide, etc.) or metal is formed over planarized polysilicon 34. The higher the capability that the reflective material 35 has to reflect the photolithographic light during subsequent patterning of planarized conductive strips, the less susceptible are the patterned conductive strips to reflective notching. The planarization of the conductively doped polysilicon 34 (e.g., a conductive material) can be achieved by abrasion, such as chemical mechanical polishing.

Referring now to FIG. 4 4A, planarized polysilicon 34 and silicide 35 are patterned to form planarized conductive strips 41 that will serve as (planarized) control gates to a MOS transistor.

As an alternative to FIGS. 3 and 4a, FIG. 4b show 4A, FIG. 4B shows planarized conductive strips 42 that is are formed out of polysilicon only.

As another alternative to FIGS. 3 and 4a, FIG. 4c show 4A, FIG. 4C shows planarized conductive strips 43 that are formed out of polysilicon 34, silicide 35 and a partially reflective insulator 37 (such as nitride).

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment depicting the use of the process steps of the present invention wherein a thick oxide is patterned and etched to form thick blocks of isolation oxide 52 that is are spaced apart by a thin gate oxide 51 that results from the etching of thick oxide 52. To form gate oxide 51, the thick oxide is etched to bare silicon and then a thin gate oxide is thermally grown on silicon 31. The process steps than then follow those discussed in FIGS. 3 and 4 and to form resultant planarized conductive strips 53 that will serve as (planarized) control gates to a MOS transistor.

FIG. 6 is a flow diagram depicting the general process steps of the present invention described above wherein; Step A : Step 1 comprises forming a planarized conductive layer over an a non-planar substrate; Alternate Step B Step 1.1 comprises forming a second conductive layer on the planarized conductive layer of Step A Step 1; and Step C Step 3 comprises patterned patterning the conductive layers of Steps A and C Steps 1 and 3 to form a planarized conductor.

From the process steps described in the two embodiments above, one skilled in the art could utilize these steps to form planarized conductive strips on an a non-planarized surface wherein the conductive strips comprise various conductive materials including multiple doped polysilicon layers, metal layers and any combination thereof.

Therefore, it is to be understood that although the present invention has been described with reference to several embodiments, various modifications, known to those skilled in the art, may be made to the structure and process steps presented herein without departing from the invention as recited in the several claims appended hereto.
