Abstract: A method for fabricating a periodic table group III-IV metal semiconductor metal field-effect enhancement mode complementary transistor pair device is described, a device typically made of gallium arsenide materials. The disclosed fabrication uses initially undoped semiconductor materials, single metallization for ohmic and Schottky barrier contacts, employs a non-alloyed ohmic contact semiconductor layer and includes an inorganic dielectric material layer providing non photosensitive masking at plural points in the fabrication sequence. The invention uses selective ion implantations, and a combined optical and electron beam lithographic process, the latter in small dimension gate areas. These attributes are combined to provide a field-effect transistor complementary pair of reduced fabrication cost, low electrical energy operating requirements increased dimensional accuracy and current state of the art electrical performance. Fabricated device characteristics are also disclosed.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a junction field effect transistor, promising a low ON resistance, high maximum drain current and linearity with a high transmission gain and also enabling the gate length to be reduced, makes a channel layer by sequentially epitaxially growing an undoped GaAs layer, n.sup.+ -type GaAs layer and n-type GaAs layer on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate via a GaAs buffer layer. Through an opening formed in a diffusion mask in form of a SiN.sub.x film on the n-type GaAs layer, Zn is diffused into the n-type GaAs layer to form a p.sup.+ -type gate region. From above the diffusion mask, a gate metal layer is deposited, and patterned to make a gate electrode in the opening of the diffusion mask in self-alignment with the p.sup.+ -type gate region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual damascene structure and its manufacturing method. The invention uses two implanting step to form two stop layers. It uses the stop layers to perform an anisotropic etching step so as to form a via and trench. Finally, a conductive layer is filled into the via and trench followed by the completion of forming of the dual damascene structure. The invention controls the etching stop. Another advantage of the present invention is that of using the spacer as the trench mask instead of the multi-mask. Therefore, misalignment is prevented in the present invention.

Abstract: A method for fabricating an anti-fuse cell using an undoped polysilicon film as a mask in defining the anti-fuse window is described. A layer of silicon oxide is provided over the surface of a semiconductor substrate. A first undoped polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the silicon oxide layer. The first undoped polysilicon layer is covered with a photoresist layer patterned to form a mask. The first undoped polysilicon layer and a portion of the silicon oxide layer are etched away where they are not covered by the mask to form a cell opening. The mask and the remaining silicon oxide within the cell opening are removed. An insulating layer is deposited over the surface of the first undoped polysilicon layer and within the cell opening. A second polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the insulating layer and doped. The second polysilicon layer is patterned to form an anti-fuse cell. Gate electrodes and source and drain regions are formed completing the fabrication of the integrated circuit device.
