    Abstract: A method of making a self-aligned silicide which has an impurity diffusion region in a lower part of the source/drain regions adjacent to the isolating region. The method includes performing an ion implantation operation at a large tilt angle, which increases the junction depth of the source/drain regions and prevents the metallic silicide lying at the edge of the isolating region from getting too close to the source/drain junction and causing unwanted current leakages. The isolating regions are overetched, which exposes the surface of the source/drain regions. The metal silicide layer can thus be formed over the exposed source/drain surfaces, resulting in more surface area for the formation of a wide border contact window, resulting in a lowering of both contact resistance and sheet resistance there.

    Abstract: In a method for fabricating a hemispherical grain silicon structure as a bottom electrode of a capacitor in an integrated circuit, poly-silicon is formed as the seed for nucleation instead of amorphous silicon. A silicon oxide layer 24 provided with a contact hole 22 is formed on a substrate 20. The contact hole is filled with polysilicon and patterned to form a capacitor electrode 26. Native oxide on the electrode is removed by H 2 or HCI solution and then, using chlorosilane as a precursor, a hemispherical grain silicon structure 28 is grown on the electrode by CVD to increase its capacitance. The by-products H 2 and HCI of the reaction prevent growth of the structure 28 on the silicon oxide layer 24.

    Abstract: A multilevel interconnect is formed which uses air (74) as a dielectric between wiring lines (66) bounded on an upper surface by a capping layer (70). A sacrificial layer is used to separate the wiring lines and is consumed leaving air gaps. A multilevel interconnect is formed which uses air as a dielectric between wiring lines. A pattern of wiring lines is formed over an insulating layer (62), a first wiring line is laterally separated from a second wiring line by a sacrificial layer. The surface of this layer is recessed below the surfaces of the wiring lines. A capping layer (70) is formed over the recessed surface and the wiring lines. The sacrificial layer is consumed through the capping layer leaving an air dielectric (74) between the two wiring lines bounded on an upper surface by the capping layer.

    Abstract: A high capacitance charge storage capacitor for a DRAM has a lower electrode in contact with one source/drain region 22 of a transfer FET. The lower capacitor electrode includes a first layer of polysilicon 36 deposited over part of the transfer FET and in contact with the source/drain region of the transfer FET. An oxide layer (38) is deposited over the first polysilicon layer and then a sparse layer of hemispherical grained polysilicon 40 is deposited on the surface of the oxide layer. The sparse layer of hemispherical grained polysilicon has grains on the order of approximately 100 nanometers across that are separated on the average by approximately 100 nanometers. The layer of oxide (38) is etched using the sparse grains of hemispherical grained polysilicon as a mask, with the etch process stopping on the surface of the first layer of polysilicon 36. A second layer of polysilicon 44 is deposited over the remaining grains of hemispherical grained polysilicon and over the column-shaped portions of the oxide layer 42 left by the etching stop. A capacitor dielectric 46 is formed over the second layer of polysilicon and then an upper capacitor electrode 50 is provided.
