    Abstract: A method for forming a barrier layer comprising the steps of first providing a semiconductor substrate that has a conductive layer already formed thereon. Then, a dielectric layer such as an organic low-k dielectric layer is deposited over the conductive layer and the semiconductor substrate. Next, an opening in formed in the dielectric layer exposing the conductive layer. Thereafter, a first barrier layer is deposited into the opening and the surrounding area. The first barrier layer can be a silicon-contained layer or a doped silicon (doped-Si) layer formed by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method, an electron beam evaporation method or a sputtering method. Finally, a second barrier layer is formed over the first barrier layer. The second barrier layer can be a titanium/titanium nitride (Ti/TiN) layer, a tungsten nitride (WN) layer, a tantalum (Ta) layer or a tantalum nitride (TaN) layer.

    Abstract: The integral process is compatible with the LOGIC self-aligned titanium silicide (SALICIDE) and N+/P+ poly dual gate process modules. The method comprises (i) providing a substrate having shallow trench isolation areas (31) for defining at least a local interconnection and an active area, (ii) forming first and second gate electrodes respectively on the local interconnect area and the active area, each electrode respectively having a gate oxide layer (32), a polysilicon layer (33a,b) above the gate oxide layer, a silicide layer (34a,b) and a first isolation layer (35a,b), (iii) forming source/drain regions (36) in the substrate by ion implantation using the gate electrodes as masks, (iv) forming spacers (37a,b,c,d) around the gate electrodes, (v) etching a portion of the first gate electrode and a portion of the first spacer to expose a portion of the silicide layer of the first gate electrode, (vi) eliminating the exposed portion of the gate oxide layer, (vii) forming a self-aligned silicide layer (42a,b,c) on the surface of the source/drain regions, and (viii) forming a second isolation layer (44) and a dielectric layer (43a) over the second isolation layer, etching a portion of the second isolation layer and the dielectric layer to form a first opening above the local interconnect area and a second opening above the active area. The first opening exposes portions of the first gate electrode, the silicide layer, the first spacer and the self-aligned silicide layer on the surface of the source/drain region of the first electrode. The second opening exposes portions of the second gate electrode, the second spacer and the self-aligned silicide layer on the surface of the source/drain region of the second electrode.

    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: Production of an IC component, with embedded DRAM circuits and logic circuits on a single substrate, involves (a) producing transfer FETs (104) in and on embedded DRAM circuit regions of the substrate (100); (b) producing logic FETs (120) in and on the logic circuit regions of the substrate (100); (c) forming a first insulating layer (136) on the transfer FETs (104) and on the logic FET (120)s; (d) defining first and second openings (146, 148) in the first insulating layer to expose the source/drain regions (138, 140) of at least one of the transfer FETs (104) and defining a third opening (150) to expose at least one conductor (134) within the logic circuit; (e) producing a first conductive layer (152) on the first insulating layer and within the openings for contacting one of the source/drain regions of a transfer FET (104), the conductive layer not filling the first opening (146); (f) producing a capacitor dielectric layer and then a second conductive layer within the first opening (146); and (g) patterning the conductive layers for laterally delimiting the upper and lower electrodes of a charge storage capacitor of an embedded DRAM.
