Abstract:
The application of a dissimilar anti-reflective coating on a conductive layer during photolithographic processing is avoided, as by modifying a portion of the upper surface (21A) of the conductive layer (21) to exhibit anti-reflective properties. In an embodiment of the present invention, impurity ions are implanted into a portion of the upper surface (21A) of an aluminum or an aluminum-alloy conductive layer (21) to render the upper portion (21A) substantially amorphous and, hence, decrease its reflectivity to perform an anti-reflective function.
Abstract:
A SOI substrate (101) is preamorphized by ion implanting Xe 15 prior to forming source/drain extensions (21) and source/drain regions (41), thereby virtually eliminating or significantly reducing floating body effects. Other aspects comprise ion implanting a Xe 2 + into a bulk silicon or SOI substrate to effect preamorphization prior to forming source/drain extensions and regions having shallow junctions with reduced vertical and lateral straggle.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device formed in a semiconductor substrate with a low hydrogen content barrier layer formed over the semiconductor device. The barrier layer is implanted with phosphorus ions. The semiconductor device may have a hydrogen getter layer formed under the barrier layer. The barrier layer is a high temperature PECVD nitride film, a high temperature PECVD oxynitride film or a high temperature LPCVD nitride film. The hydrogen getter layer is P-doped film having a thickness between 1000 and 2000 Angstroms and is a PSG, BPSG, PTEOS deposited oxide film, or BPTEOS deposited oxide film. Interconnects are made by a tungsten damascene process.
