    Abstract: A method of forming thin film pseudo-planar polysilicon gate PFETs (pPFETs) simultaneously with bulk PFET and NFET devices in a CMOS or BiCMOS semiconductor structure including the steps of: a) elaborating a P type silicon substrate (23) having a major surface provided with a plurality of isolation regions (28) as the initial structure; b) delineating polysilicon lands (32A) above certain isolation regions (28E); c) forming N-well regions (35) into the substrate (23) where bulk PFETs are to be subsequently formed; d) forming insulator encapsulated conductive polysilicon studs (39A, ...) to be used in particular as gate electrodes at desired locations of the structure; e) forming self-aligned source/drain regions (50) of the bulk NFETs into the substrate; f) forming self-aligned source/drain regions (52) of the bulk PFETs and pPFETs into the substrate and polysilicon lands respectively; and, g) forming contact regions (53) to the desired locations including said source/drain regions. In particular, the method has applicability in the forming of polysilicon PFETs that are extensively used as load devices in six device (6D) SRAM cells.

    Abstract: A stacked semiconductor structure including: a base structure comprised of a semiconductor substrate (18/19) having active regions (21) of devices (N1, ...) formed therein and a plurality of polysilicon lines (23-1, ...) formed thereupon; a first thick passivating layer (26/27) formed onto said substrate having a set of first metal contact studs (30-1, ...) therein contacting at least one of said active regions (21) and/or said polysilicon lines (23-1, ...), the upper part of said first contact studs defining either gate electrodes of sPFET devices (P2) and/or interconnection conductors; the surface of said first metal contact studs is coplanar with the surface of said first thick passivating layer; a thin insulating layer (31) forming the gate dielectric layer of said PFET devices and provided with contact openings (32-1, ...) to expose desired portions of said first contact studs at desired locations; a plurality of polysilicon lands (33-1, ...) formed over said thin insulating layer (31), a certain portion thereof define the source, drain and channel region of the body of a determined PFET device (P2); at least one of said source and drain regions contacting a first metal contact stud (30-4) through a contact opening; a second thick passivating layer (35/36) having a set of second metal contact studs (38-1, ...) therein contacting at least one of said polysilicon lands (33-1, ...) and/or said first contact studs (30-1, ...); the surface of said second metal contact studs is coplanar with the surface of said second passivating layer. a first metal interconnection configuration having metal lands (39-1, ...) electrically contacting at least one of said second metal contact studs (38-1, ...); and a final insulating film (40). The structure of the present invention can be advantageously used in chips implementing 6D SRAM cells with stacked PFETs as load devices in CMOS FET technology.
