Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of a semi-conductor structure comprising a plurality of gate stacks (GS1 - GS8) which are arranged on a semi-conductor substrate (1). Said method comprises the following steps: applying the gate-stack (GS1 - GS8) to a gate dielectric (5) via the semi-conductor substrate (1); implanting doping (100, 105, 110, 120, 130; 105''', 110''', 120''', 130''', 140''') which is self-adjusted in relation to the edges of the gate stack (GS1 - GS8); and forming an side wall oxide (40) on the free side walls of the gate stack (GS1 - GS8) while at the same time forming diffused doping areas (100', 110', 120', 130'; 110''', 120''', 130''', 140''') below the gate stack. The invention also relates to said type of semi-conductor structure.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for production of contacts on a wafer, preferably with the aid of a lithographic process. The preferred embodiment provides a method which overcomes the disadvantages of the complex point/hole lithography process, and which avoids any increase in the process complexity. This method is achieved in that a strip structure extending over two layers is used to structure the contacts. The strip structure in the first layer is rotated at a predetermined angle with respect to the strip structure in the second layer, and the contacts are formed in the mutually overlapping areas of the strip structures in the two layers.
