Abstract:
According to the invention, a contact hole is filled with a metal or a metal alloy when a bit line is brought into contact with a selection transistor of a dynamic memory unit on a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor substrate in the contact hole comprises a dopant, and a liner layer is integrated between the semiconductor substrate and the metal filling.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of one (or several) contacts on one or several active areas of a semiconductor disk, whereby one or several insulated control lines can be arranged on the active areas to be contacted. The control lines can, for example, be gate lines. The semiconductor element is produced in the following manner: a polysilicon layer is deposited on the semiconductor disk, the polysilicon layer is structured in order to produce a polysilicon contact over the active area, whereby the polysilicon contact covers the two control lines in an at least partial manner, a first insulator layer is applied to the semiconductor disk incorporating said polysilicon contact, the first insulator layer is partially removed to reveal the covering surface of the polysilicon contact and a metal layer is applied to the semiconductor disk for the electrical contacting of the polysilicon contact.

The invention relates to a method for producing an integrated circuit comprising the following steps: preparing a semi-conductor substrate (1) with a contacting circuit area (SS); providing an insulating layer (IS) on the surface of the semi-conductor substrate (1); providing a contact hole (KL) in the insulating layer (IS) for making contacting the circuit area (SS); providing an insulating spacer area (10`) in at least the area above the contact hole (KL); providing at least three trenches (BG1; BG2; BG3), the first (BG1) of which is arranged next to the contact hole (KL), a second (BG2) is disposed across the contact hole (KL) and a third (BG3) is next to the contact hole (KL). The spacer area (10`) is placed between the first and the second trench (BG1; BG2) and the second and the third trench (BG2; BG3); filling the trenches (BG1; BG2; BG3) with a conductive material; and chemical-mechanical polishing of conductive material for producing three separated trenches (BL1; BL2; BL3).
Abstract:
One (or more) contacts are produced on one or more active areas of a semiconductor wafer, it being possible for one or more isolated control lines to be arranged on the active areas with which contact is to be made. The control lines may, for example, be gate lines. The semiconductor component is fabricated in the following way: application of a polysilicon layer to the semiconductor wafer, patterning of the polysilicon layer, in order to produce a polysilicon contact above the active area, the polysilicon contact at least partly covering the two control lines, application of a first insulator layer to the semiconductor wafer, with the polysilicon contact being embedded, partial removal of the first insulator layer, so that at least the upper surface of the polysilicon contact is uncovered, and application of a metal layer to the semiconductor wafer in order to make electrical contact with the polysilicon contact.
Abstract:
Filling openings in a gate electrode layer on a semiconductor wafer comprises growing a gate oxide layer on the wafer; producing a gate electrode layer on the gate oxide layer; defining opening regions; etching the gate electrode layer up to the gate oxide layer in the opening regions; nitriding the gate oxide layer in the opening regions; and applying a BPSG layer to fill the opening regions. Preferred Features: After exposing the opening regions, an additional oxide layer is thermally produced which is nitrided in a further step. At least one opening region is a source/drain region, in which side wall spacers are exposed in the exposed source/drain region. A source/drain doping is formed in the wafer over the oxide layer in the exposed source/drain region.

Production of contact structures in a metallizing on a semiconductor wafer comprises preparing a wafer (S) having an active region (B); applying a first insulating layer (11) on the wafer; applying a hard mask layer (H) on the insulating layer; forming a contact region on the mask layer in the region of the active region; opening the mask layer in the contact region; depositing a second insulating layer (12) on the structured mask layer; forming a metallizing region on the second insulating layer partially over the structured contact region; opening the second insulating region in the metallizing region; and depositing an electrically conducting layer to fill the trenches. Preferred Features: The hard mask layer is opened and/or the second insulating layer is opened using a photolithographic etching process. The hard mask layer is a nitride layer. The second insulating layer is a siliane oxide layer.
