Abstract

Abstract A complementary metal-insulator-silicon transistor pair of the field effect type with self-registered gates is produced by introducing doped regions into limited areas of a semiconductive body by ion beam implantation through insulative films overlying the surface of the semiconductor, followed by temperature annealing in order to repair radiation damage caused by the ion beam implantation. Ion bombardment enhanced etching of a Si3N4 layer is used to simplify opening of electrical contact areas.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 155 words
A pair of complementary metal-insulator- silicon field effect transistors of the enhancement mode type with self-registered gates comprising: a. a semiconducting silicon substrate of N-type conductivity; b. an insulating layer comprising a thermally grown silicon oxide overlying said semiconducting substrate; c. an ionically implanted uniformly lightly doped pocket of Ptype conductivity positioned within said substrate and having a surface in the same plane as one surface of said substrate, and where the impurity ions were ionically implanted through said insulating layer; d. a pair of source and drain regions, the first of which is positioned entirely within said ionically implanted pocket and is of N-type conductivity and the second pair is positioned within that part of said semiconducting substrate entirely without said pocket and is of P-type conductivity; e. a pair of self-registered metallic gate layers located on said insulating layer; and f. contacts extending from said gate layers and said source and drain regions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 155 words
A pair of complementary metal-insulator- silicon field effect transistors of the enhancement mode type with self-registered gates comprising: a. a semiconducting silicon substrate of N-type conductivity; b. an insulating layer comprising a thermally grown silicon oxide overlying said semiconducting substrate; c. an ionically implanted uniformly lightly doped pocket of Ptype conductivity positioned within said substrate and having a surface in the same plane as one surface of said substrate, and where the impurity ions were ionically implanted through said insulating layer; d. a pair of source and drain regions, the first of which is positioned entirely within said ionically implanted pocket and is of N-type conductivity and the second pair is positioned within that part of said semiconducting substrate entirely without said pocket and is of P-type conductivity; e. a pair of self-registered metallic gate layers located on said insulating layer; and f. contacts extending from said gate layers and said source and drain regions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The transistor pair of claim 1 in which said silicon oxide insulating layer is overlaid with a protective silicon nitride film.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 43 words
The transistor pair of claim 1 in which the said pair of source and drain regions are ionically implanted with the gate metal serving as the dopant mask and defining the edges of the source and drain regions thereby automatically forming self-registered gates.
