Abstract

Abstract CMOS transistors are fabricated in a P substrate using N- well regions. These wells are positioned to prevent aluminum spiking in the N channel devices. After P guard rings are formed for both P and N channel devices, additional masking and implantation are performed to produce N guard rings in the P channel devices. Before the transistors are formed, an implantation of P type impurities is performed causing the P channel devices, when they are formed, to have a PMOS buried channel.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 206 words
A method of fabricating complimentary P-channel and N-channel insulated gate field effect transistors in a P-conductivity type substrate which comprises the steps of: (a) forming a first masking layer over said substrate with a first opening to define the surface of said P-channel transistor, and a second and third opening at the surface areas at which a source and drain of said N-channel transistor is to be formed; (b) simultaneously introducing impurities into said substrate through said first, second and third openings to form a deep N-conductivity type well region in which said P-channel transistor is to be formed and to form deep N-conductivity type well regions in which respectively said source and drain of said N-channel transistor is to be formed; (c) removing said first masking layer; (d) growing a gate oxide layer over the substrate region at which said N-channel transistor is to be formed; (e) forming a conductive gate over a central portion of said N-channel transistor region; and (f) implanating N-type impurities through said gate oxide on either side of said gate into said source and drain areas to form said source and drain of said N-type transistor which are substantially more heavily doped and shallower than said corresponding underlying N-type wells.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 206 words
A method of fabricating complimentary P-channel and N-channel insulated gate field effect transistors in a P-conductivity type substrate which comprises the steps of: (a) forming a first masking layer over said substrate with a first opening to define the surface of said P-channel transistor, and a second and third opening at the surface areas at which a source and drain of said N-channel transistor is to be formed; (b) simultaneously introducing impurities into said substrate through said first, second and third openings to form a deep N-conductivity type well region in which said P-channel transistor is to be formed and to form deep N-conductivity type well regions in which respectively said source and drain of said N-channel transistor is to be formed; (c) removing said first masking layer; (d) growing a gate oxide layer over the substrate region at which said N-channel transistor is to be formed; (e) forming a conductive gate over a central portion of said N-channel transistor region; and (f) implanating N-type impurities through said gate oxide on either side of said gate into said source and drain areas to form said source and drain of said N-type transistor which are substantially more heavily doped and shallower than said corresponding underlying N-type wells.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 58 words
The method of claim 1 additionally comprising depositing one and another aluminum conductors over said substrate selectively contacting central portions respectively of said source and said drain, so that any penetration of said aluminum conductors through said shallow source and/or said shallow drain will be prevented by said underlying N-wells from contacting and shorting to said P-type substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 44 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said forming and said gate is accomplished by depositing a layer of polycrystalline silicon material over said oxide layer and removing portions of said silicon layer to define said gate that is formed of said polycrystalline silicon material.
