Abstract

Abstract A novel semiconductor device and method of production of such a device are provided. Both the N and P channels of the novel semiconductor device are formed by contact self-alignment, thereby permitting high speed operation and high density integration to be realized. The formation of the channels by contact self-alignment is accomplished by depositing a P type polysilicon layer on an N well region and an N type polysilicon layer on a P well region. A silicide layer is formed over both the P and N type polysilicon layers to form a polycide.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 136 words
A method for making a semiconductor device comprising: forming a non-doped polysilicon gate on a gate insulating film on a substrate having a P well region on an N well region; injecting low concentration ions into the P and N well regions using the non-doped polysilicon gate as a mask; forming silicon dioxide sidewalls on both sides of the polysilicon gate; depositing a refractory metal film on the surface; thermally activating the refractory metal film to form a silicide film; etching the unactivated refractory metal film to form polysilicon gates and source-drain regions; injecting high concentration ions into the P and N channel regions; depositing a phosphoric silicate glass on the surface and lamp annealing the structure; etching the phosphoric silicate glass to form a contact hole; and forming a conductive connector in the contact hole.
