Abstract

Abstract The disclosure relates to the making of the source and drain access regions of a field-effect transistor, these two regions being differentiated. The control region is defined by means of a three-layer mask of metal, resin and metal. A resin mask protects the drain access region, thus enabling the implantation of the source access region. After the dissolving of the resins, the drain access region is implanted.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 77 words
A method for the manufacture of a transistor, wherein access regions of said transistor, on each of a control region are differentiated, said method implementing techniques of self-alignment and using a four-layer mask comprising a first metal layer formed above a substrate, a first resin layer which is annealed and formed on said first metal layer, a second metal layer formed on said first resin layer, and a second resin layer formed on said second metal layer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 77 words
A method for the manufacture of a transistor, wherein access regions of said transistor, on each of a control region are differentiated, said method implementing techniques of self-alignment and using a four-layer mask comprising a first metal layer formed above a substrate, a first resin layer which is annealed and formed on said first metal layer, a second metal layer formed on said first resin layer, and a second resin layer formed on said second metal layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 255 words
A method according to claim 1, comprising the following steps: a) on said substrate of semiconductor material, the implantation of a p - type doped layer and then of an n - type doped layer; b) successive deposits of said first metal layer, said first resin layer, said second metal layer, and said second resin layer, in which there is defined a mask corresponding to the control electrode of the transistor, c) first etching of said second metal layer, second etching of said first resin layer, third etching of said first metal layer, d) over-etching of the metal pattern remaining beneath said first resin layer after said etching thereof, e) deposition of a third resin layer and etching, in said third resin layer, of a mask having a first edge vertically above and aligned with said over-etched metal pattern and having a second edge vertically above a future second contact zone of the access electrode, f) n + type ion implantation of the two access electrode contact zones, g) partial etching of the pattern of the first resin layer not protected by the mask of the third resin layer and n' type ion implantation of the first access region located between the over-etched pattern and a first access zone, said n + type ion implantation being greater in impurity concentration than said n - type ion implantation, and h) dissolving of the remaining resin masks and n' type ion implantation of the second access region located between the over-etched pattern and a second access zone.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 43 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein the transistor is a field-effect transistor, of which: the first access region is the source; the second access region is the drain; the control region is the channel located beneath the over-etched pattern constituting the gate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein the first resin layer undergoes a cross-linkage annealing operation at high temperature of 260° C. and wherein the third layer of resin has a thickness greater than that of the first resin layer.
