-
FIGS. 1 through 7 are sectional views illustrating a transistor device and a method for fabricating the same according to embodiments. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , afirst insulation layer 3 and a second insulation layer 5 are deposited over asemiconductor substrate 1. A firstphotoresist mask layer 100 is formed over the insulating layers for etching thefirst insulation layer 3 and the second insulation layer 5.First insulation layer 3 may be composed of silicon oxide while the second insulation layer 5 may be composed of silicon nitride. - In
FIG. 2 , the first and thesecond insulation layer 3 and 5 are selectively etched usingmask 100 to createpatterns 3′ and 5′, which collectively constituteetching mask 6. A dry etchingprocess using mask 6 forms recess 2 in thesemiconductor substrate 1. Therecess 2 may be etched to a depth of approximately 500 Å to 2000 Å. - In
FIG. 3 , agate insulation layer 7 and a gate conductor layer are deposited. Agate 9 and thegate insulation layer 7 are planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) method using the pattern of the second insulation layer 5′ as a stop layer. Therefore,gate 9, which fills recess 2, is approximately 500 Å to 2000 Å thick. Thegate 9 may include polysilicon and the gate insulation layer may include a nitride-based oxide, hafnium-based oxide, tantalum-based oxide, or titanium-based oxide. - In
FIG. 4 , the pattern of the insulation layer 5′ has been completely removed using, for example, a wet etching method using phosphoric acid solution. - With reference to
FIG. 5 , after depositing a layer for thespacer 11 over the side wall of thegate 7,spacer 11 is formed by using, for example, a front etching method. Thespacer 11 may also be formed by an isotropic etching method. And then LDD and high density source anddrain regions 13′ are formed by implanting ions. The ion implantation process is performed once at the LDD and source anddrain regions 13′ to form a profile of the LDD and source/drain regions 13′. The ion implant profile after annealing is shown. - In
FIG. 6 , agate insulation layer 7′ and asecond pattern 3″ of the first insulation layer are formed by wet etching. Thesecond pattern 3″ of the first insulation layer forms a recessed filler over thegate insulation layer 7′ between thespacer 11 and LDD region.Gate insulation 7′ is recessed from the top plane of the gate andspacers 11, to expose an upper side wall of thegate 9. - In
FIG. 7 , a salicide process is performed ongate 9, and source anddrain regions 13 to formsalicide layer 15. Thesalicide layer 15 is formed by heat treatment between 700 to 1000 ° C., after depositing one of, for example, cobalt, nickel, and Ti over the whole surface. - As described, embodiments relate to a method for fabricating a semiconductor transistor. A new scheme, facilitating a scaling down of the size of the transistors, is proposed. The gate resistance may be reduced without increasing the area used on the surface of the substrate. Lateral diffusion of the ion implant source may be more easily controlled to reduce the short channel effect. It is therefore possible to implement a shallow well ion implantation process at a smaller device scale, with smaller transistor features.
- It will be obvious and apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the embodiments disclosed. Thus, it is intended that the disclosed embodiments cover the obvious and apparent modifications and variations, provided that they are within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
