Method for fabricating stacked CMOS transistors with a self-aligned silicide process

摘要

A method for siliciding interconnects on a vertically integrated device utilizing stacked CMOS technology includes a step for blocking off the p-channel devices. This blocking step is utilized to block the p-channel device in a stacked CMOS pair prior to forming titanium di-silicide on the exposed polysilicon interconnects. A mask is formed on the top polysilicon layer that forms the p-channel device and then patterned to remove the mask and the top polysilicon layer to expose the underlying polysilicon layers. A sidewall oxide is then formed to completely seal the p-channel devices and then the exposed silicon and polysilicon surfaces subjected to a self-aligned silicide process.
