PRODUCTION OF SPACERS AT THE EDGES OF A TRANSISTOR GATE

摘要

The production of spacers at flanks of a transistor gate, including a step of forming a dielectric layer covering the gate and a peripheral region of a layer of semiconductor material surrounding the gate, including forming a superficial layer covering the gate and the peripheral region; partially removing the superficial layer configured so as to completely remove the superficial layer at the peripheral region while preserving a residual part of the superficial layer at the flanks; and selective etching of the dielectric layer vis-à-vis the material of the residual part of the superficial layer and vis-à-vis the semiconductor material.
