PROCESS FOR FORMING DIFFERENTIAL SPACES IN ELECTRONICS DEVICE INTEGRATED ON A SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE

摘要

A forms spacers in a electronic device integrated on a semiconductor substrate that includes: first and second transistors each comprising a gate electrode projecting from the substrate and respective source/drain regions. The process comprises: forming in cascade a first protective layer and a first conformal insulating layer of a first thickness on the whole electronic device; forming a first mask to cover the first transistor; removing the first conformal insulating layer not covered by the first mask; removing the first mask; forming a second conformal insulating layer of a second thickness on the whole device; and removing the insulating layers until the protective layer is exposed to form first spacers of a first width on the side walls of the gate electrodes of the first transistor and second spacers of a second width on the side walls of the gate electrodes of the second transistor.
