Insulated gate field effect transistor and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

A method for forming a field effect transistor includes providing a semiconductor substrate having: a gate insulation layer; and, a gate metalization layer disposed on the gate insulation layer, such gate metalization comprising an oxidizable material. A mask is provided over the gate metalization layer, such mask having an aperture therein and masking a region of the gate metalization layer. The mask is subjected to a plasma etch to selectively remove portions of the gate metalization layer exposed by the aperture while leaving unetched the masked region of the gate metalization layer to form a gate for the transistor. An oxidation resistant layer is formed an over the formed gate. The semiconductor substrate is heated with the oxidation resistant layer. Using the gate as a mask, source and drain regions for the transistor are formed. The heating comprises heating to a temperature in the order of 1050 DEG C to anneal the substrate. A field effect transistor includes a silicon substrate; a gate silicon dioxide layer disposed on the substrate; a gate disposed on the gate insulation layer, such gate having an oxidizable material; and an oxidation resistant layer disposed on sidewalls of the oxidizable material of the gate. The oxidizable material comprises an electrically conductive material.
