Trench free process for SRAM

摘要

A method of forming an FET device starts by forming a sacrificial layer over a semiconductor substrate and an outer buried contact region is produced by ion implantation into the substrate, followed by stripping the sacrificial layer, forming a gate oxide layer, and depositing polysilicon over the gate oxide layer. Then, etch an inner buried contact opening through the polysilicon and the gate oxide layer down to the substrate over the outer buried contact region forming an etched buried contact opening. Implant dopant into the substrate through the inner buried contact opening in the second mask to dope the substrate forming the inner buried contact region within the outer buried contact region self-aligned with the etched buried contact opening. Form a blanket, second polysilicon layer over the gate oxide layer reaching down through the etched buried contact opening into electrical and mechanical contact with the inner buried contact region. Etch to form the interconnect and the gate electrode from the polysilicon layers, and form source/drain regions.
