Self-aligned contacts with gate overlapped lightly doped drain (goldd) structure

摘要

In a method for producing a transistor with an overlapping gate region, a gate region is placed on a substrate between two source/drain regions. Spacers are placed around the gate region. The spacers are formed of dielectric material. A thin layer of polysilicon is deposited over the two source/drain regions and over electrically insulating regions adjacent to the two source/drain regions. Portions of the thin layer of polysilicon are oxidized to electrically isolate the two source/drain regions. A metal-silicide layer is formed on the portions of the thin layer of polysilicon which are not oxidized. The metal-silicide layer is connected to a metal layer. The electrical contact of the metal-silicide layer and the metal layer is over an electrically insulating layer.
