PROCESS OF FORMING A POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON PATTERN

摘要

A process of forming a polycrystalline silicon pattern which is used for a semiconductor device, wherein the degree of side etching is low and the obtained pattern is of high precision. Firstly, a polycrystalline silicon layer is deposited on a semiconductor substrate or on an insulating film which is formed on a semiconductor substrate. An impurity is selectively ion-implanted with high concentration into the region in the layer which is to remain as a polycrystalline silicon pattern. Finally, whole of the polycrystalline silicon layer into which the impurity is thus selectively ion-implanted is plasma-etched to etch off the areas into which the impurity is not ion-implanted.
