In this work a deep-UV stepper is used in conjunction with a phase edge mask to define sub 0.1 /spl mu/m electrical channel length gates in a 200 mm integrated CMOS process. Conventional binary intensity mask deep-UV and mid-UV lithography are other used for other levels. We demonstrate excellent channel length control with the phase edge technique, at channel lengths here-to-fore only achievable by e-beam or X-ray lithography.

Low noise high-frequency analog operation of small geometry silicon MOSFETs is demonstrated. By scaling gate length down to 0.3-sub 0.1 /spl mu/m regions, excellent low noise figure of 1.5 dB at 2 GHz was obtained with low drain current of 0.3 mA//spl mu/m at f/sub T/ value of 20-65 GHz-the same level as today's high performance silicon bipolar transistors in research level. Even at low voltage operation such as 0.5 V, extremely high cutoff frequency of 48 GHz was realized by sub 0.1 /spl mu/m gate length nMOSFETs. Such low voltage operations allow one order of magnitude smaller power consumption compared with 2 V power supply voltage.

For the replacement of conventional hard disks by NAND EEPROMs, a very high density and a high programming speed are required. An increased density can be achieved by using multi-level memory cells. With the new method, using staircase programming pulses combined with a bit-by-bit verify, a very narrow threshold voltage distribution of 0.7 V, necessary for 4-level or 2-bit operation, and a high programming speed of 300 /spl mu/s/page or 590 ns/byte can be obtained.

A dynamic gain memory cell has been fabricated which, despite its planar design, can compete with the area requirements of one transistor DRAM cells (1T-cells) built in trench or 3D stacked technology. The described gain cell can be geometrically shrunk because the drain current of scaled down MOS transistors increases resulting in higher signal charge. Another attractive feature of the proposed gain memory cell is that it can be fabricated using a CMOS logic process to bridge the gap between DRAM and CMOS logic technology. Because of its inherent amplification, the gain cell delivers even at supply voltages below 2 V sufficient signal charge making it suitable for low voltage applications.

This paper reports the investigation of low pressure chemical vapor deposition of SiN/sub X/ film for bottom antireflective coating (BARC) application in 0.35 /spl mu/m lithography and below. The SiN/sub X/ material was successfully designed to provide excellent anti-reflective layer which meets various advanced device integration requirements. This BARC process has been found to be manufacturable for deep-UV and I-line lithography.

BST (BaSrTiO/sub 3/) thin films are being widely studied as alternative dielectrics for ULSI DRAM storage capacitors. An important issue involved in the use of these films is related to the process integration with silicon technology. For example the high temperatures at which the films are typically deposited and/or annealed is one of the major concerns. In this paper we demonstrate, for the first time, a new technology whereby high quality BaSrTiO/sub 3/ films are obtained at a temperature as low as 460/spl deg/C without any post deposition anneals. Excellent resistance to electrical stress and post-deposition processing steps are also demonstrated.

The photoresist selectivity is known to increase by changing from chlorine- to bromine-based etchants. Therefore, skipping to iodine-based etchants should result in further enhancement of photoresist selectivity. This is corroborated by a very high photoresist selectivity of the iodine-based etchant HI. Since HI is also the only iodine containing compound with a sufficient vapor pressure for plasma etching, HI should be the etchant of choice for a new aluminum etch process.

The floating-body effects, which are regarded as the most critical issues in applying Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) devices to actual LSIs, can be suppressed by the reduction in bandgap energy in the source region. In addition to an increase in the drain breakdown voltage, the suppression of both kinks in I/sub d/-V/sub d/ characteristics and threshold voltage shift with an increase in drain voltage are achieved in sub-quarter micron Nch thin-film SOI MOSFETs.
