Silicided Silicon-Sidewall Source and Drain (S/sup 4/D) structures were proposed for sub-0.1 /spl mu/m gate length p-MOSFETs as the structure which can realize extremely small source and drain series resistance with small short-channel effects. By using this structure, 75 mm gate length p-MOSFETs were fabricated and very good electrical characteristics were confirmed. In this experiment, only p-MOSFETs were fabricated, but the S/sup 4/D structures are also suitable for the sub-0.1 /spl mu/m gate length CMOS devices, because, basically, the sidewall amorphous silicon is easily doped with the dopant of source and drain by source and drain implantation without prior in situ doping.

Plasma etching has been widely used in fabricating ultra large-scale integrated circuits (ULSI). One etching problem, however is that the etching rate decreases with decreasing pattern width; this is called microloading. Up to now, ion shadowing microloading was suppressed by using lower gas pressure. However, as the pressure decreases, another type of microloading is caused by reactant limiting or product adsorption. Recently, we found that the etching rate was related to reactant and product surface diffusion in the adsorption process. Our model incorporating this process has shown these types of microloading decrease as the pressure increases, in contrast to ion shadowing microloading. Therefore, there must be an optimum gas pressure that minimizes microloading. We can determine this pressure using our etching model which involves an ion shadowing term. This model is applied here to Cl/sub 2/-gas Si etching and Al etching.

A new hot wall type rapid thermal annealing (H-RTA) technology using a vertical batch furnace has been developed. This technology provides junctions with shallow and high concentration and slip free process with high throughput. We have demonstrated that H-RTA is a promising candidate for device fabrications beyond 256 Mbit DRAM in cost as well as in performance.

A ferroelectric capacitor over bit-line (F-COB) cell is proposed for high density nonvolatile ferroelectric memories (NVFRAMs). This memory cell with 0.7 /spl mu/m design rule was successfully fabricated using a newly-developed fabrication process, combining CMP and MOCVD techniques. Good ferroelectric properties of storage capacitor, having a remanent polarization of 15 /spl mu/C/cm/sup 2/ and leakage current density of 10/sup -6/ A/cm/sup 2/, have been realized without degradation in CMOS characteristics.

Because gate currents, I/sub G/, are a sensitive measure of the high energy tail of the hot carrier distribution, understanding their origins is essential to understanding hot carrier effects in MOSFETs. To this end, the gate current of nMOSFETs designed for 0.1 /spl mu/m operation-tenth micron technology-has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Monte Carlo transport simulations have identified a new I/sub G/ mechanism in these devices based on impact ionization feedback through the vertical fields of the drain substrate junction.

Critical dimension (CD) control for optical-, EB-, and X-ray lithography is analyzed. In the 0.1 to 0.2-/spl mu/m region, processing factors such as diffusion of chemical species in resist films and mask edge accuracy become dominant. These make it difficult to achieve this scale with sufficient CD control even with post-optical lithography methods.

This paper describes the high performance of sub-0.1-/spl mu/m T-shaped gate CMOS devices fabricated by using selective W growth. The W growth achieves low-resistance gates smaller than 0.1 /spl mu/m; counter doping achieves threshold voltage scaling, resulting in a ring-oscillator gate-delay time of 21 psec.

10 years from now, we envision producing gigachips for an ever expanding electronics market at a cost per function that continues to decrease by approximately 25%/year. To meet this challenge, we must continue to pursue advanced concepts in factories and equipment that are synergistic with continuous/synchronous manufacturing. In particular, such opportunities include: larger wafers, single-wafer processing, clustering/multiprocessing, real-time process/factory control, integrated minienvironments, and standards-based modular design. In most cases, the development and implementation of such change will require new levels of cooperation among suppliers, customers, and competitors in the semiconductor industry.

Yield and device monitoring during the production rather than at the end of the whole processes on final chips may also be more commonly practised for the earlier detection of failures. In-situ monitoring with single wafer processing may be used for finer process control. To reduce the ever increasing cost of clean rooms including the running cost, mini environment technologies will be applied more to production in clean rooms. Material handling automation will be essential for dealing with heavy load of larger wafers. To share the higher investment for equipment and facilities, international alliances among foreign companies will be accelerated, and production environment needs to be global. Technology trends toward the year 2000 are shown. The role of CIM systems in the semiconductor industry has become increasingly important for dealing with new technologies as well as with their difficulties. Their importance and expected roles are discussed.

A new channel engineering combined with optimization of channel epitaxy and suppression of TED (transient enhanced diffusion) is proposed for a practical 0.15 /spl mu/m n-n gate CMOS technology. An optimized channel profile with small Vth fluctuation provides an nMOS with no reverse short channel effect and a high performance BCpMOS.
