7 E-eam Lithography s the miniaturization of IC devices continues, electron beam exposure technology is gaining prominence as a technology for nextgeneration design rules From: DVNTEST CORPORTION
8 Silicon Oxidation The oxide is grown by exposing the silicon surface to high temperature steam. s the oxide grows, the silicon is consumed. The arrows represent the direction of motion of each surface of the oxide. Underneath the nitride mask, the growth is suppressed, and these areas will become the active transistor area.

13 Ion Implantation 1. Dopant atoms are ionized and then accelerated by an electric field until they impinge on the silicon surface, where they embed themselves. 2. polysilicon line crosses the active area in the upper left and forms the gate of a transistor. Source: ell Laboratories
14 Deposition and Etching 1. Pattern masking (photolithography) 2. Deposit material over entire wafer CVD (Si 3 N 4 ) chemical deposition (polysilicon) sputtering (l) 3. Etch away unwanted material wet etching dry (plasma) etching
15 Metallization 1. First an insulating glass layer is deposited to cover the silicon, then contact holes are cut into the glass layer down to the silicon. 2. Metal is deposited on top of the glass, connecting to the devices through the contact holes. 3. The graphic shows a snapshot during the filling of a contact hole with aluminum.

27 VLSI Fabrication: The Cycle
28 CMOS N-well Process (cont d) The n-well CMOS process starts with a moderately doped (impurity concentration less than cm -3 ) p-type silicon substrate. Then, an oxide layer is grown on the entire surface. The first lithographic mask defines the n-well region. Donor atoms, usually phosphorus, are implanted through this window in the oxide. This defines, the active areas of the nmos and pmos transistors. Thin gate oxide is grown on top of the active regions. The thickness and the quality of the gate oxide are critical fabrication parameters, since they affect the characteristics of the MOS transistor, and its reliability.
29 CMOS N-well Process (cont d) The polysilicon layer is deposited using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and patterned by dry (plasma) etching. The created polysilicon lines will function as the gate electrodes of the nmos and the pmos transistors and their interconnects. lso, the polysilicon gates act as self-aligned masks for the source and drain implantations that follow this step.
30 CMOS N-well Process (cont d) Using a set of two masks, the n+ and p+ regions are implanted into the substrate and into the n- well, respectively. The ohmic contacts to the substrate and to the n-well are implanted in this process step.
31 CMOS N-well Process (cont d) n insulating silicon dioxide layer is deposited over the entire wafer using CVD. Then, the contacts are defined and etched away to expose the silicon or polysilicon contact windows.
32 CMOS N-well Process (cont d) Metal is deposited over the entire chip surface using metal evaporation, and the metal lines are patterned through etching. Since the wafer surface is nonplanar, the quality and the integrity of the metal lines created in this step are very critical and are essential for circuit reliability.
33 CMOS N-well Process (cont d) The composite layout and the resulting cross-sectional view of the chip, showing one nmos and one pmos transistor (builtin n-well), the polysilicon and metal interconnections. The final step is to deposit the passivation layer (overglass - for protection) over the chip, except for wire-bonding pad areas.

40 3D Perspective Polysilicon luminum
41 Why Have Design Rules? To be able to tolerate some level of fabrication errors such as 1. Mask misalignment 2. Dust 3. Process parameters (e.g., lateral diffusion) 4. Rough surfaces
42 Intra-Layer Design Rule Origins Minimum dimensions (e.g., widths) of objects on each layer to maintain that object after fab» minimum line width is set by the resolution of the patterning process (photolithography) Minimum spaces between objects (that are not related) on the same layer to ensure they will not short after fab 0.3 micron micron
43 Inter-Layer Design Rule Origins 1. Transistor rules transistor formed by overlap of active and poly layers Transistors Catastrophic error Unrelated Poly & Diffusion Thinner diffusion, but still working
