Semiconductor Device and Method of Fabricating the Same

In producing a thin film transistor, after an amorphous silicon film is formed on a substrate, a nickel silicide layer is formed by spin coating with a solution (nickel acetate solution) containing nickel as the metal element which accelerates (promotes) the crystallization of silicon and by heat treating. The nickel silicide layer is selectively patterned to form island-like nickel silicide layer. The amorphous silicon film is patterned. A laser light is irradiated while moving the laser, so that crystal growth occurs from the region in which the nickel silicide layer is formed and a region equivalent to a single crystal (a monodomain region) is obtained.

Method of fabricating a polycidegate employing nitrogen/oxygen implantation

Insulating films formed on side walls of a gate electrode are removed for a self-alignment to selectively implant impurities only into end portions of a source region and a drain region. Therefore, p + -type semiconductor regions are selectively formed only on sides near a channel region of the source and the drain regions. A punch through of the source or drain region is prevented by the p + -type semiconductor regions controlling an inversion threshold voltage. Therefore, the impurity concentration of the p-type substrate can be settled low, and the semiconductor transistor device can be miniaturized without increasing a parasitic junction capacitance. Moreover, since the impurity concentration in the channel region is ununiform, a drivability of the transistor can be increased. As a result, a semiconductor transistor device with a high withstand voltage and a high drivability in which the inversion threshold voltage can be easily controlled, and a method for producing the same are provided.

A semiconductor device having superior electrical characteristics is fabricated. 50 nm of the surface of a CZ (100) silicon substrate is oxidized to form an oxidized film. Afterwards a first ion implantation of boron ions is conducted to this silicon substrate amounting to 7×1013 cm-2 with acceleration energy of 1.5 MeV. Next, a first annealing in nitrogen ambient at 1050° C. for 40 minutes is conducted. Through this ion implantation process a damaged layer and a dopant layer are formed within the silicon substrate. Boron ions are implanted as a second ion implantation, with a dosage of 7×1013 cm-2, followed by a second implanted annealing in nitrogen ambient at 1050° C. for 40 minutes. Further, as a third ion implantation, boron ions are implanted with a dosage of 6×1013 cm-2 followed by a third annealing in nitrogen ambient at 1050° C. for 40 minutes. In the dopant layer thus formed, through a plurality of repeated high energy ion implantation and subsequent annealing, in order to obtain the desired dopant concentration, density of secondary defect occurrences may be lowered.
