OXIDE/NITRIDE STACKED IN FINFET SPACER PROCESS

In a FinFET integrated circuit, the fins are formed with a body thickness in the body area and then thickened in the source/drain area outside the body to improve conductivity. The thickening is performed with epitaxial deposition while the gates are covered by a composite gate cover layer to preven...

Zusammenfassung:In a FinFET integrated circuit, the fins are formed with a body thickness in the body area and then thickened in the source/drain area outside the body to improve conductivity. The thickening is performed with epitaxial deposition while the gates are covered by a composite gate cover layer to prevent thickening of the gates, which may short the gate to the source/drain.
