Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an integrated circuit process method, in particular to a method for forming an L-shaped side wall. Background technique
[0002] With the continuous shrinking of the feature size of integrated circuits, the spacing between polysilicon gates is also becoming smaller and smaller, which puts forward higher requirements on the filling performance of the dielectric layer before the metal layer. In the technology generation before 0.13um, silicon dioxide containing boron and phosphorus was often used as the filling medium. However, the filling capacity of silicon dioxide containing boron and phosphorus is limited. In order to prolong its service life, the space between polysilicon gates must be increased to make the dielectric easier to fill. The L-shaped side wall is a new technology developed based on this requirement.
[0003] The L-shaped sidewall removes the uppermost layer of silicon oxide and silicon nitride through anisotro...
