Method Of Forming A Transistor Gate Of A Recessed Access Device, Method Of Forming A Recessed Transistor Gate And A Non-Recessed Transistor Gate, And Method Of Fabricating An Integrated Circuit

摘要

Methods and structures are provided for full silicidation of recessed silicon. Silicon is provided within a trench. A mixture of metals is provided over the silicon in which one of the metals diffuses more readily in silicon than silicon does in the metal, and another of the metals diffuses less readily in silicon than silicon does in the metal. An exemplary mixture includes 80% nickel and 20% cobalt. The silicon within the trench is allowed to fully silicide without void formation, despite a relatively high aspect ratio for the trench. Among other devices, recessed access devices (RADs) can be formed by the method for memory arrays.
