Semiconductor processing method of forming a static random access memory cell and static random access memory cell

摘要

A semiconductor processing method of forming a static random access memory cell having an n-channel access transistor includes, providing a bulk semiconductor substrate; patterning the substrate for definition of field oxide regions and active area regions for the n- channel access transistor; subjecting the patterned substrate to oxidizing conditions to form a pair of field oxide regions and an intervening n-channel access transistor active area therebetween, the field oxide regions having respective bird's beak regions extending into the n-channel access transistor active area, the n-channel access transistor active area defining a central region away from the bird's beak regions; and conducting a p-type V.sub.T ion implant into the n- channel active area using the field oxide bird's beak regions as an implant mask to concentrate the V.sub.T implant in the central region of the active area. A semiconductor device includes, a substrate; an n-type transistor on the substrate; and field oxide surrounding the transistor, the transistor having an active area including a central region and a peripheral region with respect to the field oxide, the transistor having a p-type V.sub.T ion implant which is more concentrated in the central region than in the peripheral region.
