ABSTRACT:
An SRAM wafer is conventionally fabricated through the definition of the gate poly. The PMOS oxide is then applied in a layer that uniformly covers the surface and sidewalls of the gate poly, then the interpoly contacts are patterned and etched and the NMOS S/D's are implanted. The PMOS load poly is deposited, again in a layer that uniformly covers the PMOS oxide over the surface and sidewalls of the gate poly. Oxide spacers are formed on the PMOS poly along the gate poly sidewalls, and a P+ implantation forms the PMOS sources and drains. The oxide spacers protect an L-shaped region along the poly gate sidewall from the P+ implant, thus defining PMOS load channels on either side of the gate poly that are gated by the gate poly sidewalls. The foot of the L on one side and the extension of the L above the gate poly on the other create gate/drain offsets that reduce I(off). Optionally, a gate poly/oxide stack may be used to enlarge one of the gate/drain offsets.
