ABSTRACT:
A process of forming field oxide regions using a field oxidation performed in a dry oxidation environment in a temperature equal to or greater than approximately 1000.degree. C. The dry oxidation reduces or eliminates the formation of Kooi ribbons, and the high temperature field oxidation allows the field oxide to flow, thereby reducing physical stresses normally associated with field oxidation performed at temperatures below 1000.degree. C. The high temperature field oxidation also greatly reduces the ratio of the length of the bird's beaks formed during the field oxidation to the thickness of the field oxide, allowing smaller active regions to be formed. The thinner field oxide regions, in turn, make it possible to perform the field implant after the field oxidation, thereby avoiding the lateral encroachment problem and controlling source to drain or drain to source punch-through under the gate. Further, the high temperature field oxidation allows the well implant drive and the field oxidation to be performed simultaneously.
