ABSTRACT:
Semiconductor wafer processes employing two and three masks are disclosed for fabricating a plurality of insulated gate field effect transistors (IGFETs) to be used singly as discrete devices or interconnected as integrated circuits on the wafer by means of diffused regions at a first level and a composite of polysilicon and metal silicide layers at a second level. The first mask of the two-mask process is used in opening windows through a thick oxide layer covering the wafer for the gate and diffused regions including the source and drain regions. After forming a thin oxide layer in these windows, the wafer is coated with successive layers of polysilicon and silicon nitride. Then, a second masking operation yields a pattern out of the polysilicon-nitride layer including gate electrodes and a top-lying interconnection level which abuts to openings etched through the thin oxide layer. Doping impurities are diffused therethrough to form source and drain regions and crossunders. After etching the nitride layer a silicide forming metal is deposited and sintered to form a silicide layer on all exposed silicon surfaces lowering the sheet resistance of the polysilicon layer and joining the interconnection pattern with the source and drain regions. The process is completed by removing the remaining unreacted metal using a maskless aqua regia etch.
