Method of manufacturing a transistor of a semiconductor device
View Patent ↗A method of manufacturing a transistor in which gate resistance is lowered and short channel effects are controlled by forming a trench-type gate. The threshold voltage can also be more tightly controlled.
1. A method of manufacturing a transistor comprising:
depositing a first insulating layer over a semiconductor substrate;
forming a trench by etching the first insulating layer and the semiconductor substrate;

planarizing the second insulating layer and first conductive layer to form a trench gate;
depositing a second conductive layer over the trench gate and the semiconductor substrate;
forming a mask pattern having a width wider than the trench gate over the second conductive layer;
patterning the second conductive layer, the first insulating layer and an upper portion of the semiconductor substrate using the mask pattern;
removing the mask pattern;
performing a second ion implantation using the second conductive layer as a mask to form a source/drain region; and
heat treating the semiconductor substrate to form a silicide layer over the second conductive layer and over an exposed surface portion of the semiconductor substrate.
