Abstract

Embodiments relate to a method of forming a 90 nm semiconductor device, including forming an isolation film within a semiconductor substrate in which a pMOS region and an nMOS region are defined. A first mask is formed to shield the nMOS region by using a DUV photoresist having a thickness of approximately 0.7 to 0.75 μm. Ions are implanted into the pMOS region to form a p type well. A second mask is formed to shield the pMOS region by using a DUV photoresist having a thickness of approximately 0.7 to 0.75 μm. Ions are implanted into the nMOS region to form an n type well. A gate oxide film and a gate is formed over the semiconductor substrate. A low-concentration impurity may be implanted by using the gate as a mask. An LDD region may be formed. A sidewall spacer may be formed over both sidewalls of the gate. A high-concentration impurity is implanted by using the sidewall spacer as a mask, forming a source/drain region.

Claims (26)

1. A method comprising:

forming an isolation film within a semiconductor substrate in which a pMOS region and an nMOS region are defined;

forming a first mask to shield an NMOS region by using a deep ultraviolet photoresist having a thickness of approximately 0.7 to 0.75 μm, and implanting ions into the pMOS region to form a p type well;

forming a second mask to shield the pMOS region by using a deep ultraviolet photoresist having a thickness of approximately 0.7 to 0.75 μm, and implanting ions into the nMOS region to form an n type well.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the deep ultraviolet photoresist is set based on an implant state condition and secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the implant state condition includes at least one of a dopant, energy, dose and tilt/twist variation information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first mask is suitable as a barrier with respect to a dopant 11B+ at an energy of approximately 30 KeV or less.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first mask is used for a pMOS lightly doped drain.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein a top loss of the photoresist is approximately 250 nm or less.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first mask is suitable as a barrier with respect to a dopant 31P+ at an energy of approximately 30 KeV or less.
