Abstract

See full text

An MOS device having a planar configuration in which the top surfaces of the source, drain and gate electrodes are coplanar, and the overlying electrical contact structure is also planar, is produced by a method of fabrication in which the gate is defined by forming an oxide mesa on a substrate, building up the substrate with semiconductor material around the mesa, removing the mesa, and filling the resultant trough with doped polysilicon to form the self-aligned gate. Line width and alignment control are enchanced. The planarity of the device and the improved dimensional control enable a reduction of device dimensions and consequently increased device density in integrated circuits.
