Six. polysilicon oxidation;
Seven. lightly doped drain (LDD) injects and rapid thermal annealing;
Eight. silicon nitride or monox lateral wall CVD deposit;
Nine. source and drain is injected and rapid thermal annealing;
Ten. prepared by self-aligned metal silicate;
11. back segment metal connecting line.
For this reason, need to judge whether that boron (B) spreads to metal or metal silicide, judge that boron (B) has much impacts to metal or metal silicide generation diffusion couple device, judges boron whether (B) can accept to the impact of metal or metal silicide generation diffusion couple device, judges diffusion in full wafer silicon chip face whether.But the SIMS (Secondary Ion MassSpectrometry, secondary ion mass spectrum) that current industry adopts usually and the method comparing NMOS/PMOS relative capacity all can not meet above requirement simultaneously.
