Claims
- 1. A method for forming a polysilicon resistor on a field oxide region, comprising the steps of:
- depositing a layer of polysilicon over said field oxide region;
- patterning and etching said polysilicon layer to form a polysilicon structure over a portion of said field oxide region;
- forming an oxide layer over said polysilicon structure and said field oxide region;
- forming a nitride layer over said oxide layer;
- etching said nitride layer to remove said nitride layer except on the portion of the oxide layer on the sidewalls of said polysilicon structure;
- forming a pattern on said oxide layer to define the body of the polysilicon resistor;
- etching said oxide layer to remove said oxide layer except under said pattern exposing a portion of said polysilicon structure;
- removing said pattern; and
- forming a silicide layer on said exposed portion of the polysilicon structure.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of implanting a dopant into said polysilicon layer to adjust the sheet resistance of the polysilicon resistor prior to the step of patterning and etching the polysilicon layer.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said step of implanting the polysilicon layer comprises implanting arsenic at a dose of about 6.0E15 ion/cm.sup.2 and an energy of about 150 KeV.
- 4. The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of annealing the polysilicon layer to diffuse and activate the dopant throughout the polysilicon layer.
- 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of implanting a source/drain dopant through said oxide layer into said polysilicon structure after said step of forming a pattern and prior to said step of etching said oxide layer.
- 6. A method for forming a polysilicon resistor on a field oxide region, comprising the steps of:
- depositing a layer of polysilicon over said field oxide region;
- patterning and etching said polysilicon layer to form a polysilicon structure over a portion of said field oxide region;
- forming an oxide layer over said polysilicon structure;
- forming a nitride layer over said oxide layer;
- forming a pattern on said nitride layer to define the body of the polysilicon resistor;
- etching said nitride layer to remove said nitride layer except under said pattern and on the portion of the oxide layer on the sidewalls of said polysilicon structure;
- removing said pattern;
- etching said oxide layer to remove said oxide layer except on the sidewalls of said polysilicon layer and under said etched nitride layer exposing a portion of said polysilicon structure; and
- forming a silicide layer on said exposed portion of the polysilicon structure.
