Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method includes steps of forming a recess in the substrate; depositing an insulating layer on the substrate; forming a gate electrode on the insulating layer and partly buried in the recess; removing a portion of the insulating layer exposed through the gate electrode to form a gate dielectric; and implanting dopants in the substrate to form a source region and a drain region on either side of the gate electrode.
Claims4
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:
- forming a recess in a substrate;
- depositing an insulating layer on the substrate;
- forming a gate electrode on the insulating layer and partly buried in the recess;
- removing a portion of the insulating layer exposed through the gate electrode to form a gate dielectric;
- implanting dopants in the substrate to form a source region and a drain region on either side of the gate electrode;
- and
- forming at least one isolating structure in the substrate to define an active area, wherein the source region and the drain region are in the active area, and the gate electrode extends from the active area to the isolating structure;
- wherein the forming of the gate electrode on the insulating layer and partly buried in the recess comprises:
- depositing a first conductive material on the insulating layer;
- patterning the first conductive material to form a first gate segment partly filling the recess extending from the active area to the isolating structure;
- depositing a second conductive material on a portion of the insulating layer exposed through the first gate segment and on the first gate segment;
- and
- patterning the second conductive material to form a second gate segment attached to a planar lateral side of the first gate segment and partly buried in the recess,
- wherein the first gate segment and the second gate segment have different work functions.
