The Process flow for fabrication the resister IC
Step I: The Beginning-Choosing a substrate
Before actual wafer fabrication, we must choose the starting wafers. The major choices are the type (N or P), resistivity, and orientation.
In most IC circuits, the substrate has a resistivity in the range of 25-50cm, which corresponds to a doping level on the order of 1015cm-3.
The other major parameter we need to specify in the starting substrate is
the crystal orientation. Virtually all modern silicon integrated circuits are manufactured today from wafer with a (100) surface orientation. The principal reason for this is that the properties of Si/Sio2 interface are significantly better when a (100) crystal is used.

Photolithography
• In order to transfer resister information from the design to the wafer, a process known as photolithography is used.
• For this process a material known as photoresist is first spread on the wafer. It is usually baked at about 100oC in order to drive off
• solvants from the layer (photolithographic process will be covered in chapter 5 through.

NMOS gate formation and adjusting VTH
The single most important parameter in the both NMOS and PMOS devices is the threshold voltage
To adjust VTH , two terms that are important are the doping concentration and the oxide capacitance.
