Patent attributes
Embodiments of the invention provide a method of manufacturing a Schottky diode device. In one embodiment, the method includes: (a) providing a substrate; (b) sequentially forming a gate oxide layer and a polysilicon layer on the substrate; (c) partially oxidizing the polysilicon layer to form a poly oxide layer on the polysilicon layer; (d) forming and defining a photoresist layer on the poly oxide layer for exposing parts of the poly oxide layer; (e) etching the poly oxide layer, the polysilicon layer and the gate oxide layer via the photoresist layer for forming a poly oxide structure, a polysilicon structure and a gate oxide structure; and (f) removing the photoresist layer. The present invention introduces a poly oxide layer instead of the CVD oxide for preventing the photoresist lifting issue.
