Forming gas anneal process for high dielectric constant gate dielectrics in a semiconductor fabrication process
摘要:
A semiconductor fabrication annealing process includes depositing a high dielectric constant gate dielectric over a substrate and annealing the gate dielectric. Annealing the gate dielectric includes exposing the gate dielectric to an inert ambient and ramping the inert ambient to an annealing temperature. A passivating gas is then introduced into the ambient while maintaining the ambient at the annealing temperature. This passivating ambient is then maintained at the annealing temperature for a specified duration. While maintaining the presence of the passivating gas in the ambient, the ambient temperature is then ramped down from the annealing temperature to a second temperature, which is preferably less than 100° C. The passivating gas is preferably hydrogen gas, deuterium gas, or a combination of the two. The annealing temperature is preferably greater than approximately 470° C.
