Method to control the gate sidewall profile by graded material composition
Abstract:
A semiconductor process and apparatus uses a predetermined sequence of patterning and etching steps to etch a gate stack (30, 32) formed over a substrate (36), thereby forming an etched gate (33) having a vertical sidewall profile (35). By constructing the gate stack (30, 32) with a graded material composition of silicon-based layers, the composition of which is selected to counteract the etching tendencies of the predetermined sequence of patterning and etching steps, a more idealized vertical gate sidewall profile (35) may be obtained.
