    摘要: A polishing slurry composition and its method of making for planarization of silicon semiconductor wafers by chemical mechanical polishing of the wafer. A slurry formulation utilizing a ferric salt tungsten oxidizer, an ammonium persulfate titanium oxidizer, a fatty acid suspension agent, alumina particles with a small diameter and tight diameter range, coated with a solubility coating, and a chemical stabilizer, provides high tungsten and titanium polish rates with high selectivity to silicon dioxide, and good oxide defectivity for use in tungsten local interconnect applications. A method for making a tungsten slurry includes first thoroughly blending small diameter alumina particles with a tight diameter range in an aqueous concentrate with a suspension agent, then mixing with water and oxidizers. Ferric salt tungsten slurries made by this method provide excellent tungsten polish characteristics for via plug and local interconnect applications.

    摘要: Bridging between nickel silicide layers (30) on a gate electrode (21) and source/drain regions (26) along silicon nitride-sidewall spacers (24) is prevented by forming a relatively thick silicon oxide liner (23) on the side surfaces of the gate electrode (21) and adjacent surface of the semiconductor substrate (20) before forming the silicon nitride sidewall spacers (24) thereon. Embodiments include forming a silicon dioxide liner (23) at a thickness of about 200 Å to about 600 Å prior to forming the silicon nitride sidewall spacers (24) thereon.
