    摘要: Photoresist removal from a semiconductor chip is enhanced via a method and system that remove photoresist without causing photoresist popping and without causing undesirable etching of other structures on the chip. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist mask layer formed on the substrate of a semiconductor wafer is used as a mask for etching a portion f the substrate. The semiconductor wafer is then ashed and an upper portion of the photoresist layer is removed that would otherwise pop and leave residue on the wafer. The remaining photoresist can then be removed in a conventional high-temperature asher.

    摘要: A method is presented for forming a transistor gate structure (41, 42). A gate oxide layer (41) is formed. Gate material (42) is deposited on the gate oxide layer (41). A layer of silicon oxynitride (43) is deposited on the gate material (42). The layer of silicon oxynitride (43), the gate material (42) and the gate oxide layer (41) are etched to form a gate structure (41, 42). A silicon oxynitride region (43) remains on top of the gate structure (41, 42). A wet chemical process is performed to remove the silicon oxynitride region (43) from the top of the gate structure (41, 42). After performing the wet chemical process, spacers (61, 62) are formed around the gate structure (41, 42).

    摘要: A method is presented in which nitrogen-based gas is incorporated in polysilicon gate re-oxidation to improve hot carrier performance. A gate oxide layer (21) is formed. Gate material (31) is deposited on the gate oxide layer (21). The gate material (31) is etched to form a gate structure (42). The gate oxide layer (21) and the gate are re-oxidized. During re-oxidation, nitrogen-based gas is introduced to nitridize re-oxidized portions (53) of the gate oxide layer (21).
