    摘要: A method of forming a field effect transistor structure for making semiconductor integrated circuits is disclosed. The method utilizes a novel processing sequence where the high temperature processing steps are carried out prior to the formation of the gate dielectric and gate electrode. The process sequence proceeds as follows: A mask patterned in replication of a to-be-formed gate is deposited onto a substrate. Then, a high temperature step of forming doped regions is performed. Then, a high temperature step of forming a silicide is performed. Next, a planarization material is deposited over the mask and is planarized. The mask is removed selectively to the planarization material to form an opening within the planarization material. The gate dielectric and gate electrode are formed within the opening.

    摘要: A reduced capacitance interconnect system. A first metal layer is formed to a predetermined level above a first dielectric layer which is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The first metal layer level forms multiple interconnect lines wherein each interconnect line is separated from each adjacent interconnect line by a trench including a trench having a highest aspect ratio. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first metal layer and in the trenches between the interconnect lines such that an enclosed void having a void tip substantially level with the top of the metal layer is formed in at least each trench having an aspect ratio above a predetermined minimum aspect ratio, wherein the enclosed void in the trench having the highest aspect ratio has a void volume which is at least 15% of the volume of the trench.

A first patterned dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate and has a first opening filled with conductive material. Another patterned dielectric layer is formed over the first dielectric layer and has a second opening over at least a portion of the conductive material. The first patterned dielectric layer may serve as an etch-stop in patterning the other patterned dielectric layer. Also, a dielectric etch-stop layer may be formed over the first patterned dielectric layer and over the conductive material before the other patterned dielectric layer has been formed. This dielectric etch-stop layer may serve as an etch-stop in patterning the other patterned dielectric layer. The second opening exposes a portion of the dielectric etch-stop layer. The exposed portion of the dielectric etch-stop layer is removed. The second opening is filled with conductive material.

    摘要: A device and methods of forming an interconnection within a prepatterned channel in a semiconductor device are described. The present invention includes a method of forming an interconnect channel within a semiconductor device. A first dielectric layer is deposited over a substrate and patterned to form a contact opening that is subsequently filled with a contact plug. A second dielectric layer is deposited over the patterned first dielectric layer and the contact plug. The second dielectric layer is patterned to form the interconnect channel, wherein the first dielectric layer acts as an etch stop to prevent etching of the substrate. The present invention also includes a method of forming an interconnect. A dielectric layer is deposited over a substrate and patterned to form an interconnect chapel. A metal layer is deposited over the patterned dielectric layer and within the interconnect channel. The metal layer is polished with an alkaline solution to remove the metal layer that does not lie within the interconnect chapel to form an interconnect. The present invention further includes a method of forming an interconnect over a silicon nitride layer. The silicon nitride layer is deposited over a semiconductor substrate and patterned to form a contact opening that is subsequently filled with a conductive material. A metal layer is deposited on the patterned silicon nitride layer and the contact plug and patterned to form the interconnect such that all of the interconnect lies on the contact plug and part of the patterned silicon nitride layer.
