    摘要: The present invention relates to a gate stack structure having a dielectric material layer disposed on a substrate with a gate electrode disposed thereon. In an exemplary embodiment, the dielectric material layer has an equivalent electrical thickness of 2.2 nm or less and includes at least one layer other than silicon dioxide. Furthermore, the dielectric material layer of the present invention enables device scaling and provides (1) decreased leakage current and improved tunneling voltage compared to a conventional gate dielectric; and (2) avoids the perils of ultra-thin silicon dioxide when used exclusively as the gate dielectric.

    摘要: A barrier layer for a semiconductor device metallization component provides a silicon nitride film formed in a component recess and a refractory metal film formed over the silicon nitride film. The device component includes a dielectric material and a recess formed in the dielectric. The surface of the dielectric material within the recess is exposed to nitrogen under controlled parameters. A section of the dielectric material adjacent an interior of the recess is converted to silicon nitride. The refractory metal is then conformed deposited along the recess sidewalls. A seed layer is then deposited over the refractory metal film, and a conductive metal is then deposited within the recess. The device is then polished to remove excess metal outside the recess and planarize the device.

    摘要: An unwanted tungsten film deposit on a Chemical Vapor Deposition chamber is cleaned by adding a mixture of at least two cleaning gases into the chamber at a predetermined temperature and pressure and in contact with said chamber walls for a sufficient length of time. The cleaning gases and reacted tungsten species are removed from the chamber by vacuum, and unreacted cleaning gases are removed by purging the chamber with an inert gas. At least one cleaning gas is selected from the group consisting of bromomethane, dibromomethane, bromoform and mixtures thereof. The temperature of the chamber is preferably at least about 300 degrees Celsius. The cleaning gases in the chamber are at a pressure in the range from about 100 to 200 Torr and the chamber is purged at a pressure in the range from about 200 to 500 Torr.

    摘要: A titanium-tantalum barrier layer film for use in conjunction with an interconnect film such as copper and a method for forming the same provides a relatively titanium rich/tantalum deficient portion adjacent the interface it forms with a dielectric film and a relatively tantalum rich/titanium deficient portion adjacent the interface it forms with a conductive interconnect film formed over the barrier layer film. The titanium rich/tantalum deficient portion provides good adhesion to the dielectric film and the tantalum rich/titanium deficient portion forms a hetero-epitaxial interface with the interconnect film and suppresses the formation of inter-metallic compounds. A single titanium-tantalum film having a composition gradient from top-to-bottom may be formed using various techniques including PVD, CVD, sputter deposition using a sputtering target of homogeneous composition, and sputter deposition using multiple sputtering targets. A composite titanium-tantalum film consists of two separately formed films.

    摘要: An integrated circuit capacitor includes a metal plug in a dielectric layer adjacent a substrate. The metal plug has at least one topographical defect in an uppermost surface portion thereof. A lower metal electrode overlies the dielectric layer and the metal plug. The lower metal electrode includes, in stacked relation, a metal layer, a lower metal nitride layer, an aluminum layer, and an upper metal nitride layer. A capacitor dielectric layer overlies the lower metal electrode, and an upper metal electrode overlies the capacitor dielectric layer. An advantage of this structure is that the stack of metal layers of the lower metal electrode, will prevent undesired defects at the surface of the metal plug from adversely effecting device reliability or manufacturing yield.
