摘要: A method of decreasing height differences of STIs includes providing a substrate comprising a peripheral circuit region. The peripheral circuit region includes a P-type transistor region and an N-type transistor region. A first STI and a third STI are respectively disposed within the N-type transistor region and the P-type transistor region. Later, a first mask is formed to cover the N-type transistor region. Then, an N-type well is formed in the P-type transistor region and part of the third STI is removed by taking the first mask as a mask. Next, the first mask is removed. After that, a second mask is formed to cover the P-type transistor region. Subsequently, a P-type well is formed in the N-type transistor region and part of the first STI is removed by taking the second mask as a mask. Finally, the second mask is removed.

摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. A semiconductor substrate having thereon an NMOS region, a PMOS region, and a non-silicide region is provided. An NMOS transistor is formed within the NMOS region and a PMOS transistor is formed within the PMOS region. A stress memorization technique (SMT) layer covering the NMOS region, the PMOS region, and the non-silicide region is formed. The SMT layer is removed from the PMOS region. A stress is transferred from the SMT layer into an N-channel of the NMOS transistor. The SMT layer is removed from the NMOS region, while leaving the SMT layer in the non-silicide region intact. A self-aligned silicidation (SAC) process is performed to form a salicide layer in the NMOS region and the PMOS region.

摘要: A method of electro-chemical plating is disclosed. The catholyte is delivered to the cathode chamber. The catholyte is controlled at a first temperature before flowing into the cathode chamber. The anolyte is provided at room temperature. The temperature of the anolyte is lowered from the room temperature to a second temperature before delivering into the anode chamber. The second temperature is equal to or lower than the first temperature. The plating surface of the substrate is immersed in the electrolyte. The substrate is biased to a direct current (DC) voltage. The biased substrate attracts ions of the metal in the electrolyte toward the plating surface so as to electroplating the metal onto the substrate.
