    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a physical vapor deposited (PVD) layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. A barrier layer is deposited on the PVD amorphous silicon layer. The metal is then formed on the barrier layer. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the PVD amorphous silicon layer. The barrier layer prevents interaction between the PVD amorphous silicon layer and the metal, thereby allowing higher temperature subsequent processing while preserving the work function of the gate.

    摘要: MOS transistors and CMOS devices comprising a plurality of transistors including metal-based gate electrodes of different composition are formed by a process comprising: depositing a first blanket layer of a first metal on a thin gate insulator layer extending over first and second active device (e.g., a MOS transistor) precursor regions of a semiconductor substrate; selectively forming at least one masking layer segment on the first blanket layer overlying selective ones of the MOS transistor precursor regions; depositing a second blanket layer of a second metal or semi-metal, or silicon, over the thus-formed structure; effecting alloying or silicidation reaction between contacting portions of the first and second blanket layers overlying the other ones of the transistor precursor regions; exposing and selectively removing the masking layer segment; and simultaneously patterning the alloyed and unalloyed/unsilicided portions of the first blanket layer to form metal-based gate electrodes of different composition. The invention also includes MOS and CMOS devices comprising differently composed metal-based gate electrodes.

    摘要: A method for implementing a self-aligned metal silicide gate is achieved by confining amorphous silicon within a recess overlying a channel and annealing to cause the amorphous silicon with its overlying metal to interact to form the self-aligned metal silicide gate. A gate dielectric layer formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack is formed on the bottom and sidewalls of the recess prior to depositing the silicon. The silicon is removed except for the portion of the silicon in the recess. The remaining portions of the metal are removed by manipulating the etch selectivity between the metal and the self-aligned metal silicide gate.

    摘要: A method for implementing a self-aligned low temperature metal silicide gate is achieved by confining amorphous silicon within a recess overlying a channel and annealing to cause the amorphous silicon with its overlying low temperature silicidation metal to interact to form the self-aligned low temperature metal silicide gate. A precursor having a temporary gate is used to form the self-aligned low temperature silicide gate. The remaining portions of the low temperature silicidation metal is removed by manipulating the etch selectivity between the low temperature silicidation metal and the self-aligned low temperature metal silicide gate.

    摘要: High quality dielectric layers, e.g., high-k dielectric layers comprised of at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal oxide or silicate, for use as gate insulator layers in in-laid metal gate MOS transistors and CMOS devices, are fabricated by forming an ultra-thin catalytic metal layer, e.g., a monolayer thick layer of Pd or Pd, on a Si-based semiconductor substrate, electrolessly plating on the catalytic layer comprising at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal or metal-based dielectric precursor layer, such as of Zr and/or Hf, and then reacting the precursor layer with oxygen or with oxygen and the semiconductor substrate to form the at least one high-k metal oxide or silicate. The inventive methodology prevents, or at least substantially reduces, oxygen access to the substrate surface during at least the initial stage(s) of formation of the gate insulator layer, thereby minimizing deleterious formation of oxygen-induced surface states at the semiconductor substrate/gate insulator interface.

    摘要: A damascene gate semiconductor structure that is formed utilizing a silicide stop layer. Initially, a gate opening is provided in an insulating layer on a substrate. A first dielectric layer is deposited in the gate opening over the substrate. A silicide stop layer is then deposited in the gate opening over the first silicon layer. A second silicon layer is then deposited in the gate opening over the silicide stop layer. A metal or alloy layer is then deposited over the insulating and the second silicon layer. The damascene semiconductor structure is then temperature treated to react the metal or alloy layer with the second silicon layer to form a silicide layer. Any unreated metal or alloy is then removed from the metal or alloy layer.
