    摘要: A method for forming an extended metal gate without poly wrap around effects. A semiconductor structure is provided having a gate structure thereon. The gate structure comprising a gate dielectric layer, a gate silicon layer, a doped silicon oxide layer, and a disposable gate layer stacked sequentially. Spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the gate structure. A dielectric gapfill layer is formed over the semiconductor structure and the gate structure and planarized, stopping on the disposable gate layer. A first silicon nitride layer is formed over the disposable gate layer, and a dielectric layer is formed over the first silicon nitride layer. The dielectric layer is patterned to form a trench over the gate structure; wherein the trench has a width greater than the width of the gate structure. The first silicon nitride layer in the bottom of the trench and the disposable gate layer are removed using one or more selective etching processes. The doped silicon oxide layer is removed using an etch with a high selectivity of doped silicon oxide to undoped silicon oxide. A barrier layer is formed over the gate silicon layer, and a metal gate layer is formed on the barrier layer; whereby the metal gate layer has a greater width than the gate structure.

    摘要: A new method of depositing a copper layer, using disproportionation of Cu(I) ions from a solution stabilized by a polar organic solvent, for single and dual damascene interconnects in the manufacture of an integrated circuit device has been achieved. A dielectric layer, which may comprise a stack of dielectric material, is provided overlying a semiconductor substrate. The dielectric layer is patterned to form vias and trenches for planned dual damascene interconnects. A barrier layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer to line the vias and trenches. A simple Cu(I) ion solution, stabilized by a polar organic solvent, is coated overlying said barrier layer. Water is added to the stabilized simple Cu(I) ion solution to cause disproportionation of the simple Cu(I) ion from the Cu(I) ion solution. A copper layer is deposited overlying the barrier layer. The copper layer may comprise a thin seed layer for use in subsequent electroplating or electroless plating of copper or may comprise a thick copper layer to fill the vias and trenches. The integrated circuit is completed.

    摘要: A method and structure for forming a damascene structure with reduced capacitance by forming one or more of: the passivation layer, the etch stop layer, and the cap layer using a low dielectric constant material comprising carbon nitride, boron nitride, or boron carbon nitride. The method begins by providing a semiconductor structure having a first conductive layer thereover. A passivation layer is formed on the first conductive layer. A first dielectric layer is formed over the passivation layer, and an etch stop layer is formed over the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed over the etch stop layer, and an optional cap layer can be formed over the second dielectric layer. The cap layer, the second dielectric layer, the etch stop layer, and the first dielectric layer are patterned to form a via opening stopping on said passivation layer and a trench opening stopping on the first conductive layer. A carbon nitride passivation layer, etch stop layer, or cap layer can be formed by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen atmosphere. A boron nitride passivation layer, etch stop layer, or cap layer can be formed by PECVD using B.sub.2 H.sub.6, ammonia, and nitrogen. A boron carbon nitride passivatation layer, etch stop layer, or cap layer can be formed by magnetron sputtering from a graphite target in a nitrogen and B.sub.2 H.sub.6 atmosphere.

    摘要: Methods for forming dual-metal gate CMOS transistors are described. An NMOS and a PMOS active area of a semiconductor substrate are separated by isolation regions. A metal layer is deposited over a gate dielectric layer in each active area. Silicon ions are implanted into the metal layer in one active area to form an implanted metal layer which is silicided to form a metal silicide layer. Thereafter, the metal layer and the metal silicide layer are patterned to form a metal gate in one active area and a metal silicide gate in the other active area wherein the active area having the gate with the higher work function is the PMOS active area. Alternatively, both gates may be metal silicide gates wherein the silicon concentrations of the two gates differ. Alternatively, a dummy gate may be formed in each of the active areas and covered with a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is planarized thereby exposing the dummy gates. The dummy gates are removed leaving gate openings to the semiconductor substrate. A metal layer is deposited over a gate dielectric layer within the gate openings to form metal gates. One or both of the gates are silicon implanted and silicided. The PMOS gate has the higher work function.
