    摘要: A method of forming an electronic device includes etching a portion of a first gate dielectric layer to reduce a thickness of the gate dielectric layer within that portion. In one embodiment, portions not being etched may be covered by mask. In another embodiment, different portions may be etched during different times to give different thicknesses for the first gate dielectric layer. In a particular embodiment, a second gate dielectric layer may be formed over the first gate dielectric layer after etching the portion. The second gate dielectric layer can have a dielectric constant greater than the dielectric constant of the first gate dielectric layer. Subsequent gate electrode and source/drain region formation can be performed to form a transistor structure.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication process and the resulting integrated circuit include forming a gate electrode (116) over a gate dielectric (104) over a semiconductor substrate (102). A spacer film (124) exhibiting a tensile stress characteristic is deposited over the gate electrode (116). The stress characteristics of at least a portion of the spacer film is then modulated (132, 192) and the spacer film (124) is etched to form sidewall spacers (160, 162) on the gate electrode sidewalls. The spacer film (124) is an LPCVD silicon nitride in one embodiment. Modulating (132) the spacer film (124) includes implanting Xenon or Germanium into the spacers (160) at an implant energy sufficient to break at least some of the silicon nitride bonds. The modulation implant (132) may be performed selectively or non-selectively either before or after etching the spacer film (124).

    摘要: Insulating layers between transistors that are very close together may have voids. When contacts are formed in these areas between these close transistors, the contact hole is formed at the void location. These voids may extend between the contact locations that are close together so that the deposition of the conductive material into these contact holes may extend sufficiently into the void to short two such contacts. This is prevented by placing a liner in the contact hole, which constricts the void size in the contact hole, prior to depositing the conductive material. This restricts ingress of conductive material into the void. This prevents the void from being an unwanted conduction path between two contacts that are in close proximity. The bottoms of the contact holes are etched to remove the liner prior to depositing the conductive material.

A sidewall spacer is formed around the gate stack. Using the sidewall spacer as a mask, an implant is performed to form deep source/drain regions in the semiconductor layer.
