Method for fabricating semiconductor devices with high-K materials without the presence of undesired formations of the high-K material. A preferred embodiment comprises forming a layer of material over a layer of a high-K material, etching the layer of material to expose a portion of the high-K material, performing a CDE (Chemical Downstream Etch) to remove any residual material formed during the etching, and etching the layer of the high-K material into alignment with remaining portions of the layer of material. The removal of the residual material results in a predictable trimming of the high-K material so that the semiconductor device has predictable and consistent performance, which is not possible if the high-K material has unpredictable dimensions.

A method of making a semiconductor device is disclosed. A device is fabricated on a semiconductor body. A gate electrode is disposed over the semiconductor body with a gate dielectric between the gate electrode and the semiconductor body, wherein the gate dielectric has a length greater than the gate electrode. A first source/drain region is disposed within the semiconductor body adjacent to the first edge of the gate with the gate dielectric at least partially overlapping the first source/drain region, and a second source/drain region is disposed within the semiconductor body adjacent to the first edge of the gate with the gate dielectric at least partially overlapping the second source/drain region.

The present invention provides a sidewall oxygen diffusion barrier and a method for fabricating the sidewall oxygen diffusion barrier that reduces the diffusion of oxygen into contact plugs during a CW hole reactive ion etch of a ferroelectric capacitor of an FeRAM device. In one embodiment the sidewall barrier is formed from a substrate fence. In another embodiment, the sidewall barrier is formed by etching back an oxygen barrier.
摘要:
A ferroelectric device includes a bottom electrode on which are formed ferrocapacitor elements and, over the ferroelectric elements, top electrodes. The bottom electrodes are connected to lower layers of the device via conductive plugs, and the plugs and bottom electrodes are spaced apart by barrier elements of Ir and/or IrO2. The barrier elements are narrower than the bottom electrode elements, and are formed by a separate etching process. This means that Ir fences are not formed during the etching of the bottom electrode. Also, little Ir and/or IrO2 diffuses through the bottom electrode to the ferroelectric elements, and therefore there is little risk of damage to the ferroelectric material.

A capacitor structure having a capacitor with a top electrode, a bottom electrode, and a capacitor dielectric layer between the top and bottom electrodes is disclosed. The capacitor includes upper and lower portions. The demarcation between the upper and lower portion is located between top and bottom surfaces of the capacitor dielectric layer. A dielectric layer is provided on the sidewalls of the upper portion of the capacitor to prevent shorting between the electrodes that can be caused by a conductive fence formed during processing.

摘要:
In a method of making a semiconductor device, a first gate stack is formed on a substrate at a pFET region, which includes a first gate electrode material. The source/drain regions of the substrate are etched at the pFET region and the first gate electrode material of the first gate stack is etched at the pFET region. The etching is at least partially selective against etching oxide and/or nitride materials so that the nFET region is shielded by a nitride layer (and/or a first oxide layer) and so that the spacer structure of the pFET region at least partially remains. Source/drain recesses are formed and at least part of the first gate electrode material is removed by the etching to form a gate electrode recess at the pFET region. A SiGe material is epitaxially grown in the source/drain recesses and in the gate electrode recess at the pFET region. The SMT effect is achieved from the same nitride nFETs mask.
