摘要:
A method for forming a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor is provided. First, a gate structure is formed over a substrate. Then, offset spacers are formed on respective sidewalls of the gate structure. A first ion implantation process is performed to form a lightly doped drain (LDD) in the substrate beside the gate structure. Other spacers are formed on respective sidewalls of the offset spacers. Thereafter, a second ion implantation process is performed to form source/drain region in the substrate beside the spacers. Then, a metal silicide layer is formed on the surface of the source and the drain. An oxide layer is formed on the surface of the metal silicide layer. The spacers are removed and an etching stop layer is formed on the substrate. With the oxide layer over the metal silicide layer, the solvent for removing the spacers is prevented from damaging the metal silicide layer.

Method for etching organic low-k dielectric using ammonia, NH3, as an active etchant. Processes using ammonia results in at least double the etch rate of organic low-k dielectric materials than processes using N2/H2 chemistries, at similar process conditions. The difference is due to the much lower ionization potential of NH3 versus N2 in the process chemistry, which results in significantly higher plasma densities and etchant concentrations at similar process conditions.

The workpiece includes a first portion, a second portion, and a hard mask disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The material layer is patterned, and first spacers are formed on sidewalls of the patterned material layer. The patterned material layer is removed, and the second portion of the workpiece is patterned using the first spacers as an etch mask. The first spacers are removed, and second spacers are formed on sidewalls of the patterned second portion of the workpiece. The patterned second portion of the workpiece is removed, and the hard mask of the workpiece is patterned using the second spacers as an etch mask. The first portion of the workpiece is patterned using the hard mask as an etch mask.

The present disclosure relates to a structure and method to create a self-repairing dielectric material for semiconductor device applications. A porous dielectric material is deposited on a substrate, and exposed with treating agent particles such that the treating agent particles diffuse into the dielectric material. A dense non-porous cap is formed above the dielectric material which encapsulates the treating agent particles within the dielectric material. The dielectric material is then subjected to a process which creates damage to the dielectric material. A chemical reaction is initiated between the treating agent particles and the damage, repairing the damage. A gradient concentration resulting from the consumption of treating agent particles by the chemical reaction promotes continuous diffusion the treating agent particles towards the damaged region of the dielectric material, continuously repairing the damage.
