    摘要: A method of controlling the nucleation rate (i.e., incubation time) of dissimilar materials in an epitaxial growth chamber that can favor high growth rates and can be compatible with low temperature growth is provided. The nucleation rate of dissimilar materials is controlled in an epitaxial growth chamber by altering the nucleation rate for the growth of a given material film, relative to single crystal growth of the same material film, by choosing an appropriate masking material with a given native nucleation characteristic, or by modifying the surface of the masking layer to achieve the appropriate nucleation characteristic. Alternatively, nucleation rate control can be achieved by modifying the surface of selected areas of a semiconductor substrate relative to other areas in which an epitaxial semiconductor material will be subsequently formed.

    摘要: A method that allows for uniform, simultaneous epitaxial growth of a semiconductor material on dissimilarly doped semiconductor surfaces (n-type and p-type) that does not impart substrate thinning via a novel surface preparation scheme, as well as a structure that results from the implementation of this scheme into the process integration flow for integrated circuitry are provided. The method of the present invention can by used for the selective or nonselective epitaxial growth of semiconductor material from the dissimilar surfaces. More specifically, the invention comprises a method for counterdoping of n-FET and/or p-FET regions of silicon circuitry during the halo and/or extension implantation process utilizing a technique by which the surface characteristics of the two regions are made similar with respect to their response to wet or dry surface preparation and which renders the two previously dissimilar surfaces amenable to simultaneous epitaxial growth of raised source/drain structures; but not otherwise affecting the electrical performance of the resulting device.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a transistor having self-aligned borderless electrical contacts is disclosed. A gate stack is formed on a silicon region. An off-set spacer is formed surrounding the gate stack. A sacrificial layer that includes a carbon-based film is deposited overlying the silicon region, the gate stack, and the off-set spacer. A pattern is defined in the sacrificial layer to define a contact area for the electrical contact. The pattern exposes at least a portion of the gate stack and source/drain. A dielectric layer is deposited overlying the sacrificial layer that has been patterned and the portion of the gate stack that has been exposed. The sacrificial layer that has been patterned is selectively removed to define the contact area at the height that has been defined. The contact area for the height that has been defined is metalized to form the electrical contact.

    摘要: Generally, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to modern sophisticated semiconductor devices and methods for forming the same, wherein a multilayer metal fill may be used to fill narrow openings formed in an interlayer dielectric layer. One illustrative method disclosed herein includes forming an opening in a dielectric material layer of a semiconductor device formed above a semiconductor substrate, the opening having sidewalls and a bottom surface. The method also includes forming a first layer of first fill material above the semiconductor device by forming the first layer inside the opening and at least above the sidewalls and the bottom surface of the opening. Furthermore, the method includes performing a first angled etching process to at least partially remove the first layer of first fill material from above the semiconductor device by at least partially removing a first portion of the first layer proximate an inlet of the opening without removing a second portion of the first layer proximate the bottom of said opening, and forming a second layer of second fill material above the semiconductor device by forming the second layer inside the opening and above the first layer.
