    摘要: A method of implanting copper barrier material to improve electrical performance in an integrated circuit fabrication process can include providing a copper layer over an integrated circuit substrate, providing a barrier material at a bottom and sides of a via positioned over the copper layer to form a barrier material layer separating the via from the copper layer, implanting a metal species into the barrier material layer, and providing a conductive layer over the via such that the via electrically connects the conductive layer to the copper layer. The implanted metal species can make the barrier material layer more resistant to copper diffusion from the copper layer.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit can include forming a barrier material layer along lateral side walls and a bottom of a via aperture which is configured to receive a via material that electrically connects a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer, implanting a first alloy element into the barrier material layer, and implanting a second alloy element after deposition of the via material. The implanted first alloy element makes the barrier material layer more resistant to copper diffusion. The implanted second alloy element diffuses to a top interface of the via material and reduces bulk diffusion from the via material.

    摘要: A field effect transistor (FET) is formed on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate in the thin silicon layer above the insulating buried oxide layer. The channel region is lightly doped with a first impurity to increase free carrier conductivity of a first type. The source region and the drain region are heavily dopes with the first impurity. A gate and a back gate are positioned along the side of the channel region and extending from the source region and is implanted with a second semiconductor with an energy gap greater than silicon and is implanted with an impurity to increase free carrier flow of a second type.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a physical vapor deposited (PVD) layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. The metal is then formed on the PVD amorphous silicon layer. Additional dopants are implanted into the PVD amorphous silicon layer. An annealing process forms silicide in the gate, with a layer of silicon remaining unreacted. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the PVD amorphous silicon layer, while the additional doping of the PVD amorphous silicon layer lowers the resistivity of the gate electrode.
