    摘要: A metal gate structure and method of making the same provides a tracer layer over a first metal or metal compound layer. When etching a metal gate, formed of tungsten, for example, with a first etchant chemistry optimized for etching tungsten, detection of the tracer layer through optical emission spectroscopy, for example, indicates the imminent clearing of the tungsten. A second etchant chemistry is then employed that is selective to the first metal or metal compound layer, such as TiN, overlying the gate dielectric. This provides a controlled etching of the TiN and thereby prevents degradation of the underlying gate dielectric material.

    摘要: Various methods of fabricating substrate trenches and isolation structures therein are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a trench in a substrate is provided. An oxide/nitride stack is formed on the substrate. An opening with opposing sidewalls is plasma etched in the silicon nitride film until a first portion of the oxide film is exposed while second and third portions of the oxide film positioned on opposite sides of the first portion remain covered by first and second portions of the silicon nitride film that project inwardly from the opposing sidewalls. The oxide film is etched for a selected time period in order to expose a portion of the substrate and to define first and second oxide/nitride ledges that project inwardly from the opposing sidewalls. The substrate is etched to form the trench with the first and second oxide/nitride ledges protecting underlying portions of the substrate.

    摘要: A metal gate structure and method of forming the same employs an etch stop layer between a first metal layer, made of TiN, for example, and the metal gate formed of tungsten. The etch stop layer prevents overetching of the TiN during the etching of the tungsten in the formation of the metal gate. The prevention of the overetching of the TiN protects the gate oxide from undesirable degradation. The provision of aluminum or tantalum in the etch stop layer allows a thin etch stop layer to be used that provides adequate etch stopping capability and does not undesirably affect the work function of the TiN.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory device includes a substrate, an insulating layer, a fin, an oxide layer, spacers and one or more control gates. The insulating layer is formed on the substrate and the fin is formed on the insulating layer. The oxide layer is formed on the fin and acts as a tunnel oxide for the memory device. The spacers are formed adjacent the side surfaces of the fin and the control gates are formed adjacent the spacers. The spacers act as floating gate electrodes for the non-volatile memory device.
