    摘要: A method for reducing dendrite formation in a self-aligned, silicide process for a semiconductor device includes forming a silicide metal layer over a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor device having one or more diffusion regions, one or more isolation areas and one or more gate structures formed thereon. The concentration of metal rich portions of the metal layer is reduced through the introduction of silicon thereto, and the semiconductor device is annealed.

    摘要: A process for forming a conductive contact having a flat interface. A layer containing niobium and titanium is deposited on a silicon substrate and the resulting structure is annealed in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere at about 500° C. to about 700° C. By this process, a flatter interface between silicide and silicon, which is less likely to cause junction leakage, is formed on annealing. The step of annealing also produces a more uniform bilayer, which is a better barrier against tungsten encroachment during subsequent tungsten deposition. Larger silicide grains are also formed so that fewer grain boundaries are produced, reducing metal diffusion in grain boundaries. The process can be used to form contacts for very small devices and shallow junctions, such as are required for current and future semiconductor devices.

    摘要: A high quality electron microscopy sample suitable for electron holography is prepared by forming markers filled with TEOS oxide and by repeatedly applying multiple coats of an adhesive followed by a relatively low temperature cure after each application. The TEOS oxide marker is readily visible during the polish, has a similar polish rate as a semiconductor material, and reduces contamination during sample preparation. The repeated application of adhesives separated by relatively low temperature cures increases the adhesive strength of the adhesive material to the semiconductor material without making it too brittle. This results in an improved control and yield of the sample preparation process.
