    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a metal gate pattern is provided in which capping layers are used to control the relative oxidation rates of portions of the metal gate pattern during a oxidation process. The capping layer may be a multilayer structure and may be etched to form insulating spacers on the sidewalls of the metal gate pattern. The capping layer(s) allow the use of a selective oxidation process, which may be a wet oxidation process utilizing partial pressures of both H2O and H2 in an H2-rich atmosphere, to oxidize portions of the substrate and metal gate pattern while suppressing the oxidation of metal layers that may be included in the metal gate pattern. This allows etch damage to the silicon substrate and edges of the metal gate pattern to be reduced while substantially maintaining the original thickness of the gate insulating layer and the conductivity of the metal layer(s).

    摘要: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a polysilicon layer on which a heat treatment is performed in hydrogen atmosphere, a preliminary polysilicon layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. Fluorine (F) impurities are implanted onto the preliminary polysilicon layer, so that the preliminary polysilicon layer is formed into a polysilicon layer. A main heat treatment is performed on the polysilicon layer, thereby preventing a void caused by the fluorine (F) in the polysilicon layer. A subsidiary heat treatment is further performed on the polysilicon layer prior to the main heat treatment, thereby activating dopants in the polysilicon layer. Electrical characteristics and performance of a semiconductor device are improved since the void is sufficiently prevented in the polysilicon layer.
