摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a first metallization layer, a first diffusion barrier layer, a first etch stop layer, a dielectric layer and a via extending through the dielectric layer, the first etch stop layer, and the first diffusion barrier layer. The first diffusion barrier layer is disposed over the first metallization layer. The first etch stop layer is disposed over the first diffusion barrier layer, and the dielectric layer is disposed over the first etch stop layer. The via can also have rounded corners. A sidewall diffusion barrier layer can be disposed on sidewalls of the via, and the sidewall diffusion barrier layer is formed from the same material.as the first diffusion barrier layer. The first diffusion barrier layer can be formed from silicon carbide. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device is also disclosed.

A method for shrinking a semiconductor device and minimizing auto-doping problem is disclosed. An etch stop layer is eliminated and is replaced with a consumable liner oxide layer so that stacked gate structures of the device can be positioned closer together, thus permitting shrinking of the device. The liner oxide layer is formed directly over a substrate and in contact with stacked gate structures, sidewall spacers, and sources and drains formed on the substrate, and serves as an auto-doping barrier for the dielectric layer to prevent boron and phosphorous formed in the dielectric layer from auto-doping into the sources and drains.

A method for forming a single damascene and/or dual damascene, contact and interconnect structure, comprising: performing front end processing, depositing copper including a copper barrier, annealing the copper in at least 90% N2 with less than 10% H2, performing planarization, performing in-situ low-H NH3 plasma treatment and low Si—H SiN etch stop layer deposition, and performing remaining back end processing.
摘要:
A buried local interconnect and method of forming the same counterdopes a region of a doped substrate to form a counterdoped isolation region. A hardmask is formed and patterned on the doped substrate, with a recess being etched through the patterned hardmask into the counterdoped region. Dielectric spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the recess, with a portion of the bottom of the recess being exposed. A metal is then deposited in the recess and reacted to form silicide at the bottom of the recess. The recess is filled with fill material, which is polished. The hardmask is then removed to form a silicide buried local interconnect.

摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for processing an organic memory cell. An exemplary system can employ an enclosed processing chamber, a passive layer formation component operative to form a passive layer on a first electrode, and an organic semiconductor layer formation component operative to form an organic semiconductor layer on the passive layer. A wafer substrate is not needed to transfer from a passive layer formation system to an organic semiconductor layer formation system. The passive layer is not exposed to air after formation of the passive layer and before formation of the organic semiconductor layer. As a result, conductive impurities caused by the exposure to air do not occur in the thin film layer, thus improving productivity, quality, and reliability of organic memory devices. The system can further employ a second electrode formation component operative to form a second electrode on the organic semiconductor layer.

An integrated circuit includes multiple layers. A semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafer can be used to house transistors. Two substrates or wafers can be bonded to form the multiple layers. A strained semiconductor layer can be between a silicon germanium layer and a buried oxide layer. A hydrogen implant can provide a breaking interface to remove a silicon substrate from the silicon germanium layer.

Semiconductor devices with improved data retention are formed by depositing an undoped oxide liner on spaced apart transistors followed by in situ deposition of a BPSG layer. Embodiments include depositing an undoped silicon oxide liner derived from TEOS, as at a thickness of 400 Å to 600 Å, on transistors of a non-volatile semiconductor device, as by sub-atmospheric chemical vapor deposition, followed by depositing the BPSG layer in the same deposition chamber.

A method of forming an integrated circuit with a semiconductor substrate is provided. A gate dielectric is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate is formed on the gate dielectric. Source/drain junctions are formed in the semiconductor substrate. A sidewall spacer is formed around the gate using a low power plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process A silicide is formed on the source/drain junctions and on the gate, and an interlayer dielectric is deposited above the semiconductor substrate. Contacts are then formed in the interlayer dielectric to the silicide.
