摘要: A method for preserving interlevel dielectric in a gate cut region includes recessing a dielectric fill to expose cap layers of gate structures formed in a device region and in a cut region and forming a liner in the recess on top of the recessed dielectric fill. The liner includes a material to provide etch selectivity to protect the dielectric fill. The gate structures in the cut region are recessed to form a gate recess using the liner to protect the dielectric fill from etching. A gate material is removed from within the gate structure using the liner to protect the dielectric fill from etching. A dielectric gap fill is formed to replace the gate material and to fill the gate recess in the cut region.

摘要: A method is presented for forming a semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a plurality of vertical fins over a semiconductor layer formed over a substrate, depositing an oxide over the plurality of fins, and applying a cutting mask over a portion of the plurality of fins. The method further includes removing the oxide from the exposed portion of the plurality of fins, depositing a replacement gate stack, and etching portions of the replacement gate stack to remove exposed fins, the exposed fins forming recesses within the semiconductor layer. The method further includes depositing a spacer over the exposed fins and the recesses formed by the removed fins. A portion of the plurality of fins are cut during etching of the replacement gate stack and a portion of the oxide is removed before deposition of the replacement gate stack.

摘要: A method for filling gaps between structures includes forming a plurality of high aspect ratio structures adjacent to one another with gaps, forming a first dielectric layer on tops of the structures and conformally depositing a spacer dielectric layer over the structures. The spacer dielectric layer is removed from horizontal surfaces and a protection layer is conformally deposited over the structures. The gaps are filled with a flowable dielectric, which is recessed to a height along sidewalls of the structures by a selective etch process such that the protection layer protects the spacer dielectric layer on sidewalls of the structures. The first dielectric layer and the spacer dielectric layer are exposed above the height using a higher etch resistance than the protection layer to maintain dimensions of the spacer layer dielectric through the etching processes. The gaps are filled by a high density plasma fill.
