A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is illustrated. A modified profile opening is formed on a substrate. The modified profile opening includes a first width proximate a surface of the substrate and a second width opposing the substrate. The second width is greater than the first width. A metal gate electrode is formed by filling the modified profile opening with a conductive material. A semiconductor device is also described, the device having a metal gate structure with a first width and a second, differing, width.

A new method of forming a dual damascene structure involves forming a via-level precursor structure on a substrate and spin coating an oxide protective layer over the bottom anti-reflective coating, which is the last layer of the via-level precursor structure. A trench-level photoresist layer is deposited over the oxide protective layer to form a trench pattern etch mask. The oxide protective layer protects the BARC layer and the via plugs from photoresist removing process. When and if the trench-level photoresist layer is to be reworked, the trench-level photoresist layer is simply removed without removing the BARC layer and the via plugs under the oxide protective layer.

A method for fabricating an integrated device is disclosed. The disclosed method provides improved formation selectivity of epitaxial films over a pre-determined region designed for forming an epi film and a protective layer preferred not to form an epi, polycrystalline, or amorphous film thereon during an epi film formation process. In an embodiment, the improved formation selectivity is achieved by providing a nitrogen-rich protective layer to decrease the amount of growth epi, polycrystalline, or amorphous film thereon.

An integrated circuit device and method for manufacturing the integrated circuit device is disclosed. The disclosed method provides improved control over a surface proximity and tip depth of integrated circuit device. In an embodiment, the method achieves improved control by forming a lightly doped source and drain (LDD) region that acts as an etch stop. The LDD region may act as an etch stop during an etching process implemented to form a recess in the substrate that defines a source and drain region of the device.
