A method of inhibiting deposition of material on a wall of a chemical vapor deposition reactor includes providing a chemical vapor deposition reactor having a wall which has an inside facing surface, the inside facing surface at least partially defining a chemical vapor deposition reactor chamber; forming a first material atop the inside facing surface; positioning a substrate in the chemical vapor deposition reactor chamber, the substrate having an outer surface; and chemical vapor depositing a second material layer on the substrate in a manner which is selective to the substrate outer surface, and not the first material, thereby restricting deposition of the second layer on the reactor inside facing surface.

A method of fabricating an integrated circuit having reduced threshold voltage shift is provided. A nonconducting region is formed on the semiconductor substrate and active regions are formed on the semiconductor substrate. The active regions are separated by the nonconducting region. A barrier layer and a dielectric layer are deposited over the nonconducting region and over the active regions. Heat is applied to the integrated circuit causing the barrier layer to anneal.

An embodiment comprising the steps of disposing a substrate in a chemical vapor deposition chamber and exposing the substrate surface to a SiO2 precursor gas, a carrier gas, and optionally a dopant gas in the presence of ozone and exposing the reaction volume of the gases above the substrate surface to a high intensity light source.
摘要:
A transistor gate forming method includes forming a first and a second transistor gate. Each of the two gates includes a lower metal layer and an upper metal layer. The lower metal layer of the first gate originates from an as-deposited material exhibiting a work function the same as exhibited in an as-deposited material from which the lower metal layer of the second gate originates. However, the first gate's lower metal layer exhibits a modified work function different from a work function exhibited by the second gate's lower metal layer. The first gate's lower metal layer may contain less oxygen and/or carbon in comparison to the second gate's lower metal layer. The first gate's lower metal layer may contain more nitrogen in comparison to the second gate's lower metal layer. The first gate may be a n-channel gate and the second gate may be a p-channel gate.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the invention described herein reduce contact resistance to a silicon-containing material using a first refractory metal material overlying the silicon-containing material and a second refractory metal material overlying the first refractory metal material. Each refractory metal material is a conductive material containing a refractory metal and an impurity. The first refractory metal material is a metal-rich material, containing a level of its impurity at less than a stoichiometric level. The second refractory metal material has a lower affinity for the impurities than does the first refractory metal material. The second refractory metal material can thus serve as an impurity donor during an anneal or other exposure to heat. This net migration of the impurities to the first refractory metal material limits growth of a metal silicide interface between the first refractory metal material and the underlying silicon-containing material, thereby providing ohmic contact with attendant thermal tolerance.

摘要:
The fixed charge in a borophosphosilicate glass insulating film deposited on a semiconductor device is reduced by reacting an organic precursor such as TEOS with O3. When done at temperatures higher than approximately 480 degrees C., the carbon level in the resulting film appears to be reduced, resulting in a higher threshold voltage for field transistor devices.

A method for use in the fabrication of a gate electrode includes providing a gate oxide layer and forming a titanium boride layer on the oxide layer. An insulator cap layer is formed on the titanium boride layer and thereafter, the gate electrode is formed from the titanium boride layer. A barrier layer may be formed on the oxide layer prior to forming the titanium boride layer with the gate electrode being formed from the barrier layer and the titanium boride layer. Further, a polysilicon layer may be formed on the gate oxide layer prior to forming the titanium boride layer with the gate electrode being formed from the titanium boride layer and the polysilicon layer. Yet further, a polysilicon layer may be formed on the gate oxide layer and a barrier layer formed on the polysilicon layer prior to forming the titanium boride layer. The gate electrode is then formed from the polysilicon layer, the barrier layer, and the titanium boride layer. Similar methods can further be used in the formation of interconnects to connect contact regions. Gate electrode structures and interconnect structures resulting from the methods are also described. Further, in such methods and structures, the titanium boride layer may be a titanium diboride layer or a titanium boride layer having silicon incorporated therein.
