    摘要: A metal layer etch process deposits, patterns and anisotropically etches a polysilicon layer (24) down to an underlying metal layer (22) to form an etched polysilicon structure (54) with polymer layers (50, 52) formed on its sidewall surfaces. The polymer layer (50, 52) are removed to expose an additional surface area (60, 62) of the metal layer (22), and dielectric layers (80, 82) are formed on the sidewall surfaces of the etched polysilicon structure (54). Next, the metal layer (22) is plasma etched to form an etched metal layer (95) with substantially vertical sidewall surfaces (97, 99) by simultaneously charging the dielectric layers (80, 82) to change plasma ion trajectories near the dielectric layers (80, 82) so that plasma ions (92, 94) impact the sidewall surfaces (97, 99) in a more perpendicular angle to enhance etching of the sidewall surfaces (97, 99) of the etched metal layer (95).

    摘要: A semiconductor device manufacturing process for forming a contact plug includes sequentially depositing a titanium or tantalum contact layer (30), a titanium nitride barrier layer (40), and a tungsten seed layer (50) in a contact opening (24). The contact hole (24) is then filled up from a bottom surface of the contact opening by electroplating a copper layer (60) so that no voids are formed in the contact opening (24). Any excess metal is removed with a CMP process to form the contact plugs (70), where the CMP process may also used to thin or remove one or more of the contact/seed/barrier layers (30, 40, 50).

    摘要: A semiconductor device has a P channel gate stack comprising a first metal type and a second metal type over the first metal type and an N channel gate stack comprising the second metal type in direct contact with a gate dielectric/etch stop layer stack. The N channel gate stack and the P channel gate stack are etched by a dry etch. Either the gate dielectric or etch stop can be in contact with the substrate. The etch stop layer prevents the dry etch of the first and second metal layers from etching through the gate dielectric and gouging the underlying substrate.

    摘要: Heating a reaction chamber or other apparatus in the absence of product wafers to a “curing” temperature above a deposition temperature between the deposition of a film on a first set of semiconductor product wafers and the deposition of a film on a second set of semiconductor product wafers. In some embodiments, a boat with filler wafers is in the reaction chamber when the reaction chamber is heated to the curing temperature. In some examples, the films are deposited by a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process. With some processes, if the deposition of a film on product wafers is at a temperature below a certain temperature, the film deposited with the product wafer on a boat, filler wafers, and/or other structures in the reaction chamber can cause contamination of product wafers subsequently deposited with a film in the presence of the boat and filler wafers. Contamination from these previously deposited films is inhibited by applying a curing temperature to the deposited fillers in the absence of the product wafers before a film is deposited on the next set of product wafers.

The method includes forming a first opening in a dielectric layer overlying the gate electrode and the source/drain region, wherein the first opening extends substantially to the gate electrode corresponding to the first transistor. The method further includes after forming the first opening, forming a second opening, contiguous with the first opening, in the overlying dielectric layer, wherein the second opening extends substantially to the source/drain region corresponding to the second transistor. The method further includes forming the shared contact between the gate electrode corresponding to the first transistor and the source/drain region corresponding to the second transistor by filling the first opening and the second opening with a conductive material.

    摘要: One or more impurities may be incorporated within a metal-containing layer of a metal-containing gate electrode to modify the work function of the metal-containing gate electrode of a transistor can affect the threshold voltage of the transistor. In one embodiment, the impurity can be used in a p-channel transistor to allow the work function of a metal-containing gate electrode to be closer to the valence band for silicon. In another embodiment, the impurity can be used in an n-channel transistor to allow the work function of a metal-containing gate electrode to be closer to the conduction band for silicon. In a particular embodiment, a boron-containing species is implanted into a metal-containing layer within the metal-containing gate electrode within a p-channel transistor, so that the metal-containing gate electrode has a work function closer to the valence band for silicon as compared to the metal-containing gate electrode without the boron-containing species.
