摘要:
Contact via holes are etched in a dielectric material layer overlying a semiconductor layer to expose the topmost surface of the semiconductor layer. The contact via holes are extended into the semiconductor material layer by continuing to etch the semiconductor layer so that a trench having semiconductor sidewalls is formed in the semiconductor material layer. A metal layer is deposited over the dielectric material layer and the sidewalls and bottom surface of the trench. Upon an anneal at an elevated temperature, a metal semiconductor alloy region is formed, which includes a top metal semiconductor alloy portion that includes a cavity therein and a bottom metal semiconductor alloy portion that underlies the cavity and including a horizontal portion. A metal contact via is formed within the cavity so that the top metal semiconductor alloy portion laterally surrounds a bottom portion of a bottom portion of the metal contact via.

A method to achieve multiple threshold voltage (Vt) devices on the same semiconductor chip is disclosed. The method provides different threshold voltage devices using threshold voltage adjusting materials and a subsequent drive in anneal instead of directly doping the channel. As such, the method of the present disclosure avoids short channel penalties. Additionally, no ground plane/back gates are utilized in the present application thereby the method of the present disclosure can be easily integrated into current complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processing technology.

A substrate is provided, having formed thereon a first region and a second region of a complementary type to the first region. A gate dielectric is deposited over the substrate, and a first full metal gate stack is deposited over the gate dielectric. The first full metal gate stack is removed over the first region to produce a resulting structure. Over the resulting structure, a second full metal gate stack is deposited, in contact with the gate dielectric over the first region. The first and second full metal gate stacks are encapsulated.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for creating a CMOS with a dual raised source and drain for NMOS and PMOS. The spacers on both stack gates are of equal thickness. In this method, a first insulating layer is formed on the surface. The first region is then masked while the other region has the first layer etched away and has an epitaxial source and drain grown on the region. A second layer is formed to all exposed surfaces. The second region is then masked while the first region is etched away. The epitaxial source and drain is formed on the first region. The second region can also be masked by adding a thin layer of undoped silicon and then oxidize it. Another way to mask the second region is to use a hard mask. Another way to form the second source and drain is to use amorphous material.
摘要:
A structure and method to improve ETSOI MOSFET devices. A wafer is provided including regions with at least a first semiconductor layer overlying an oxide layer overlying a second semiconductor layer. The regions are separated by a STI which extends at least partially into the second semiconductor layer and is partially filled with a dielectric. A gate structure is formed over the first semiconductor layer and during the wet cleans involved, the STI divot erodes until it is at a level below the oxide layer. Another dielectric layer is deposited over the device and a hole is etched to reach source and drain regions. The hole is not fully landed, extending at least partially into the STI, and an insulating material is deposited in said hole.

摘要:
A common cut mask is employed to define a gate pattern and a local interconnect pattern so that local interconnect structures and gate structures are formed with zero overlay variation relative to one another. A local interconnect structure may be laterally spaced from a gate structure in a first horizontal direction, and contact another gate structure in a second horizontal direction that is different from the first horizontal direction. Further, a gate structure may be formed to be collinear with a local interconnect structure that adjoins the gate structure. The local interconnect structures and the gate structures are formed by a common damascene processing step so that the top surfaces of the gate structures and the local interconnect structures are coplanar with each other.
