    摘要: A method for forming an extended metal gate without poly wrap around effects. A semiconductor structure is provided having a gate structure thereon. The gate structure comprising a gate dielectric layer, a gate silicon layer, a doped silicon oxide layer, and a disposable gate layer stacked sequentially. Spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the gate structure. A dielectric gapfill layer is formed over the semiconductor structure and the gate structure and planarized, stopping on the disposable gate layer. A first silicon nitride layer is formed over the disposable gate layer, and a dielectric layer is formed over the first silicon nitride layer. The dielectric layer is patterned to form a trench over the gate structure; wherein the trench has a width greater than the width of the gate structure. The first silicon nitride layer in the bottom of the trench and the disposable gate layer are removed using one or more selective etching processes. The doped silicon oxide layer is removed using an etch with a high selectivity of doped silicon oxide to undoped silicon oxide. A barrier layer is formed over the gate silicon layer, and a metal gate layer is formed on the barrier layer; whereby the metal gate layer has a greater width than the gate structure.

    摘要: An improved method for removing a photoresist mask from an etched aluminum pattern after etching the pattern in a chlorine containing plasma has been developed. The method is a five step process, in which the first step is in a microwave generated plasma containing O2 and H2O; the second step is in a microwave generated plasma containing O2 and N2; the third step is in a microwave generated plasma containing H2O; the fourth step is in a microwave generated plasma containing O2 and N2; and the fifth step is in a microwave generated plasma containing H2O. The first step which initiates removal of photoresist while simultaneously beginning the passivation process causes residue-free removal of photoresist following etching of aluminum or aluminum-copper layers in chlorine bearing etchants.

    摘要: A method for introducing air into the gaps between neighboring conducting structures in a microelectronics fabrication in order to reduce the capacitative coupling between them. A patterned metal layer is deposited on a substrate. The layer is lined with a CVD-oxide. A disposable gap-filling material is deposited over the lined metal layer. A two layer “air-bridge” is formed over the gap-fill by depositing a layer of TiN over a layer of CVD-oxide. This structure is rendered porous by several chemical processes. An oxygen plasma is passed through the porous air-bridge to react with and dissolve the gap-fill beneath it. The reaction products escape through the porous air-bridge resulting in air-filled gaps.

Wet copper stripping chemicals are used to strip copper from a wafer whereby an eluent is produced. The eluent is continuously analyzed by colorimetric analysis for the presence of copper. The copper stripping process is stopped when the presence of copper is no longer detected. Also novel compounds or chemicals for use in an endpoint detection system for copper stripping using a colorimetric analysis of the change in concentration of the novel compounds or chemicals are described. A composition of matter that serves as an indicator of the presence of copper by colorimetric analysis comprises: 1) Fast Sulphon Black F indicator and an ammonium ion-containing solution or 2) a complexing agent, comprising a diamine, an amine macrocycle, or a monoamine.
