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.

A method of forming interconnect structures in a semiconductor device, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor structure is provided. In the first embodiment, at least one metal line is formed over the semiconductor structure. A silicon-rich carbide barrier layer is formed over the metal line and semiconductor structure.

A method etching an organic-based, low dielectric constant material in the manufacture of an integrated circuit device has been achieved. Organic materials without silicon and organic materials without fluorine can be etched by using, for example, hydrazine or ammonia gas. Organic materials with silicon can also be etched with the addition of a fluorine-containing or chlorine-containing gas. A semiconductor substrate is provided. A low dielectric constant organic-based material is deposited overlying the semiconductor substrate. The low dielectric constant organic-based material is etched to form desirable features using a plasma containing a gas comprising a nitrogen and hydrogen containing molecule, and the integrated circuit device is completed.

Improved processes for fabricating wire bond pads on pure copper damascene are disclosed by this invention. The invention relates to various methods of fabrication used for semiconductor integrated circuit devices, and more specifically to the formation of Al—Cu alloy top pad metal layers are described, which improve adhesion among the wire bond, top Al—Cu and the underlying copper pad metallurgy. This invention describes processes wherein a special Al—Cu bond layer or region is placed on top of the underlying copper pad metal. This Al—Cu bond pad on pure copper (with barrier layer in-between) provides for improved wire bond adhesion to the bond pad and prevents peeling during wire bond adhesion tests.

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.

摘要:
An endpoint detection system for copper stripping using a colorimetric analysis of the change in concentration of a component is described. 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.

A new method of forming a metal oxide high dielectric constant layer in the manufacture of an integrated circuit device has been achieved. A substrate is provided. A metal oxide layer is deposited overlying the substrate by reacting a precursor with an oxidant gas in a chemical vapor deposition chamber. The metal oxide layer may comprise hafnium oxide or zirconium oxide. The precursor may comprise metal alkoxide, metal alkoxide containing halogen, metal &bgr;-diketonate, metal fluorinated &bgr;-diketonate, metal oxoacid, metal acetate, or metal alkene. The metal oxide layer is annealed to cause densification and to complete the formation of the metal oxide dielectric layer in the manufacture of the integrated circuit device. A composite metal oxide-silicon oxide (MO2-SiO2) high dielectric constant layer may be deposited using a precursor comprising metal tetrasiloxane.
