Abstract:
A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a dielectric layer formed over the semiconductor substrate, a first anti-etch layer, a second anti-etch layer and a conductive material. The dielectric layer has an opening. The first anti-etch layer is formed on the sidewall of the opening and made of a material having resistance to peroxide. The second anti-etch layer is formed over the first anti-etch layer and made of a material having resistance to acid. The conductive material is formed within the opening and in contact with the second anti-etch layer.
Abstract:
Some embodiments relate to an integrated circuit (IC). The IC includes a semiconductor substrate having an upper surface with a source region and drain region proximate thereto. A channel region is disposed in the substrate between the source region and the drain region. A gate electrode is disposed over the channel region and separated from the channel region by a gate dielectric. Sidewall spacers are formed about opposing sidewalls of the gate electrode. Upper outer edges of the sidewall spacers extend outward beyond corresponding lower outer edges of the sidewall spacers. A liner is disposed about opposing sidewalls of the sidewall spacers and has a first thickness at an upper portion of liner and a second thickness at a lower portion of the liner. The first thickness is less than the second thickness. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A UV curing system includes an enclosure defining an interior, a UV radiation source disposed within the interior of the enclosure, and a first window disposed within the interior of the enclosure. The first window creates a barrier that separates the UV radiation source and a processing chamber. A second window is disposed within the interior of the enclosure at a distance from the first window to define a gas channel. The second window defines a plurality of openings such that the gas channel is in fluid communication with the processing chamber. A gas inlet conduit is in fluid communication with the gas channel and is configured to introduce a cooling gas into the gas channel. A gas outlet is in fluid communication with the processing chamber and is configured to remove gas from the processing chamber.
Abstract:
A method of forming an interlayer dielectric film above a metal gate of a metal oxide semiconductor device comprises forming a metal gate above a semiconductor substrate; and forming the interlayer dielectric film above the metal gate by reacting a silicon-containing compound as precursor and a reactant for oxidizing the silicon-containing compound. The silicon-containing compound has the formula: Six(A)y(B)z(C)m(D)n (I) wherein x is in the range of from 1 to 9; y+z+m+n is in the range of from 4 to 20; and A, B, C, and D independently represent a functional group connecting with a silicon atom. The functional group is selected from a group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkylaryl, alkoxyl, alkylcarbonyl, carboxyl, alkylcarbonyloxy, amide, amino, alkylcarbonylamino, —NO2, and —CN.
