摘要:
A substrate contact and semiconductor chip, and methods of forming the same. The substrate contact is employable with a semiconductor chip formed from a semiconductor substrate and includes a seal ring region about a periphery of an integrated circuit region. In one embodiment, the substrate contact includes a contact trench extending through a shallow trench isolation region and an insulator overlying the semiconductor substrate and outside the integrated circuit region. The contact trench is substantially filled with a conductive material thereby allowing the semiconductor substrate to be electrically connected with a metal interconnect within the seal ring region.

A method of manufacturing a microelectronic device includes forming a p-channel transistor on a silicon substrate by forming a poly gate structure over the substrate and forming a lightly doped source/drain region in the substrate. An oxide liner and nitride spacer are formed adjacent to opposing side walls of the poly gate structure and a recess is etched in the semiconductor substrate on opposing sides of the oxide liner. Raised SiGe source/drain regions are formed on either side of the oxide liner and slim spacers are formed over the oxide liner. A hard mask over the poly gate structure is used to protect the poly gate structure during the formation of the raised SiGe source/drain regions. A source/drain dopant is then implanted into the substrate including the SiGe regions.

A method for manufacturing a metal gate includes providing a substrate including a gate electrode located on the substrate. A plurality of layers is formed, including a first layer located on the substrate and the gate electrode and a second layer adjacent the first layer. The layers are etched to form a plurality of adjacent spacers, including a first spacer located on the substrate and adjacent the gate electrode and a second spacer adjacent the first spacer. The first spacer is then etched and a metal layer is formed on the device immediately adjacent to the gate electrode. The metal layer is then reacted with the gate electrode to form a metal gate.

摘要:
A method for forming a gate electrode for a multiple gate transistor provides a doped, planarized gate electrode material which may be patterned using conventional methods to produce a gate electrode that straddles the active area of the multiple gate transistor and has a constant transistor gate length. The method includes forming a layer of gate electrode material having a non-planar top surface, over a semiconductor fin. The method further includes planarizing and doping the gate electrode material, without doping the source/drain active areas, then patterning the gate electrode material. Planarization of the gate electrode material may take place prior to the introduction and activation of dopant impurities or it may follow the introduction arid activation of dopant impurities. After the gate electrode is patterned, dopant impurities are selectively introduced to the semiconductor fin to form source/drain regions.
