    Abstract: A process for the in situ formation of a selective contact and a local interconnect on a semiconductor substrate. The exposed semiconductor substrate regions of a semiconductor device structure may be treated in a plasma to enhance the adhesiveness of a selective contact thereto. The semiconductor device structure is positioned within a reaction chamber, wherein a selective contact is deposited onto the exposed semiconductor substrate regions, Any residual selective contact material may be removed from oxide surfaces either intermediately or after selective contact deposition. While the semiconductor device remains in the reaction chamber, a local interconnect is deposited over the semiconductor device structure. The local interconnect may then be patterned. Subsequent layers may be deposited over the local interconnect. The present invention also includes semiconductor device structures formed by the inventive process.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor structure including metal nitride and metal silicide, where a metal silicide layer is formed upon an active area that is part of a junction in order to facilitate further miniaturization that is demanded and dictated by the need for smaller devices. A single PECVD process makes three distinct depositions. First, a metal silicide forms by the reaction: MHal+Si+H2→MSix+HHal, where M represents a metal and Hal represents a preferred halogen or the like. Second, a metal nitride forms upon areas not containing Si by the reaction: MHal+N2+H2→MN+HHal. Third, a metal nitride forms upon areas of evolving metal silicide due to a diffusion barrier effect that makes formation of the metal silicide self limiting. Ultimately, a metal nitride layer will be uniformly disposed in a substantially uniform composition covering all underlying structures upon a semiconductor substrate. The inventive method can be used to form a semiconductor structure having a semiconductive substrate with an electrically active region therein, where a structure projects from the semiconductive substrate adjacent to the electrically active region. A first metal silicide is upon the electrically active region and a second metal silicide is upon the structure. A metal nitride layer extends continuously from the first metal silicide to the second metal silicide. An electrically conductive metallization material is upon the metal nitride layer.

    Abstract: A cap layer that enables a photopatternable, spin-on material to be used in the formation of semiconductor device structures at wavelengths that were previously unusable. The photopatternable, spin-on material is applied as a layer to a semiconductor substrate. The cap layer and a photoresist layer are each formed over the photopatternable layer. The cap layer absorbs or reflects radiation and protects the photopatternable layer from a first wavelength of radiation used in patterning the photoresist layer. The photopatternable, spin-on material is convertible to a silicon dioxide-based material upon exposure to a second wavelength of radiation.

The dielectric is deposited by using an HDP-CVD system and performing a deposition of first and second layers of dielectric material. A first inert gas is utilized during the deposition of the first layer, and a second inert gas is utilized during the deposition of the second layer. Generally, a purge step is performed between the deposition of the first and second layers. The resulting dielectric layers are substantially free of voids and have low particle counts.
