    摘要: Semiconductor devices having fully metal silicided gate electrodes, and methods for making the same, are disclosed. The devices have shallow S/D extensions with depths of less than about 500 Å. The methods for making the subject semiconductor devices employ diffusion of dopant from metal suicides to form shallow S/D extensions, followed by high energy implantation and activation, and metal silicidation to form S/D junctions having metal silicide connect regions and a fully metal silicided electrode.

    摘要: A method for forming a metal interconnect structure provides a conformal layer of barrier material, such as a nitride, within a patterned opening in a dielectric layer. The barrier material is deposited after the opening is etched to the dielectric layer, stopping on a diffusion barrier. A first layer of a metal barrier material, such as tantalum, is conformally deposited on the barrier material. A directional etch is performed that removes horizontal nitride and tantalum, leaving the nitride and tantalum on the sidewalls of the patterned opening. The barrier material prevents contamination of the dielectric layer from conductive material, such as copper, during the etching of the diffusion barrier overlying the conductive material, and during subsequent sputter etch cleaning. A thin, second metal layer is conformally deposited and forms a suitable barrier on the sidewalls of the opening, while providing low contact resistance between the second metal layer and the underlying substrate. The second metal layer serves as a nucleation step for electrolessly plating a copper seed layer.

    摘要: A polishing slurry composition and its method of making for planarization of silicon semiconductor wafers by chemical mechanical polishing of the wafer. A slurry formulation utilizing a ferric salt tungsten oxidizer, an ammonium persulfate titanium oxidizer, a fatty acid suspension agent, alumina particles with a small diameter and tight diameter range, coated with a solubility coating, and a chemical stabilizer, provides high tungsten and titanium polish rates with high selectivity to silicon dioxide, and good oxide defectivity for use in tungsten local interconnect applications. A method for making a tungsten slurry includes first thoroughly blending small diameter alumina particles with a tight diameter range in an aqueous concentrate with a suspension agent, then mixing with water and oxidizers. Ferric salt tungsten slurries made by this method provide excellent tungsten polish characteristics for via plug and local interconnect applications.

    摘要: A structure and method for determining barrier layer integrity for multi-level copper metallization structures in integrated circuit manufacturing. Novel testing structures prevent any conducting residues of the copper CMP from diffusing into the dielectric layer. Barrier layer integrity is tested by performing leakage or other electrical measurements between copper features on two different metal levels.
