    摘要: A structure and a method are disclosed of an enhanced T-gate for modulation doped field effect transistors (MODFETs). The enhanced T-gate has insulator spacer layers sandwiching the neck portion of the T-gate. The spacer layers are thinner than the T-bar portion overhang. The insulating layer provides mechanical support and protects the vulnerable neck portion of the T-gate from chemical attack during subsequent device processing, making the T-gate structure highly scalable and improving yield. The use of thin conformal low dielectric constant insulating layers ensures a low parasitic gate capacitance, and reduces the risk of shorting gate and source metallurgy when source-to-gate spacings are reduced to smaller dimensions.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a thermally stable ultralow dielectric constant film comprising Si, C, O and H atoms in a parallel plate chemical vapor deposition process utilizing plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (“PECVD”) process is disclosed. To enable the fabrication of thermally stable ultralow dielectric constant film, specific precursor materials are used, such as, cyclic siloxanes and organic molecules containing ring structures, for instance, tetramethylcycloterasiloxane and cyclopentene oxide. To stabilize plasma in the PECVD reactor and thereby improve uniformity of the deposited film, CO2 is added to TMCTS as a carrier gas, or CO2 or a mixture of CO2 and O2 are added to the PECVD reactor.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a thermally stable carbon-based low dielectric constant film such as a hydrogenated amorphous carbon film or a diamond-like carbon film in a parallel plate chemical vapor deposition process utilizing plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process is disclosed. Electronic devices containing insulating layers of thermally stable carbon-based low dielectric constant materials that are prepared by the method are further disclosed. In order to render the carbon-based low dielectric constant film thermally stable, i.e., at a temperature of at least 400° C., the films are heat treated at a temperature of not less than 350° C. for at least 0.5 hour. To enable the fabrication of thermally stable carbon-based low dielectric constant film, specific precursor materials such as cyclic hydrocarbons should be used, for instance, cyclohexane or benzene. The geometry of the chemical vapor deposition chamber is important in making the present invention thermally stable low dielectric constant films in order to achieve a specific bias voltage on the substrate onto which the electronic structure is formed.
