A structure and method are provided for fabricating a field effect transistor (FET) having a metal gate structure. A metal gate structure is formed in an opening within a dielectric region formerly occupied by a sacrificial gate. The metal gate structure includes a first layer contacting a gate dielectric formed over a semiconductor region of a substrate. The first layer includes a material selected from the group consisting of metals and metal compounds. The gate further includes a silicide formed over the first layer.

摘要:
In producing complementary sets of metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistors, including nMOS and pMOS transistors), carrier mobility is enhanced or otherwise regulated through the use of layering various stressed films over either the nMOS or pMOS transistor (or both), depending on the properties of the layer and isolating stressed layers from each other and other structures with an additional layer in a selected location. Thus both types of transistors on a single chip or substrate can achieve an enhanced carrier mobility, thereby improving the performance of CMOS devices and integrated circuits.

A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided that may include providing a semiconductor layer including a raised source and raised drain region that are separated by a recessed channel having a thickness of less than 20 nm, and forming a spacer on a sidewall of the raised source and drain region overlying a portion of the recessed channel. In a following process step, a channel implantation is performed that produces a dopant spike of opposite conductivity as the raised source and drain regions. Thereafter, the offset spacer is removed, and gate structure including a metal gate conductor is formed overlying the recessed channel.
摘要:
A structure and method for making includes adjacent pMOSFET and nMOSFET devices in which the gate stacks are each overlain by a stressing layer that provides compressive stress in the channel of the pMOSFET device and tensile stress in the channel of the nMOSFET device. One of the pMOSFET or nMOSFET device has a height shorter than that of the other adjacent device, and the shorter of the two devices is delineated by a discontinuity or opening in the stressing layer overlying the shorter device. In a preferred method for forming the devices a single stressing layer is formed over gate stacks having different heights to form a first type stress in the substrate under the gate stacks, and forming an opening in the stressing layer at a distance from the shorter gate stack so that a second type stress is formed under the shorter gate stack.
