Abstract: Disclosed is a metal gate (e.g., a replacement metal gate (RMG) for a field effect transistor (FET) and a method of forming the metal gate. The method includes depositing a conformal dielectric layer to line a gate opening and performing a series of unclustered and clustered conformal metal deposition and chamfer processes to selectively adjust the heights of conformal metal layers within the gate opening. By selectively controlling the heights of the conformal metal layers, the method provides improved overall gate height control and gate quality particularly when the metal gate has a small critical dimension (CD) and/or a high aspect ratio (AR). The method can also include using different etch techniques during the different chamfer processes and, particularly, when different materials and/or different material interfaces are exposed to an etchant in order to ensure an essentially uniform etch rate of the conformal metal layer(s) at issue in a direction that is essentially vertical.

Abstract: A method of forming a gate structure in a gate cavity laterally defined by a sidewall spacer and recessing the sidewall spacer so as to form a recessed sidewall spacer with a recessed upper surface is disclosed. In this example, the method also includes performing at least one etching process to form a tapered upper surface on the exposed portion of the gate structure above the recessed upper surface of the spacer and forming a gate cap above the tapered upper surface of the gate structure and above the recessed upper surface of the recessed sidewall spacer.

Abstract: A methodology for forming a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) includes the co-integration of various isolation structures, including gate cut and shallow diffusion break isolation structures that are formed with common masking and etching steps. Following an additional patterning step to provide segmentation for source/drain conductive contacts, a single deposition step is used to form an isolation dielectric layer within each of gate cut openings, shallow diffusion break openings and cavities over shallow trench isolation between device active areas.

Abstract: Parallel fins are formed (in a first orientation), and source/drain structures are formed in or on the fins, where channel regions of the fins are between the source/drain structures. Parallel gate structures are formed to intersect the fins (in a second orientation perpendicular to the first orientation), source/drain contacts are formed on source/drain structures that are on opposite sides of the gate structures, and caps are formed on the source/drain contacts. After forming the caps, a gate cut structure is formed interrupting the portion of the gate structure that extends between adjacent fins. The upper portion of the gate cut structure includes extensions, where a first extension extends into one of the caps on a first side of the gate cut structure, and a second extension extends into the inter-gate insulator on a second side of the gate cut structure.

Abstract: Various processes form different structures including exemplary apparatuses that include (among other components) a first layer having channel regions, source/drain structures in the first layer on opposite sides of the channel regions, a gate insulator on the channel region, and a gate stack on the gate insulator. The gate stack can include a gate conductor, and a stack insulator or a gate contact on the gate conductor. The gate stack has lower sidewalls adjacent to the source/drain structures and upper sidewalls distal to the source/drain structures. Further, lower spacers are between the source/drain contacts and the lower sidewalls of the gate stack; and upper spacers between the source/drain contacts and the upper sidewalls of the gate stack. In some structures, the upper spacers can partially overlap the lower spacers.
