摘要: A method of controlling threshold voltage shift that includes forming a first set of channel semiconductor regions on a first portion of a substrate, and forming a second set of channel semiconductor regions on a second portion of the substrate. A gate structure is formed on the first set of channel semiconductor regions and the second set of channel, wherein the gate structure extends from a first portion of the substrate over an isolation region to a second portion of the substrate. A gate cut region is formed in the gate structure over the isolation region. An oxygen scavenging metal containing layer is formed on sidewalls of the gate cut region.

摘要: A method is presented for forming single diffusion break (SDB) without damaging source and drain epitaxial growth regions. The method includes forming the source and drain epitaxial regions between sacrificial gates, the sacrificial gates formed over a plurality of fins, depositing an interlayer dielectric (ILD) over the source and drain epitaxial regions, performing SDB patterning, and removing at least one of the sacrificial gates to expose the plurality of fins. The method further includes recessing the plurality of fins to create a first opening, forming inner spacers within the opening, removing the plurality of fins to create a second opening, dimensions of the second opening defined by the inner spacers, and laterally etching the second opening to increase SDB width.

摘要: Methods of forming semiconductor devices include forming a lower dielectric layer, to a height below a height of a dummy gate hardmask disposed across multiple device regions, by forming a dielectric fill to the height of a dummy gate and etching the dielectric fill back. A dummy gate structure includes the dummy gate and the dummy gate hardmask. A protective layer is formed on the dielectric layer to the height of the dummy gate hardmask. The dummy gate hardmask is etched back to expose the dummy gate.

摘要: A method for preserving interlevel dielectric in a gate cut region includes recessing a dielectric fill to expose cap layers of gate structures formed in a device region and in a cut region and forming a liner in the recess on top of the recessed dielectric fill. The liner includes a material to provide etch selectivity to protect the dielectric fill. The gate structures in the cut region are recessed to form a gate recess using the liner to protect the dielectric fill from etching. A gate material is removed from within the gate structure using the liner to protect the dielectric fill from etching. A dielectric gap fill is formed to replace the gate material and to fill the gate recess in the cut region.

摘要: FinFET devices comprising multilayer gate spacers are provided, as well as methods for fabricating FinFET devices in which multilayer gate spacers are utilized to prevent or otherwise minimize the erosion of vertical semiconductor fins when forming the gate spacers. For example, a method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprises forming a dummy gate structure over a portion of a vertical semiconductor fin of a FinFET device, and forming a multilayer gate spacer on the dummy gate structure. The multilayer gate spacer comprises a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer, wherein the first dielectric layer has etch selectivity with respect to the vertical semiconductor fin and the second dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the first dielectric layer comprises silicon oxycarbonitride (SiOCN) and the second dielectric layer comprises silicon boron carbon nitride (SiBCN).
