    Abstract: A structure and method of making an N-FET with a highly doped source/drain and strain booster are presented. The method provides a substrate with a Ge channel region. A gate dielectric is formed over the Ge channel and a gate electrode is formed over the gate dielectric. Sacrificial gate spacers are disposed on the sidewalls of the gate dielectric and gate electrode. Cavities are etched into the substrate extending under the sacrificial gate spacers. Si1−xGex source/drain regions are doped in-situ during formation, x

    Abstract: A method of forming a via in a low-k dielectric material and without the attendant via poisoning problem, or a dual damascene structure formed in the same dielectric and without the same problem are disclosed. The vertical walls of the via opening are first lined with a low-k protection layer and then covered with a barrier layer in order to prevent outgassing from the low-k dielectric material when copper is deposited into the via opening. In the case of a dual damascene structure, it is sufficient that the hole opening underlying the trench opening is first lined with the low-k protection layer. The resulting via or dual damascene structure is free of poisoned metal and, therefore, more reliable.

    Abstract: A method for forming an improved TaN copper barrier for a copper damascene process is described which has improved adhesion to low-k dielectric layers and also improves the wetting of a copper seed layer deposited over it thereby improving the structure of the copper seed layer which is critical to achieving uniform, high quality electrochemical copper deposition. The copper barrier is a composite structure having an lower thin Ta rich TaN portion which mixes into and reacts with the surface of the low-k dielectric layer, forming a strongly bonded transition layer between the low-k material and the remaining portion of the barrier layer. The presence of the transition layer causes compressive film stress rather than tensile stress as found in the conventional TaN barrier. As a result, the barrier layer does not delaminate from the low-k layer during subsequent processing. A second thick central portion of the barrier layer is formed of stoichiometric TaN which benefits subsequent CMP of the copper damascene structure. An upper thin Ta portion improves barrier wetting to the copper seed layer. The three sections of the laminar barrier are sequentially deposited in a single pumpdown operation by IMP sputtering from a Ta target.
