    摘要: Described is a CMOS transistor structure with a multi-layered gate electrode structure and a method of fabrication. The gate electrode structure has a three-layered metallic gate electrode and a polysilicon layer. The first metallic layer acts as a barrier to prevent the second metallic layer from reacting with an underlying dielectric. The second metallic layer acts to set the work function of the gate electrode structure. The third metallic layer acts as a barrier to prevent the second metallic layer from reacting with the polysilicon layer.The method of fabricating the gate electrode structure includes forming the three metallic layers thick enough that each layer provides the barrier and work-function setting functions mentioned above, but also thin enough that a subsequent wet-etch can be performed without excessive undercutting of the metallic layers. During implant and anneal processes, the polysilicon layer acts as a protective mask over the metallic layers to protect an underlying silicon substrate from interacting with dopants used during the implant process.

    摘要: A method for cleaning optics in a chamber. The method can include introducing a first etchant into a chamber that encloses an optical component and a source of electromagnetic radiation that is suitable for lithography, ionizing the first etchant, and removing debris from a surface of the optical component.

    摘要: A method and system for cleaning collector optics in a light source chamber. In producing, for example, extreme ultraviolet light for lithography, debris such as tungsten can accumulate on optical components near a light source in the light source chamber.An etchant, such as a fluorine-containing gas, can be introduced into the light source chamber. The etchant is ionized via electrodes to generate free fluorine. The electrodes can be, for example, existing light source chamber components including the optical components. The fluorine can then react with the debris, forming gaseous compounds, which are pumped out of the light source chamber.
