A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a polysilicon layer on a dielectric layer, which is formed on a substrate. The polysilicon layer is etched to generate a patterned polysilicon layer with an upper surface that is wider than its lower surface. The method may be applied, when using a replacement gate process to make transistors that have metal gate electrodes.

A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a dielectric layer on a substrate, and forming a first metal layer on a first part of the dielectric layer, leaving a second part of the dielectric layer exposed. After a second metal layer is formed on both the first metal layer and the second part of the dielectric layer, a masking layer is formed on the second metal layer.

摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body having a top surface and a first and second laterally opposite sidewalls as formed on an insulating substrate is claimed. A gate dielectric is formed on the top surface of the semiconductor body and on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. A gate electrode is then formed on the gate dielectric on the top surface of the semiconductor body and adjacent to the gate dielectric on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. The gate electrode comprises a metal film formed directly adjacent to the gate dielectric layer. A pair of source and drain regions are then formed in the semiconductor body on opposite sides of the gate electrode.

摘要:
A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a hard mask and an etch stop layer on a patterned sacrificial gate electrode layer. After first and second spacers are formed on opposite sides of that patterned sacrificial layer, the patterned sacrificial layer is removed to generate a trench that is positioned between the first and second spacers. At least part of the trench is filled with a metal layer.
