    摘要: A transistor is fabricated by removing a polysilicon gate over a doped region of a substrate and forming a mask layer over the substrate such that the doped region is exposed through a hole within the mask layer. An interfacial layer is deposited on top and side surfaces of the mask layer and on a top surface of the doped region. A layer adapted to reduce a threshold voltage of the transistor and/or reduce a thickness of an inversion layer of the transistor is deposited on the interfacial layer. The layer includes metal, such as aluminum or lanthanum, which diffuses into the interfacial layer, and also includes oxide, such as hafnium oxide. A conductive plug, such as a metal plug, is formed within the hole of the mask layer. The interfacial layer, the layer on the interfacial layer, and the conductive plug are a replacement gate of the transistor.

    摘要: An interconnect structure is provided in which the conductive features embedded within a dielectric material are capped with a metallic capping layer, yet no metallic residue is present on the surface of the dielectric material in the final structure. The inventive interconnect structure has improved dielectric breakdown strength as compared to prior art interconnect structures. Moreover, the inventive interconnect structure has better reliability and technology extendibility for the semiconductor industry. The inventive interconnect structure includes a dielectric material having at least one metallic capped conductive feature embedded therein, wherein a top portion of said at least one metallic capped conductive feature extends above an upper surface of the dielectric material. A dielectric capping layer is located on the dielectric material and it encapsulates the top portion of said at least one metallic capped conductive feature that extends above the upper surface of dielectric material.

    摘要: An electrostatic chuck includes an array of independently biased conductive chuck elements, an array of sensor-conductor assemblies, and/or a combination of an array of sensor-conductor assemblies and at least one motorized chuck. Conductive chuck elements, either standing alone or embedded in a sensor-conductor assembly, are independently biased electrostatically to compensate for bowing and/or warping of a substrate thereupon so that the substrate can be bonded with a planar surface. A single electrostatic chuck can be employed to reduce the bowing and warping of one of the two substrates to be bonded, or two electrostatic chucks can be employed to minimize the bowing and warping of two substrates to be bonded.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a circuit structure is disclosed. The method includes depositing epitaxially a SiGe layer onto both NFET and PFET portions of a Si surface. Blanket disposing a first sequence of layers over the SiGe layer, including a high-k dielectric and a metal, and incorporating this first sequence of layers into the gatestacks and gate insulators of both NFET devices and PFET devices. This first sequence of layers is selected to yield desired device parameter values for the PFET devices. The method further includes removing the gatestack, the gate dielectric, and the SiGe layer, and re-forming the NFET devices by deploying a second sequence of layers that include a second high-k dielectric and a second metal. The second sequence of layers is selected to yield desired device parameter values for the NFET devices. A circuit structure is also disclosed. PFET devices have a gate dielectric with a high-k dielectric, a gatestack with a metal, and a silicide formed over the p-source/drain. NFET devices also include a gate dielectric with a high-k dielectric, a gatestack with a metal, and silicide formed over the n-source/drain. An epitaxial SiGe layer over the substrate surface is present everywhere in the device structures with the exception that it is absent underneath the NFET gate dielectric. The PFET and NFET device parameters are independently optimized through the composition of their gate dielectrics and gate stacks.

    摘要: A dielectric layer is patterned with at least one line trough and/or at least one via cavity. A metallic nitride liner is formed on the surfaces of the patterned dielectric layer. A metal liner is formed on the surface of the metallic nitride liner. A conformal copper nitride layer is formed directly on the metal liner by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A Cu seed layer is formed directly on the conformal copper nitride layer. The at least one line trough and/or the at least one via cavity are filled with an electroplated material. The direct contact between the conformal copper nitride layer and the Cu seed layer provides enhanced adhesion strength. The conformal copper nitride layer may be annealed to covert an exposed outer portion into a contiguous Cu layer, which may be employed to reduce the thickness of the Cu seed layer.

    摘要: Forming a shallow trench capacitor in conjunction with an FET by forming a plurality of STI trenches; for the FET, implanting a first cell well having a first polarity between a first and a second of the STI trenches; for the capacitor, implanting a second cell well having a second polarity in an area of a third of the STI trenches; removing dielectric material from the third STI trench; forming a gate stack having a first portion located between the first and the second of the STI trenches and a second portion located over and extending into the third trench; and performing a source/drain implant of the same polarity as the second cell well, thereby forming a FET in the first cell well, and a capacitor in the second cell well. The second polarity may be opposite from the first polarity. An additional implant may reduce ESR in the second cell well.
