    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods of forming replacement gate structures. In one example, the method includes forming a sacrificial gate structure above a semiconducting substrate, removing the sacrificial gate structure to thereby define a gate cavity, forming a layer of insulating material in the gate cavity and forming a layer of metal within the gate cavity above the layer of insulating material. The method further includes forming a sacrificial material in the gate cavity so as to cover a portion of the layer of metal and thereby define an exposed portion of the layer of metal, performing an etching process on the exposed portion of the layer of metal to thereby remove the exposed portion of the layer of metal from within the gate cavity, and, after performing the etching process, removing the sacrificial material and forming a conductive material above the remaining portion of the layer of metal.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is formed with low resistivity self aligned silicide contacts with high-K/metal gates. Embodiments include postponing silicidation of a metal layer on source/drain regions in a silicon substrate until deposition of a high-K dielectric, thereby preserving the physical and morphological properties of the silicide film and improving device performance. An embodiment includes forming a replaceable gate electrode on a silicon-containing substrate, forming source/drain regions, forming a metal layer on the source/drain regions, forming an ILD over the metal layer on the substrate, removing the replaceable gate electrode, thereby forming a cavity, depositing a high-K dielectric layer in the cavity at a temperature sufficient to initiate a silicidation reaction between the metal layer and underlying silicon, and forming a metal gate electrode on the high-K dielectric layer.

    摘要: Methods are provided for substantially preventing and filling overetched regions in a silicon oxide layer of a semiconductor substrate. The overetched regions may be formed as a result of overetching of the silicon oxide layer during etching of an overlying silicon-comprising material layer to form a silicon-comprising structure. An etch resistant spacer may be formed after the initial or subsequent overetches. The etch resistant spacer may be formed by depositing an etch resistant material into the overetched region and etching the deposited etch resistant material to leave residual etch resistant material forming the etch resistant spacer. The etch resistant spacer may also be formed by exposing the silicon oxide layer in the overetched region to a nitrogen-supplying material to form a silicon oxynitride etch resistant spacer.
