    摘要: A method for fabricating a CMOS integrated circuit (IC) and ICs therefrom includes the steps of providing a substrate having a semiconductor surface, wherein the semiconductor surface has PMOS regions for PMOS devices and NMOS regions for NMOS devices. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the PMOS regions and NMOS regions. An original gate electrode layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer. A gate masking layer is applied on the gate electrode layer. Etching is used to pattern the original gate electrode layer to simultaneously form original gate electrodes for the PMOS devices and NMOS devices. Source and drain regions are formed for the PMOS devices and NMOS devices. The original gate electrodes are removed for at least one of the PMOS devices and NMOS devices to form trenches using an etch process, such as a hydroxide-based solution, wherein at least a portion and generally substantially all of the gate dielectric layer is preserved. A metal comprising replacement gates is formed in the trenches, and fabrication of the IC is completed.

    摘要: An improved method of forming a fully silicided (FUSI) gate in both NMOS and PMOS transistors of the same MOS device is disclosed. In one example, the method comprises forming a first silicide in at least a top portion of a gate electrode of the PMOS devices and not over the NMOS devices. The method further comprises concurrently forming a second silicide in at least a top portion of a gate electrode of both the NMOS and PMOS devices, and forming a FUSI gate silicide of the gate electrodes. In one embodiment, the thickness of the second silicide is greater than the first silicide by an amount which compensates for a difference in the rates of silicide formation between the NMOS and PMOS devices.

    摘要: The present invention substantially removes dry etch residue from a dry plasma etch process 110 prior to depositing a cobalt layer 124 on silicon substrate and/or polysilicon material. Subsequently, one or more annealing processes 128 are performed that cause the cobalt to react with the silicon thereby forming cobalt silicide regions. The lack of dry etch residue remaining between the deposited cobalt and the underlying silicon permits the cobalt silicide regions to be formed substantially uniform with a desired silicide sheet and contact resistance. The dry etch residue is substantially removed by performing a first cleaning operation 112 and then an extended cleaning operation 114 that includes a suitable cleaning solution. The first cleaning operation typically removes some, but not all of the dry etch residue. The extended cleaning operation 114 is performed at a higher temperature and/or for an extended duration and substantially removes dry etch residue remaining after the first cleaning operation 112.

    摘要: An improved method of forming a fully silicided (FUSI) gate in both NMOS and PMOS transistors of the same MOS device is disclosed. In one example, the method comprises forming oxide and nitride etch-stop layers over a top portion of the gates of the NMOS and PMOS transistors, forming a blocking layer over the etch-stop layer, planarizing the blocking layer down to the etch-stop layer over the gates, and removing a portion of the etch-stop layer overlying the gates. The method further includes implanting a preamorphizing species into the exposed gates to amorphize the gates, thereby permitting uniform silicide formation thereafter at substantially the same rates in the NMOS and PMOS transistors. The method may further comprise removing any remaining oxide or blocking layers, forming the gate silicide over the gates to form the FUSI gates, and forming source/drain silicide in moat areas of the NMOS and PMOS transistors.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method for forming a semiconductor structure in manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a pad layer on a surface of a substrate, providing a nitride layer on the pad layer, and providing a sacrificial oxide layer on the nitride layer. In a first etching step, at least the sacrificial oxide and nitride layers are etched to define opposing substantially vertical surfaces of at least the sacrificial oxide and nitride layers. In a second etching step, the nitride layer is etched such that the opposing substantially vertical surfaces of the nitride layer are recessed from the opposing substantially vertical surfaces of the sacrificial oxide layer, the sacrificial oxide layer substantially preventing the nitride layer from decreasing in thickness as a result of the etching of the nitride layer. In a third etching step, the substrate is etched to form a trench extending into the substrate for purposes of defining one or more isolation regions adjacent the trench.
