    摘要: A CMOS integrated circuit has NMOS and PMOS transistors therein and an insulating layer extending on the NMOS transistors. The insulating layer is provided to impart a relatively large tensile stress to the NMOS transistors. In particular, the insulating layer is formed to have a sufficiently high internal stress characteristic that imparts a tensile stress in a range from about 2 gigapascals (2 GPa) to about 4 gigapascals (4 GPa) in the channel regions of the NMOS transistors.

    摘要: Methods are provided for forming dual damascene interconnect structures using different conductor materials to fill via holes and line trenches. For example, a method for forming an interconnection structure includes depositing dielectric material on a semiconductor substrate and etching the dielectric material to form a dual damascene recess structure including a via hole and trench. A layer of first conductive material is then conformally deposited to fill the via hole with the first conductive material, and the layer of first conductive material is etched to remove the first conductive material from the trench and an upper region of the via hole below the trench. A layer of second conductive material is then deposited to fill the trench and upper region of the via hole with the second conductive material.

    摘要: Provided are exemplary methods for forming a semiconductor devices incorporating silicide layers formed at temperatures below about 700° C., such as nickel silicides, that are formed after completion of a silicide blocking layer (SBL). The formation of the SBL tends to deactivate dopant species in the gate, lightly-doped drain and/or source/drain regions. The exemplary methods include a post-SBL activation anneal either in place of or in addition to the traditional post-implant activation anneal. The use of the post-SBL anneal produces CMOS transistors having properties that reflect reactivation of sufficient dopant to overcome the SBL process effects, while allowing the use of lower temperature silicides, including nickel silicides and, in particular, nickel silicides incorporating a minor portion of an alloying metal, such as tantalum, the exhibits reduced agglomeration and improved temperature stability.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device having a MOS transistor with a strained channel are provided. The method includes forming a MOS transistor at a portion of a semiconductor substrate. The MOS transistor is formed to have source/drain regions spaced apart from each other and a gate electrode located over a channel region between the source/drain regions. A stress layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate having the MOS transistor. The stress layer is then annealed to convert a physical stress of the stress layer into a tensile stress or increase a tensile stress of the stress layer.
