    摘要: By forming a capping layer after a CMP process for planarizing the surface topography of an ILD layer, any surface irregularities may be efficiently sealed, thereby reducing the risk for forming conductive surface irregularities during the further processing. Consequently, yield loss effects caused by leakage paths or short circuits in the first metallization layer may be significantly reduced.

    摘要: Methods are provided for the fabrication of abrupt and tunable offset spacers for improved transistor short channel control. The methods include the formation of a gate electrode within a dielectric layer, with only a top portion of the gate electrode exposed. Silicon is added on the top portion of the gate electrode, by selective epitaxial growth, for example. Etching of the dielectric layer is performed with added silicon at the top portion of the gate electrode serving as a silicon mask to prevent etching of the dielectric layer directly underneath the silicon mask, which includes overhangs over the gate electrode sidewalls. The etching creates offset spacers in a production-worthy manner, and can be used to form offset spacers that are asymmetrical in width. By running the methodology in a microloading regime, wider offset spacers may be created on narrower polysilicon gate features, thereby improving Vt roll-off.

    摘要: The method for forming a semiconductor device arrangement with raised source/drains includes depositing a raised source/drain layer on a substrate, followed by a sacrificial layer on the raised source/drain layer. A trench is formed in the sacrificial layer and the raised source/drain layer, and sidewall spacers are formed within the trench. A replacement gate is formed between the sidewall spacers and the sacrificial layer is removed to expose the raised source/drain regions. The sidewall spacers may then be removed from the sidewalls of the replacement gate, leaving the replacement gate a defined distance from the raised source/drain regions.

    摘要: For complex CMP processes requiring the removal of different dielectric materials, possibly in the presence of a polysilicon material, a slurry material may be adapted at the point of use by selecting an appropriate pH value and avoiding agglomeration of the abrasive particles. The in situ preparation of the slurry material may also enable a highly dynamic adaptation of the removal conditions, for instance when exposing the polysilicon material of gate electrode structures in replacement gate approaches.
