    摘要: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a silicided gate that is directed to forming the silicided structures while maintaining gate-dielectric integrity. Initially, a gate structure has, preferably, a poly gate electrode separated from a substrate by a gate dielectric and a metal layer is then deposited over at least the poly gate electrode. The fabrication environment is placed at an elevated temperature. The gate structure may be one of two gate structures included in a dual gate device such as a CMOS device, in which case the respective gates may be formed at different heights (thicknesses) to insure that the silicide forms to the proper phase. The source and drain regions are preferably silicided as well, but in a separate process performed while the gate electrodes are protected by, for example a cap of photoresist or a hardmask structure.

    摘要: A method for making reliable low-resistance contacts between closely spaced FET gate electrodes having high-aspect-ratio spacings. Polysilicon gate electrodes are formed. A conformal insulating layer is deposited and anisotropically etched back to form sidewall spacers on the gate electrodes. During conventional etch-back, the etch rate of the insulating layer between the closely spaced gate electrodes is slower resulting in a residual oxide that prevents the formation of reliable low-resistance contacts. This residual oxide requires an overetch in a hydrofluoric acid solution prior to forming silicide contacts. The wet overetch results in device degradation. A nitrogen or germanium implant is used to amorphize the oxide and to increase the wet etch rate of the residual oxide. Using this amorphization the wet etch that is commonly used as a pre-clean prior to forming silicide contacts can be used to remove the residual silicon oxide without overetching. The implant also results in a smoother interface between the silicide and the silicon substrate, which results in lower sheet resistance.

    摘要: The problem of key-hole formation during the filling of small diameter via holes has been overcome by means of soft sputtering in argon after the barrier layer is in place. This sputtering step may be used twice--once to widen the mouth of a newly formed via hole, and a second time after the barrier layer is in place, thereby widening the mouth further (as well as removing oxide from the surface of the barrier layer). In an alternate optional embodiment, widening of the via hole mouth may be limited to a single sputtering step after the barrier layer has been laid down. In either case, this is followed by filling of the via hole which occurs without any key-hole formation.
