摘要:
The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device that includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure disposed on a portion of the substrate, and strained structures disposed at either side of the portion of the substrate and formed of a semiconductor material different from the semiconductor substrate. The portion of the substrate is T shaped having a horizontal region and a vertical region that extends from the horizontal region in a direction away from a surface of the substrate.

An integrated circuit device and method for manufacturing the integrated circuit device is disclosed. The disclosed method provides improved control over a surface proximity and tip depth of an integrated circuit device. In an embodiment, the method achieves improved control by forming a doped region and a lightly doped source and drain (LDD) region in a source and drain region of the device. The doped region is implanted with a dopant type opposite to the LDD region.

A method for forming a high performance strained source-drain structure includes forming a gate structure on a substrate and forming a pocket implant region proximate to the gate structure. Spacers are formed adjacent to the gate structure. A dry etch forms a recess with a first contour; a wet etch enlarge the recess to a second contour; and a thermal etch enlarges the recess to a third contour. The source-drain structure is then formed in the recess having the third contour.

An integrated circuit chip includes a buffer layer, an underlying layer, a dielectric layer, a hole, and barrier layer. The buffer layer is over the underlying layer. The dielectric layer is over the buffer layer. The hole is formed in and extending through the dielectric layer and the buffer layer, and opens to the underlying layer. The hole includes a buffer layer portion at the buffer layer and a dielectric layer portion at the dielectric layer. At least part of the buffer layer portion of the hole has a larger cross-section area than a smallest cross-section area of the dielectric layer portion of the hole. The conformal barrier layer covers surfaces of the dielectric layer and the buffer layer in the hole. The hole is a via hole or a contact hole that is later filled with a conductive material to form a conductive via or a conductive contact.
摘要:
A field effect transistor gate structure and a method of fabricating the gate structure with a high-k gate dielectric material and high-k spacer are described. A gate pattern or trench is first etched in a dummy organic or inorganic film deposited over a silicon substrate with source/drain regions. A high-k dielectric material liner is then deposited on all exposed surfaces. Excess poly-silicon gate conductor film is then deposited within and over the trench to provide adequate overburden. Poly-silicon is then planarized with chemical mechanical polishing or etch-back methods such that the high-k material film on top of the dummy film surface is removed during this step. In the final step, the dummy film is disposed off, leaving the final transistor gate structure with high-k gate dielectric and high-k spacer surrounding the gate conductor poly-silicon, with the entire gate structure fabricated to form an FET device on a silicon substrate.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. A semiconductor element is formed on a substrate. The semiconductor element has at least one nickel silicide contact region, an etch stop layer formed over said element, and an insulating layer formed over said etch stop layer. A portion of the etch stop layer immediately over a selected contact region is removed using a process that does not substantially react with the contact region, to form a contact opening. The contact opening is then filled with a conductive material to form a contact.
摘要:
A plasma etch method for etching a dielectric layer and an etch stop layer to reach a metal silicide layer formed thereunder employs for etching the etch stop layer an etchant gas composition comprising a fluorine containing gas and a nitrogen containing gas, preferably with a carrier gas such as argon or helium, but without an oxygen containing gas or a carbon and oxygen containing gas. The plasma etch method is selective for the etch stop layer with respect to the metal silicide layer, thus maintaining the physical and electrical integrity of the metal silicide layer.
