    摘要: A method of forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device includes forming an oxide layer on sidewalls and a top surface of a patterned gate conductor, and on sidewalls of a gate insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate; forming a first carbon-based layer over the gate conductor, gate insulating layer, and substrate; etching the first carbon-based layer so as to create a first set of carbon spacers; forming a second carbon-based layer over the gate conductor, gate insulating layer, substrate, and first set of carbon spacers; etching the second carbon-based layer so as to create a second set of carbon spacers; forming silicide contacts on the gate conductor, and on source and drain regions formed in the substrate; removing the first and second sets of carbon spacers; and forming a stress-inducing nitride layer over the substrate, silicide contacts, gate conductor, and gate insulating layer.

    摘要: A method and structure for forming a notched gate structure having a gate conductor layer on a gate dielectric layer. The gate conductor layer has a first thickness. The inventive method includes patterning a mask over the gate conductor layer, etching the gate conductor layer in regions not protected by the mask to a reduced thickness, (the reduced thickness being less than the first thickness), depositing a passivating film over the gate conductor layer, etching the passivating film to remove the passivating film from horizontal portions of the gate conductor layer (using an anisotropic etch), selectively etching the gate conductor layer to remove the gate conductor layer from all regions not protected by the mask or the passivating film. This forms undercut notches within the gate conductor layer at corner locations where the gate conductor meets the gate dielectric layer. The passivating film comprises a C-containing film, a Si-containing film, a Si—C-containing film or combinations thereof.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure, and method of forming a semiconductor structure, that includes a gate structure on a semiconductor substrate, in which the gate structure includes a gate conductor and a high-k gate dielectric layer. The high-k gate dielectric layer is in contact with the base of the gate conductor and is present on the sidewalls of the gate conductor for a dimension that is less than ¼ the gate structure's height. The semiconductor structure also includes source regions and drain regions present in the semiconductor substrate on opposing sides of the gate structure.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming at least one fin and forming, over a first portion of the at least one fin structure, a gate. Gate spacers may be formed on the sidewalls of the gate, whereby the forming of the spacers creates recessed regions adjacent the sidewalls of the at least one fin. A first epitaxial region is formed that covers both one of the recessed regions and a second portion of the at least one fin, such that the second portion extends outwardly from one of the gate spacers. A first epitaxial layer is formed within the one of the recessed regions by etching the first epitaxial region and the second portion of the at least one fin. A second epitaxial region is formed at a location adjacent one of the spacers and over the first epitaxial layer within one of the recessed regions.
