摘要:
A semiconductor product includes an exposed Hafnium-containing layer. The Hafnium-containing layer is treated with a solution that includes a low ionic strength organic substance.
摘要:
It is one object to devise a solution which is suitable for a wet treatment of Hafnium containing high-k materials. Furthermore, it is an object to devise a use of this solution in the field of semiconductor device manufacturing. It is also an objective of the invention to devise a process to this aim.
摘要:
Systems and methods include introducing a semiconductor wafer into a process chamber. An etching chemistry is injected into the process chamber to etch a patterned layer and to release free-standing nanostructures on the semiconductor wafer. The etching chemistry includes a supercritical or liquid carbon dioxide fluid and an etching solution. The semiconductor wafer is rinsed by flooding a supercritical or liquid carbon dioxide fluid into the process chamber. The semiconductor wafer is dried by venting out supercritical or liquid carbon dioxide fluid from the process chamber.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing contact structures for DRAM semiconductor memories is disclosed. In one embodiment, contact openings are formed in a support area after execution of high-temperature processes for activating doping agents and repairing crystal defects. A low contact resistance between a conductive contact opening filling and an adjacent semiconductor substrate is achieved by forming a cobalt silicide or nickel silicide.
