摘要:
A method of forming spacers with different widths on a semiconductor substrate, includes the steps of disposing a first spacer layer over the substrate, defining the first spacer layer into a plurality of spacers of a first width, and disposing a second spacer layer selectively over the first spacer layer of a number of the spacers preselected for the second spacer layer, the predetermined number of the spacers with the second spacer layer each having a second width which is different from the first width.
摘要:
A method of forming pluralities of gate sidewall spacers each plurality comprising different associated gate sidewall spacer widths including providing a first plurality of gate structures; blanket depositing a first dielectric layer over the first plurality of gate structures; blanket depositing a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer; etching back through a thickness of the first and second dielectric layers; blanket depositing a first photoresist layer to cover the first plurality and patterning to selectively expose at least a second plurality of gate structures; isotropically etching the at least a second plurality of gate structures for a predetermined time period to selectively etch away a predetermined portion of the first dielectric layer; and, selectively etching away the second dielectric layer to leave gate structures comprising a plurality of associated sidewall spacer widths.
摘要:
In a method of forming an integrated circuit, a sacrificial layer is formed over a substrate. The sacrificial layer has a gate trench formed therein and a first layer of a first material formed over the substrate in the gate trench. A second layer of a second material is formed over the first layer in the gate trench. The first and second layers are processed to form a layer of a high-K dielectric material.
摘要:
A Cu damascene structure is formed where Cu diffusion barrier is formed by treating the top surface of the surrounding low-k interlayer dielectric with nitrogen or carbon containing medium to form a silicon nitride or silicon carbide diffusion barrier rather than capping the top surface of the Cu with metal diffusion barrier as is conventionally done.

A method of forming pluralities of gate sidewall spacers each plurality comprising different associated gate sidewall spacer widths including providing a plurality of gate structures formed overlying a substrate and a plurality of dielectric layers formed substantially conformally overlying the gate structures; exposing a first selected portion of the plurality followed by anisotropically etching through a thickness portion comprising at least the uppermost dielectric layer to form a first sidewall spacer width; exposing a first subsequent selected portion of the plurality followed by etching through at least a thickness portion of the uppermost dielectric layer; and, exposing a second subsequent selected portion of the plurality followed by anisotropically etching through at least a thickness portion of the uppermost dielectric layer to form a subsequent sidewall spacer width.
摘要:
Apparatus for forming a semiconductor structure comprising a first layer on top of a substrate wherein the first layer defines conductive regions such as copper interconnect lines and non-conductive regions such as dielectric materials. The conductive regions are covered by a second layer of a material different than the first layer such as for example nickel and then the structure is heat treated such that the interconnect lines and second metal, such as a copper interconnect line and a nickel second layer, interact with each other to form an alloy layer. The alloy layer has superior qualities for adhering to both the copper interconnect lines and a subsequently deposited dielectric material.
