    摘要: A method for fabricating metal gate and polysilicon gate FET devices on the same chip is disclosed. The method avoids the use of two separate masks during gate stack fabrication of the differing gates. By using a single mask, tighter NFET to PFET distances can be achieved, and the fabrication process is simplified. After blanket disposing layers for the fabrication of the metal gate stack, a covering protective material layer is formed, again in blanket fashion. A block level mask is used to clear the surface for the gate insulator formation in the poly gate device regions. During oxidation, which forms the gate dielectric for the poly gate devices, the protective material prevents damage of the metal gate device regions. Following oxidation, a single common polysilicon cover is disposed in blanket manner for continuing the fabrication of the gate stacks. The protective material is selected in such a way to be either easily removable upon oxidation, or to be conductive upon oxidation. In this latter case the oxidized protective material is incorporated into the metal gate stack, which incorporation results in a novel CMOS structure.

    摘要: CMOS circuit structures are disclosed with the PFET and NFET devices having high-k dielectric layers consisting of the same gate insulator material, and metal gate layers consisting of the same gate metal material. The PFET device has a “p” interface control layer which is capable of shifting the effective-workfunction of the gate in the p-direction. In a representative embodiment of the invention the “p” interface control layer is aluminum oxide. The NFET device may have an “n” interface control layer. The materials of the “p” and “n” interface control layers are differing materials. The “p” and “n” interface control layers are positioned to the opposite sides of their corresponding high-k dielectric layers. Methods for fabricating the CMOS circuit structures with the oppositely positioned “p” and “n” interface control layers are also disclosed.

    摘要: A disposable spacer is formed directly on or in close proximity to the sidewalls of a gate electrode and a gate dielectric. The disposable spacer comprises a material that scavenges oxygen such as a metal, a metal nitride, or a semiconductor material having high reactivity with oxygen. The disposable gate spacer absorbs any oxygen during subsequent high temperature processing such as a stress memorization anneal. A metal is deposited over, and reacted with, the gate electrode and source and drain regions to form metal semiconductor alloy regions. The disposable gate spacer is subsequently removed selective to the metal semiconductor alloy regions. A porous or non-porous low-k dielectric material is deposited to provide a low parasitic capacitance between the gate electrode and the source and drain regions. The gate dielectric maintains the original dielectric constant since the disposable gate spacer prevents absorption of additional oxygen during high temperature processes.

    摘要: Methods of forming air gaps or porous dielectric materials between interconnects of integrated circuits and structures thereof. Air gaps or highly porous dielectric material having a dielectric constant of close to or equal to 1.0 are formed in a first region but not a second region of an interconnect layer. The air gaps or highly porous dielectric material are formed by depositing a first insulating material comprising an energy-sensitive material over a workpiece, depositing a second insulating material over the first insulating material, and exposing the workpiece to energy. At least a portion of the first insulating material in the first region is removed through the second insulating material. Structurally stable insulating material is disposed between conductive lines in the second region of the workpiece, providing mechanical strength for the integrated circuit.

    摘要: A method of forming collar isolation for a trench storage memory cell structure is provided in which amorphous Si (a:Si) and silicon germanium (SiGe) are first formed into a trench structure. An etching process that is selective to a:Si as compared to SiGe is employed in defining the regions in which the collar isolation will be formed. The selective etching process employed in the present invention is a wet etch process that includes etching with HF, rinsing, etching with NH4OH, rinsing, and drying with a monohydric alcohol such as isopropanol. The sequence of NH4OH etching and rinsing may be repeated any number of times. The conditions used in the selective etching process of the present invention are capable of etching a:Si at a faster rate than SiGe.
