    摘要: A semiconductor structure having a pore sealed portion of a dielectric layer is provided. Exposed pores of the dielectric material are sealed using an anisotropic plasma so that pores along the bottom of the opening are sealed, and pores along sidewalls of the opening remain relatively untreated by the plasma. Thereafter, one or more barrier layers may be formed and the opening may be filled with a conductive material. The barrier layers formed over the sealing layer exhibits a more continuous barrier layer. The pores may be partially or completely sealed by plasma bombardment or ion implantation using a gas selected from one of O2, an O2/N2 mixture, H2O, or combinations thereof.

    摘要: Low dielectric constant dielectric films having a high degree of porosity suffer from poor mechanical strength and can be damaged during processing steps. Damage can be substantially eliminated or minimized by stuffing the pores of the dielectric film with a material that substantially fills the pores. The stuffing material should have low surface tension and viscosity to provide good wetting. Alternatively, the stuffing material can be dissolved in a wetting carrier fluid, such as supercritical carbon dioxide and the like.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a channel region; a gate dielectric over the channel region; a gate electrode over the gate dielectric; and a first source/drain region adjacent the gate dielectric. The first source/drain region is of a first conductivity type. At least one of the channel region and the first source/drain region includes a superlattice structure. The semiconductor device further includes a second source/drain region on an opposite side of the channel region than the first source/drain region. The second source/drain region is of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type. At most, one of the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region comprises an additional superlattice structure.
