摘要:
A semiconductor device having a silicon oxide/silicon nitride/silicon oxide (“ONO”) structure is formed by providing a first silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer over a substrate having a memory region and a logic device region; patterning the first silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer to define bottom oxide and silicon nitride portions of partially completed ONO stacks and to expose the substrate in the logic device regions; performing a rapid thermal annealing process in the presence of a radical oxidizing agent to form concurrently a second silicon oxide layer on the exposed surface of the silicon nitride layer and a gate oxide layer over the substrate; and depositing a conductive layer over the completed ONO stacks and the gate oxide. The invention is employed in manufacture of, for example, memory devices having and peripheral logic devices and memory cells including ONO structures. Exposing the patterned silicon nitride to the oxygen radical during the RTO according to the invention significantly reduces the processing time, and reduces the thermal budget. Moreover, because according to the invention the upper surface and the sidewalls of the silicon nitride layer are covered by the top oxide layer, the silicon nitride is not exposed during a subsequent cleaning process. As a result of increased contact area between the polysilicon gate and the top oxide layer, the coupling ratio of the gate is increased.

A PMOS (p-channel metal oxide semiconductor) device having at low voltage threshold MOSFET (MOS field effect transistor) with an improved work function and favorable DIBL (drain-induced barrier lowering) and SCE (short channel effect) characteristics, and a method for making such a device. The PMOS device includes a gate structure that is disposed on a substrate and includes a silicided gate electrode. The silicide is preferably nickel-rich and includes a peak platinum concentration at or near the interface between the gate electrode and a dielectric layer that separates the gate electrode from the substrate. The platinum peak region is produced by a multi-step rapid thermal annealing or similar process. The PMOS device may also include two such MOSFETs, one of which is boron-doped and one of which is not.

A MOS transistor having a highly stressed channel region and a method for forming the same are provided. The method includes forming a first semiconductor plate over a semiconductor substrate, forming a second semiconductor plate on the first semiconductor plate wherein the first semiconductor plate has a substantially greater lattice constant than the second semiconductor plate, and forming a gate stack over the first and the second semiconductor plates. The first and the second semiconductor plates include extensions extending substantially beyond side edges of the gate stack. The method further includes forming a silicon-containing layer on the semiconductor substrate, preferably spaced apart from the first and the second semiconductor plates, forming a spacer, a LDD region and a source/drain region, and forming a silicide region and a contact etch stop layer. A high stress is developed in the channel region. Current crowding effects are reduced due to the raised silicide region.
