A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include forming a fin structure on an insulator and depositing a gate material over the fin structure. The method may also include depositing an organic anti-reflective coating on the gate material and forming a gate mask on the organic anti-reflective coating. The organic anti-reflective coating around the gate mask may be removed, and the gate material around the gate mask may be removed to define a gate.

A method for forming a fin in a semiconductor device that includes a substrate, an insulating layer formed on the substrate, and a conductive layer formed on the insulating layer, includes forming a carbon layer over the conductive layer and forming a mask over the carbon layer. The method further includes etching the mask and carbon layer to form at least one structure, where the structure has a first width, reducing the width of the carbon layer in the at least one structure to a second width, depositing an oxide layer to surround the at least one structure, removing a portion of the oxide layer and the mask, removing the carbon layer to form an opening in a remaining portion of the oxide layer for each of the at least one structure, filling the at least one opening with conductive material, and removing the remaining portion of the oxide layer and a portion of the conductive layer to form the fin.
摘要:
A double-semiconductor device includes a substrate, an insulating layer, a fin and a gate. The insulating layer is formed on the substrate and the fin is formed on the insulating layer. The fin has a number of side surfaces, a top surface and a bottom surface. The gate is formed on the insulating layer and surrounds the top surface, bottom surface and the side surfaces of the fin in the channel region of the semiconductor device. Surrounding the fin with gate material results in an increased total channel width and more flexible device adjustment margins.

The invention provides a method of selecting an anti reflective layer thickness for patterning a thin film silicon gate layer over a high K dielectric layer. The method comprises selecting a trial anti reflective layer thickness. A first coherent illumination intensity reflected from an interface between the photoresist layer and the anti reflective layer is calculated at the lithography wavelength. A second coherent illumination intensity reflected from an interface between the anti reflective layer and the polysilicon layer is calculated at the lithography wavelength. And, a third coherent illumination intensity reflected from an interface between the polysilicon layer and the high K dielectric layer is calculated at the lithography wavelength. A total coherent illumination intensity that comprises the sum of the first coherent illumination intensity, the second coherent illumination intensity, and the third coherent illumination intensity is calculated and compared to a predetermined threshold. If below the threshold, the trail anti reflective layer thickness is selected as the anti reflective layer thickness.

The invention provides a method of small geometry gate formation on the surface of a high-K gate dielectric. The method provides for processing steps that include gate pattern trimming, gate stack etch, and removal of exposed regions of the high-K dielectric to be performed efficiently in a single etch chamber. As such, process complexity and processing costs are reduced while throughput and overall process efficiency is improved. The method includes fabricating a high-K gate dielectric etch stop dielectric layer on the surface of a silicon substrate to protect the silicon substrate from erosion during an etch step and to prove a gate dielectric. A polysilicon layer is fabricated above the high-K dielectric layer. An anti-reflective coating layer above the polysilicon layer, and a mask is fabricated above the anti-reflective coating layer to define a gate region and an erosion region. The sequence of etching steps discussed above are performed in-situ in an enclosed high density plasma etching chamber environment.
