    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
