摘要:
A hard mask may be formed and maintained over a polysilicon gate structure in a metal gate replacement technology. The maintenance of the hard mask, such as a nitride hard mask, may protect the polysilicon gate structure 14 from the formation of silicide or etch byproducts. Either the silicide or the etch byproducts or their combination may block the ensuing polysilicon etch which is needed to remove the polysilicon gate structure and to thereafter replace it with an appropriate metal gate technology.

摘要:
A complementary metal oxide semiconductor integrated circuit may be formed with a PMOS device formed using a replacement metal gate and a raised source drain. The raised source drain may be formed of epitaxially deposited silicon germanium material that is doped p-type. The replacement metal gate process results in a metal gate electrode and may involve the removal of a nitride etch stop layer.

A method including forming a hard mask and an etch stop layer over a sacrificial material patterned as a gate electrode, wherein a material for the hard mask and a material for the etch stop layer are selected to have a similar stress property; removing the material for the hard mask and the material for the etch stop layer sufficient to expose the sacrificial material; replacing the sacrificial material with another material. A system including a computing device including a microprocessor, the microprocessor including a plurality of transistor devices, at least one of the plurality of transistor devices including a gate electrode formed on a substrate surface; a discontinuous etch stop layer conformally formed on the substrate surface and adjacent side wall surfaces of the gate electrode; and a dielectric material conformally formed over the etch stop layer.

Methods and associated structures of forming a microelectronic device are described. Those methods comprise providing a substrate comprising a first transistor structure comprising an n-type gate material and second transistor structure comprising a p-type gate material, selectively removing the n-type gate material to form a recess in the first gate structure, and then filling the recess with an n-type metal gate material.
