摘要:
Replacement metal gates may be formed by removing a polysilicon layer from a gate structure. The gate structure may be formed by patterning the polysilicon layer and depositing a spacer layer over the gate structure such that the spacer layer has a first polish rate. The spacer layer is then etched to form a sidewall spacer. An interlayer dielectric is applied over the gate structure with the sidewall spacer. The interlayer dielectric has a second polish rate higher than the first polish rate. A hard mask may also be applied over the gate structure and implanted so that the hard mask may be more readily removed.

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.

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.

摘要:
A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a first dielectric layer on a substrate, then forming a trench within the first dielectric layer. After forming a second dielectric layer on the substrate, a first metal layer is formed within the trench on a first part of the second dielectric layer. A second metal layer is then formed on the first metal layer and on a second part of the second dielectric layer.

A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a dielectric layer on a substrate, forming a trench within the dielectric layer, and forming a high-k gate dielectric layer within the trench. After forming a first metal layer on the high-k gate dielectric layer, a second metal layer is formed on the first metal layer. At least part of the second metal layer is removed from above the dielectric layer using a polishing step, and additional material is removed from above the dielectric layer using an etch step.
