    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a metal gate pattern is provided in which capping layers are used to control the relative oxidation rates of portions of the metal gate pattern during a oxidation process. The capping layer may be a multilayer structure and may be etched to form insulating spacers on the sidewalls of the metal gate pattern. The capping layer(s) allow the use of a selective oxidation process, which may be a wet oxidation process utilizing partial pressures of both H2O and H2 in an H2-rich atmosphere, to oxidize portions of the substrate and metal gate pattern while suppressing the oxidation of metal layers that may be included in the metal gate pattern. This allows etch damage to the silicon substrate and edges of the metal gate pattern to be reduced while substantially maintaining the original thickness of the gate insulating layer and the conductivity of the metal layer(s).

    摘要: Methods of forming semiconductor devices and the devices so formed include forming an oxidation barrier pattern to cover sidewalls of a metal-containing pattern. The metal-containing pattern is located on a gate polysilicon layer and includes a metal silicide pattern, a metal barrier pattern and a gate metal pattern which are sequentially stacked. An oxide layer is not formed between the metal barrier pattern and the gate polysilicon pattern. Furthermore, a metal silicide pattern located between the metal barrier pattern and the gate polysilicon pattern functions not only as an ohmic layer decreasing a contact resistance between the metal barrier pattern and the gate polysilicon pattern but also as an oxidation barrier to prevent a metal such as tungsten from being oxidized. Therefore, semiconductor devices have improved operational speed and/or reliability.

    摘要: In a method for forming a gate in a semiconductor device, a first preliminary gate structure is formed on a substrate. The first preliminary gate structure includes a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon layer pattern and a tungsten layer pattern sequentially stacked on the substrate. A primary oxidation process is performed using oxygen radicals at a first temperature for adjusting a thickness of the gate oxide layer to form a second preliminary gate structure having tungsten oxide. The tungsten oxide is reduced to a tungsten material using a gas containing hydrogen to form a gate structure. The tungsten oxide may not be formed on the gate structure so that generation of the whiskers may be suppressed. Thus, a short between adjacent wirings may not be generated.
