摘要:
A method (and semiconductor device) of fabricating a semiconductor device provides a field effect transistor (FET) with reduced gate contact resistance (and series resistance) for improved device performance. An impurity is implanted or deposited in the gate stack in an impurity region between the metal gate electrode and the gate contact layer. An anneal process is performed that converts the impurity region into a segregation layer which lowers the schottky barrier height (SBH) of the interface between the metal gate electrode (e.g., silicide) and gate contact layer (e.g., amorphous silicon). This results in lower gate contact resistance and effectively lowers the device's AC Reff.

An LDMOS is formed with a field plate over the n− drift region, coplanar with the gate stack, and having a higher work function than the gate stack. Embodiments include forming a first conductivity type well, having a source, surrounded by a second conductivity type well, having a drain, in a substrate, forming first and second coplanar gate stacks on the substrate over a portion of the first well and a portion of the second well, respectively, and tuning the work functions of the first and second gate stacks to obtain a higher work function for the second gate stack. Other embodiments include forming the first gate stack of a high-k metal gate and the second gate stack of a field plate on a gate oxide layer, forming the first and second gate stacks with different gate electrode materials on a common gate oxide, and forming the gate stacks separated from each other and with different gate dielectric materials.

A fin type transistor includes a dielectric layer on a substrate surface which serves to isolate the gate of the transistor from the substrate. The dielectric layer includes a non-selectively etched surface to produce top portions of fin structures which have reduced height variations across the wafer. The fin type transistor may also include a buried stressor and/or raised or embedded raised S/D stressors to cause a strain in the channel to improve carrier mobility.

A method (and semiconductor device) of fabricating a semiconductor device provides a filed effect transistor (FET) with reduced contact resistance (and series resistance) for improved device performance. An impurity is implanted in the source/drain (S/D) regions after contact silicide formation and a spike anneal process is performed that lowers the schottky barrier height (SBH) of the interface between the silicide and the lower junction region of the S/D regions. This results in lower contact resistance and reduces the thickness (and Rs) of the region at the silicide-semiconductor interface.

A non-volatile memory device (and method of manufacture) is disclosed and structured to enable a write operation using an ionization impact process in a first portion of the device and a read operation using a tunneling process in a second portion of the device. The non-volatile memory device (1) increases hot carrier injection efficiency, (2) decreases power consumption, and (3) enables voltage and device scaling in the non-volatile memory devices.

An LDMOS is formed with a second gate stack over the n− drift region, having a common gate electrode with the gate stack, and having a higher work function than the gate stack. Embodiments include forming a first conductivity type well, having a source, surrounded by a second conductivity type well, having a drain, in a substrate, forming first and second gate stacks on the substrate over a portion of the first well and a portion of the second well, respectively, the first and second gate stacks sharing a common gate electrode, and tuning the work functions of the first and second gate stacks to obtain a higher work function for the second gate stack. Other embodiments include forming the first gate stack with a first high-k dielectric and the second gate stack with a second high-k dielectric, and forming the first and second gate stacks with asymmetric dielectrics.
