    摘要: Salicide processing is implemented with silicon nitride sidewall spacers by initially depositing a refractory metal, e.g., Ni, in the presence of nitrogen to form a metal nitride layer to prevent the reaction of the deposited metal with free Si in silicon nitride sidewall spacers, thereby avoiding bridging between the metal silicide layer on the gate electrode and the metal silicide layers on the source/drain regions of a semiconductor device.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) utilizes a shallow trench isolation (STI) technique. The shallow trench isolation technique is used in strained silicon (SMOS) process. The liner for the trench is formed to in a low temperature process which reduces germanium outgassing. The low temperature process can be a UVO, ALD, CVD, PECVD, or HDP process.

    摘要: High quality dielectric layers, e.g., high-k dielectric layers comprised of at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal oxide or silicate, for use as gate insulator layers in in-laid metal gate MOS transistors and CMOS devices, are formed by electrolessly plating a metal or metal-based dielectric precursor layer comprising at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal, such as of Zr and/or Hf, on a silicon-based semiconductor substrate and then reacting the precursor layer with oxygen or with oxygen and the Si-based semiconductor substrate to form the at least one metal oxide or silicate. The inventive methodology prevents, or at least substantially reduces, oxygen access to the substrate surface during at least the initial stage(s) of formation of the gate insulator layer, thereby minimizing deleterious formation of oxygen-induced surface states at the semiconductor substrate/gate insulator interface.
