    摘要: A semiconductor device such as a FinFET includes a plurality of fins formed upon a substrate and a gate covering a portion of the fins. Diamond-shaped volumes are formed on the sidewalls of the fins by epitaxial growth which may be limited to avoid merging of the volumes or where the epitaxy volumes have merged. Because of the difficulties in managing merging of the diamond-shaped volumes, a controlled merger of the diamond-shaped volumes includes depositing an amorphous semiconductor material upon the diamond-shaped volumes and a crystallization process to crystallize the deposited semiconductor material on the diamond-shaped volumes to fabricate controllable and uniformly merged source drain.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming first and second semiconductor structures on a semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor structure includes a first gate channel region having a first gate length, and the second semiconductor structure including a second gate channel region having a second gate length that is greater than the first gate length. The method further includes depositing a work function metal layer in each of a first gate void formed at the first gate channel region and a second gate void formed at the second gate channel region. The method further includes depositing a semiconductor masking layer on the work function metal layer, and simultaneously etching the silicon masking layer located at the first and second gate channel regions to re-expose the first and second gate voids. A low-resistive metal is deposited in the first and second gate voids to form low-resistive metal gate stacks.

    摘要: Embodiments include methods of forming an nFET-tuned gate dielectric and a pFET-tuned gate dielectric. Methods may include forming a high-k layer above a substrate having a pFET region and an nFET region, forming a first sacrificial layer, a pFET work-function metal layer, and a second sacrificial layer above the first high-k layer in the pFET region, and an nFET work-function metal layer above the first high-k layer in the nFET region and above the second sacrificial layer in the pFET region. The first high-k layer then may be annealed to form an nFET gate dielectric layer in the nFET region and a pFET gate dielectric layer in the pFET region. The first high-k layer may be annealed in the presence of a nitrogen source to cause atoms from the nitrogen source to diffuse into the first high-k layer in the nFET region.
