摘要:
A dielectric layer is made porous by treating the dielectric material after metal interconnects are formed in or through that layer. The porosity lowers the dielectric constant of the dielectric material. The dielectric material may be subjected to an electron beam or a sonication bath to create the pores. The structure has smooth sidewalls for metal interconnects extending through the dielectric layer.

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.
