    摘要: Integrated circuits (ICs) commonly contain pre-metal dielectric (PMD) liners with compressive stress to increase electron and hole mobilities in MOS transistors. The increase is limited by the thickness of the PMD liner. The instant invention is a multi-layered PMD liner in an integrated circuit which has a higher stress than single layer PMD liners. Each layer in the inventive PMD liner is exposed to a nitrogen-containing plasma, and which has a compressive stress higher than 1300 MPa. The PMD liner of the instant invention is composed of 3 to 10 layers. The hydrogen content of the first layer may be increased to improve transistor properties such as flicker noise and Negative Bias Temperature Instabilty (NBTI). An IC containing the inventive PMD liner and a method for forming same are also claimed.

    摘要: An NMOS ESD clamping device and methods for making the same are disclosed in which the device includes N type drain and source regions formed in a semiconductor substrate and a gate overlying a P-type channel region in the substrate between the source and drain regions. A first silicide region is formed in the drain and/or the source region with a first thickness. A second thin silicide region is formed in the substrate between the gate and the drain having a second thickness less than the first thickness, wherein the thin silicide increases the ESD current clamping capability of the device to provide improved ESD circuit protection.
