    摘要: An embodiment is a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure comprises an epitaxial region, a gate structure, a contact spacer, and an etch stop layer. The epitaxial region is in a substrate. A top surface of the epitaxial region is elevated from a top surface of the substrate, and the epitaxial region has a facet between the top surface of the substrate and the top surface of the epitaxial region. The gate structure is on the substrate. The contact spacer is laterally between the facet of the epitaxial region and the gate structure. The etch stop layer is over and adjoins each of the contact spacer and the top surface of the epitaxial region. A ratio of an etch selectivity of the contact spacer to an etch selectivity of the etch stop layer is equal to or less than 3:1.

    摘要: A method includes forming a polysilicon layer over a substrate, forming a hard mask over the polysilicon layer, and doping a first portion of the hard mask with a dopant to form a doped hard mask region, wherein a second portion of the hard mask is not doped with the dopant. An etching step is performed to etch the first and the second portions of the hard mask, wherein the second portion of the hard mask is removed, and wherein at least a bottom portion of the doped hard mask region is not removed. After the etching step, the bottom portion of the doped hard mask region is removed. Electrical connections are formed to connect to a portion of the polysilicon layer in order to form a resistor.

    摘要: A composite dielectric layer including a tensile stressed nitride layer over an oxide layer serves the dual function of acting as an SMT (stress memorization technique) film while an annealing operation is carried out and then remains partially intact as it is patterned to further serve as an RPO film during a subsequent silicidation process. The composite dielectric layer covers part of a semiconductor substrate that includes a gate structure. The tensile stressed nitride layer protects the oxide layer and alleviates oxide damage during a pre-silicidation PAI (pre-amorphization implant) process. Portions of the gate structure and the semiconductor substrate not covered by the composite dielectric layer include amorphous portions that include the PAI implanted dopant impurities. A silicide material is disposed on the gate structure and portions of the semiconductor substrate not covered by the composite dielectric layer.

    摘要: The disclosure provides methods and structures for preventing exposing polysilicon layer and silicon substrate on the substrate backside to polysilicon etching chemistry during removal of the dummy polysilicon layer in replacement gate structures. A thermal deposition process or processes are used to deposit a dielectric layer for offset spacers and/or a contact etch stop layer (CESL) to cover the polysilicon layer on the substrate backside. Such mechanisms reduce or eliminate particles originated at bevel of substrate backside, due to complete removal of the polysilicon layer at the backside bevel and the resultant etching of silicon substrate.
