    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method and semiconductor device is described, including forming a plurality of gaps of variable size between device features, each of the gaps including vertical sidewalls perpendicular to a substrate surface and a horizontal surface parallel to the substrate surface. Spacer material is directionally deposited concurrently on the horizontal surface in each gap and in a flat area using a total flow rate of gaseous precursors that minimizes gap-loading in a smallest gap compared to the flat area such that the spacer material is deposited on the substrate surface in each gap and in the flat area to a uniform thickness.

    Abstract: A VFET device with a dual top spacer to prevent source/drain-to-gate short, and techniques for formation thereof are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming a VFET device includes: etching vertical fin channels in a substrate; forming a bottom source and drain in the substrate beneath the vertical fin channels; forming a bottom spacer on the bottom source and drain; depositing a gate dielectric and gate conductor onto the vertical fin channels; recessing the gate dielectric and gate conductor to expose tops of the vertical fin channels; selectively forming dielectric spacers on end portions of the gate dielectric and gate conductor adjacent to the tops of the vertical fin channels; depositing an encapsulation layer onto the vertical fin channels; recessing the encapsulation layer with the dielectric spacers serving as an etch stop; and forming top source and drains. A VFET device formed using the present techniques is also provided.

    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing semiconductor integrated circuits having a compressive nitride layer are disclosed. In one example, a method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes depositing an aluminum layer over a semiconductor substrate, depositing a tensile silicon nitride layer or a neutral silicon nitride layer over the aluminum layer, and depositing a compressive silicon nitride layer over the tensile silicon nitride layer or the neutral silicon nitride layer. The compressive silicon nitride layer is deposited at a thickness that is at least about twice a thickness of the tensile silicon nitride layer or the neutral silicon nitride layer. Further, there is no delamination present at an interface between the aluminum layer and the tensile silicon nitride layer or the neutral silicon nitride layer, or at an interface between tensile silicon nitride layer or the neutral silicon nitride layer and the compressive nitride layer.
