    摘要: A semiconductor device is formed with low resistivity self aligned silicide contacts with high-K/metal gates. Embodiments include postponing silicidation of a metal layer on source/drain regions in a silicon substrate until deposition of a high-K dielectric, thereby preserving the physical and morphological properties of the silicide film and improving device performance. An embodiment includes forming a replaceable gate electrode on a silicon-containing substrate, forming source/drain regions, forming a metal layer on the source/drain regions, forming an ILD over the metal layer on the substrate, removing the replaceable gate electrode, thereby forming a cavity, depositing a high-K dielectric layer in the cavity at a temperature sufficient to initiate a silicidation reaction between the metal layer and underlying silicon, and forming a metal gate electrode on the high-K dielectric layer.

    摘要: Methods are provided for substantially preventing and filling overetched regions in a silicon oxide layer of a semiconductor substrate. The overetched regions may be formed as a result of overetching of the silicon oxide layer during etching of an overlying silicon-comprising material layer to form a silicon-comprising structure. An etch resistant spacer may be formed after the initial or subsequent overetches. The etch resistant spacer may be formed by depositing an etch resistant material into the overetched region and etching the deposited etch resistant material to leave residual etch resistant material forming the etch resistant spacer. The etch resistant spacer may also be formed by exposing the silicon oxide layer in the overetched region to a nitrogen-supplying material to form a silicon oxynitride etch resistant spacer.

    摘要: Semiconductor structures and methods for forming isolation between fin structures formed from a bulk silicon wafer are provided. A bulk silicon wafer is provided having one or more fin structures formed therefrom. Forming of the fin structures defines isolation trenches between the one or more fin structures. Each of the fin structures has vertical sidewalls. An oxide layer is deposited in the isolation trenches and on the vertical sidewalls using HPDCVD in about a 4:1 ratio or greater. The oxide layer is isotropically etched to remove the oxide layer from the vertical sidewalls and a portion of the oxide layer from the bottom of the isolation trenches. A substantially uniformly thick isolating oxide layer is formed on the bottom of the isolation trench to isolate the one or more fin structures and substantially reduce fin height variability.

    摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating Bulk FinFET devices having deep trench isolation. One or more deep isolation trenches are formed in a bulk silicon wafer. Mandrel-forming material is deposited overlying the bulk silicon wafer and dielectric pad layer thereon and simultaneously into the trench(es) as filler material. Mandrels are formed, overetching thereof creating a recess at the trench upper end. A conformal sidewall spacer material from which sidewall spacers are fabricated is deposited overlying the mandrels and into the recess forming a spacer overlying the filler material in the trench(es). Mandrels are removed using the spacer as an etch stop. Fin structures are formed from the bulk silicon wafer using the sidewall spacers as an etch mask. The mandrel-forming material is amorphous and/or polycrystalline silicon.

    摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating semiconductor structures with an etch resistant layer that reduces undercuts in a silicon oxide layer of a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is provided having the silicon oxide layer. The etch resistant layer is formed which uses at least a portion of the silicon oxide layer. A silicon-comprising material layer is formed overlying the etch resistant layer. The silicon-comprising material layer has an etch rate greater than an etch rate of the etch resistant layer when subjected to an etchant. The silicon-comprising material layer is etched with an etchant to form a fin structure on the silicon oxide layer. The etch resistant layer may be formed by ion implantation, diffusing nitrogen-supplying species into the silicon oxide layer, or forming an insulator material layer overlying the silicon oxide layer.
