A method of an aspect includes forming a first thicker layer of a first material over a first region having a first surface material by separately forming each of a first plurality of thinner layers by selective chemical reaction. The method also includes limiting encroachment of each of the first plurality of thinner layers over a second region that is adjacent to the first region. A second thicker layer of a second material is formed over the second region having a second surface material that is different than the first surface material.

Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a Ge substrate. A passivation layer may be formed above the Ge substrate, where the passivation layer may include one or more molecular monolayers with atoms of one or more group 15 elements or group 16 elements. In addition, a low-k interlayer may be above the passivation layer, and a high-k interlayer may be above the low-k interlayer. Furthermore, a metal contact may be above the high-k interlayer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Techniques related to forming selective gate spacers for semiconductor devices and transistor structures and devices formed using such techniques are discussed. Such techniques include forming a blocking material on a semiconductor fin, disposing a gate having a different surface chemistry than the blocking material on a portion of the blocking material, forming a selective conformal layer on the gate but not on a portion of the blocking material, and removing exposed portions of the blocking material.

摘要:
Methods of selectively depositing high-K gate dielectric on a semiconductor structure are disclosed. The method includes providing a semiconductor structure disposed above a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor structure is disposed beside an isolation sidewall. A sacrificial blocking layer is then selectively deposited on the isolation sidewall and not on the semiconductor structure. Thereafter, a high-K gate dielectric is deposited on the semiconductor structure, but not on the sacrificial blocking layer. Properties of the sacrificial blocking layer prevent deposition of oxide material on its surface. A thermal treatment is then performed to remove the sacrificial blocking layer, thereby forming a high-K gate dielectric only on the semiconductor structure.
摘要:
Transition metal dry etch by atomic layer removal of oxide layers for device fabrication, and the resulting devices, are described. In an example, a method of etching a film includes reacting a surface layer of a transition metal species of a transition metal-containing film with a molecular oxidant species. The method also includes removing volatile fragments of the reacted molecular oxidant species to provide an oxidized surface layer of the transition metal species. The method also includes reacting the oxidized surface layer of the transition metal species with a molecular etchant. The method also includes removing the reacted oxidized surface layer of the transition metal species and the reacted molecular etchant by volatlilization.
摘要:
Precursor and process design for photo-assisted metal atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is described. In an example, a method of fabricating a thin metal film involves introducing precursor molecules proximate to a surface on or above a substrate, each of the precursor molecules having one or more metal centers surrounded by ligands. The method also involves depositing a metal layer on the surface by dissociating the ligands from the precursor molecules using a photo-assisted process.
