摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to forming an airgap-based vertical field effect transistor (VFET) without structural collapse. A dielectric collar anchors the structure while forming the airgaps. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a vertical transistor is formed over a substrate. The vertical transistor can include a fin, a top spacer, a top source/drain (S/D) on the fin, and a contact on the top S/D. A dielectric layer is recessed below a top surface of the top spacer and a dielectric collar is formed on the recessed surface of the dielectric layer. Portions of the dielectric layer are removed to form a first cavity and a second cavity. A first airgap is formed in the first cavity and a second airgap is formed in the second cavity. The dielectric collar anchors the top S/D to the top spacer while forming the first airgap and the second airgap.

摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein describe methods of forming semiconductor devices. The methods may include etching vias and trenches in a middle-of-line (MOL) layer that has a low-k dielectric layer, a sacrificial nitride layer, and a hard mask layer. The methods may also include depositing a thin nitride layer within the via trench, depositing a carbon layer on the thin nitride layer within the vias and trenches, etching back the thin nitride layer to expose a portion of the hard mask layer, removing the hard mask layer and the carbon layer, and removing the thin nitride layer and the sacrificial nitride layer.

摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming conductive lines in the same include forming a cut region in a first dielectric layer, the cut region having a first width. A second dielectric plug is formed in the cut region. A mask is formed, over the first dielectric layer, that defines at least one trench region that crosses the second dielectric plug, with the at least one trench region having a second width that is smaller than the first width. Material from the first dielectric layer in the trench regions is etched away, using a selective anisotropic etch that leaves the second dielectric plug in place, to form trenches in the first dielectric layer. Conductive material is deposited in the trenches to form conductive lines that are separated by the second dielectric plug.
