摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device that includes providing a first stack of nanosheets having a first thickness and a second stack of nanosheets having a second thickness; and forming a oxide layer on the first and second stack of nanosheets. The oxide layer fills a space between said nanosheets in the first stack, and is conformally present on the nanosheets in the second stack. The method further includes forming a work function metal layer on the first and second stack of nanosheets. In some embodiments, the work function metal layer is present on only exterior surfaces of the first stack to provide a single gate structure and is conformally present about an entirety of the nanosheets in the second stack to provide a multiple gate structure.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses related to the deposition of a protective layer selective to an interlayer dielectric layer so that the protective layer is formed onto a top portion associated with the interlayer dielectric layer. In some embodiments, a method comprises: forming an interlayer dielectric layer on a substrate; covering a trench region with a metal liner, wherein the trench region is situated above the substrate and formed within the interlayer dielectric layer; and depositing a protective layer selective to the interlayer dielectric layer so that the protective layer is formed onto a top portion associated with the interlayer dielectric layer. In various embodiments, the depositing the protective layer comprises: repeatedly depositing the protective layer via a multi-deposition sequence; or depositing a self-assembled monolayer onto the top portion.

摘要: A method is presented for performing a gate cut in a field effect transistor (FET) structure. The method includes forming a plurality of fins and at least one insulating pillar over a semiconductor substrate, depositing a first work function metal layer, removing the first work function metal layer from a first set of fins, depositing a second work function metal layer, depositing a conductive material over the second work function metal layer, forming at least one gate trench through the conductive material and adjacent the first set of fins to separate active gate regions, and filling the at least one gate trench with an insulating material.

摘要: An overlay metrology system includes a multi-channel energy unit that selectively operates in a first mode to deliver first photons having a first wavelength to an object under test, and a second mode to deliver second photons to the object under test. The second photons have a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. The overlay metrology system further includes an electronic controller that selectively activates either the first mode or the second mode based at least in part on at least one characteristic of an object under test, and that generates the first protons or the second photons to detect at least one buried structure included in the object under test.

摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same include forming gate stacks across a semiconductor fin, each gate stack having a gate conductor. An interlayer dielectric is formed between the gate stacks. A protective layer is formed on the interlayer dielectric that leaves the gate stacks exposed. The gate conductor of at least one gate stack is etched away. A dielectric liner is formed in a gap left by the etched gate conductor.
