    摘要: Semiconductor structures, such as, for example, field effect transistors (FETs) and/or metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor (MOSCAPs), are provided in which the workfunction of a conductive electrode stack is changed by introducing metal impurities into a metal-containing material layer which, together with a conductive electrode, is present in the electrode stack. The choice of metal impurities depends on whether the electrode is to have an n-type workfunction or a p-type workfunction. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating such semiconductor structures. The introduction of metal impurities can be achieved by codeposition of a layer containing both a metal-containing material and workfunction altering metal impurities, forming a stack in which a layer of metal impurities is present between layers of a metal-containing material, or by forming a material layer including the metal impurities above and/or below a metal-containing material and then heating the structure so that the metal impurities are introduced into the metal-containing material.

    摘要: The present invention provides a metal stack structure that stabilizes the flatband voltage and threshold voltages of material stacks that include a Si-containing conductor and a Hf-based dielectric. This present invention stabilizes the flatband voltages and the threshold voltages by introducing a rare earth metal-containing layer into the material stack that introduces, via electronegativity differences, a shift in the threshold voltage to the desired voltage. Specifically, the present invention provides a metal stack comprising a hafnium-based dielectric; a rare earth metal-containing layer located atop of, or within, said hafnium-based dielectric; an electrically conductive capping layer located above said hafnium-based dielectric; and a Si-containing conductor.

    摘要: A disposable spacer is formed directly on or in close proximity to the sidewalls of a gate electrode and a gate dielectric. The disposable spacer comprises a material that scavenges oxygen such as a metal, a metal nitride, or a semiconductor material having high reactivity with oxygen. The disposable gate spacer absorbs any oxygen during subsequent high temperature processing such as a stress memorization anneal. A metal is deposited over, and reacted with, the gate electrode and source and drain regions to form metal semiconductor alloy regions. The disposable gate spacer is subsequently removed selective to the metal semiconductor alloy regions. A porous or non-porous low-k dielectric material is deposited to provide a low parasitic capacitance between the gate electrode and the source and drain regions. The gate dielectric maintains the original dielectric constant since the disposable gate spacer prevents absorption of additional oxygen during high temperature processes.

    摘要: A structure, apparatus and method for utilizing vertically interdigitated electrodes serves to increase the capacitor area surface while maintaining a minimal horizontal foot print. Since capacitance is proportional to the surface area the structure enables continual use of current dielectric materials such as Si3N4 at current thicknesses. In a second embodiment of the interdigitated MIMCAP structure the electrodes are formed in a spiral fashion which serves to increase the physical strength of the MIMCAP. Also included is a spiral shaped capacitor electrode which lends itself to modular design by offering a wide range of discrete capacitive values easily specified by the circuit designer.

    摘要: A method for forming a microelectronic structure uses a mask layer located over a target layer. The target layer may be etched while using the mask layer as an etch mask to form an end tapered target layer from the target layer. An additional target layer may be formed over the end tapered target layer and masked with an additional mask layer. The additional target layer may be etched to form a patterned additional target layer separated from the end tapered target layer and absent an additional target layer residue adjacent the end tapered target layer. The method is useful for fabricating CMOS structures including nFET and pFET gate electrodes comprising different NFET and pFET gate electrode materials.
