A semiconductor interconnect structure includes an organic and/or photosensitive etch buffer layer disposed over a contact surface. The structure further provides an interlevel dielectric formed over the etch buffer layer. A method for forming an interconnect structure includes etching to form an opening in the interlevel dielectric, the etching operation being terminated at or above the etch buffer layer. The etch buffer layer is removed to expose the contact surface using a removal process that may include wet etching, ashing or DUV exposure followed by developing or other techniques that do not result in damage to contact surface. The contact surface may be a conductive material such as silicide, salicide or a metal alloy.

Methods and structures for forming a contact hole structure are disclosed. These methods first form a substantially silicon-free material layer over a substrate. A material layer is formed over the substantially silicon-free material layer. A contact hole is formed within the substantially silicon-free material layer and the material layer without substantially damaging the substrate. In addition, a conductive layer is formed in the contact hole so as to form a contact structure.

A semiconductor device provides a gate structure that includes a conductive portion and a high-k dielectric material formed beneath and along sides of the conductive material. An additional gate dielectric material such as a gate oxide may be used in addition to the high-k dielectric material. The method for forming the structure includes forming an opening in an organic material, forming the high-k dielectric material and a conductive material within the opening and over the organic material then using chemical mechanical polishing to remove the high-k dielectric material and conductive material from regions outside the gate region.

摘要:
A method of forming an opening on a low-k dielectric layer using a polysilicon hard mask rather than a metal hard mask as used in prior art. A polysilicon hard mask is formed over a low-k dielectric layer and a photoresist layer is formed over the polysilicon hard mask. The photoresist layer is patterned and the polysilicon hard mask is etched with a gas plasma to create exposed portions of the low-k dielectric layer. The photoresist layer in stripped prior to the etching of the exposed portions of the low-k dielectric layer to avoid damage to the low-k dielectric layer.
