    摘要: In a replacement gate approach for forming high-k metal gate electrodes in semiconductor devices, a tapered configuration of the gate openings may be accomplished by using a tensile stressed dielectric material provided laterally adjacent to the gate electrode structure. Consequently, superior deposition conditions may be achieved while the tensile stress component may be efficiently used for the strain engineering in one type of transistor. Furthermore, an additional compressively stressed dielectric material may be applied after providing the replacement gate electrode structures.

    摘要: During the manufacture of advanced metallization systems, a dielectric cap layer formed on a sensitive dielectric material may be partially maintained during a CMP process for removing excess metal, thereby avoiding the necessity for depositing a dedicated etch stop material, as may be required in conventional approaches when substantially completely consuming the dielectric cap material during the CMP process. Hence, reduced process complexity and/or enhanced flexibility may be accomplished in combination with increased integrity of the low-k dielectric material.

    摘要: In a manufacturing sequence for forming metallization levels of semiconductor devices, out-gassing of volatile components after an etch process may be initiated immediately after the etch process, thereby reducing the probability of creating contaminants in other substrates and transport carriers during transport activities. Consequently, the defect rate of deposition-related irregularities in the metallization level may be reduced.
