摘要:
Metal wiring structures for integrated circuits include a seed layer formed on an integrated circuit substrate and a wetting layer formed on the seed layer opposite the integrated circuit substrate. A metal wiring layer is formed on the wetting layer opposite the seed layer. The seed layer and the metal wiring layer have the same crystal orientation. In a preferred embodiment, the seed layer is an aluminum layer having (111) crystal orientation and the metal wiring layer includes aluminum having (111) crystal orientation. The metal wiring layer may be aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The wetting layer preferably includes titanium.
摘要:
A MOS transistor employing a titanium-carbon-nitride (TiCN) gate electrode is provided. The MOS transistor has a gate insulating film, a gate electrode, and a source/drain region on a semiconductor substrate. The gate electrode is formed of a single TiCN film or a double film having a TiCN film and a low-resistant metal film formed thereon. The TiCN gate electrode exhibits a low resistance of about 80-100 .mu..OMEGA.-cm and can control variations in Fermi energy level.
