    摘要: High quality dielectric layers, e.g., high-k dielectric layers comprised of at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal oxide or silicate, for use as gate insulator layers in in-laid metal gate MOS transistors and CMOS devices, are formed by electrolytically plating a metal or metal-based dielectric precursor layer comprising at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal, on a semiconductor substrate, typically a silicon-based substrate, and then reacting the precursor layer with oxygen or with oxygen and the semiconductor substrate to form the at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal oxide or silicate. The inventive methodology prevents, or at least substantially reduces, oxygen access to the substrate surface during at least the initial stage(s) of formation of the gate insulator layer, thereby minimizing deleterious formation of oxygen-induced surface states at the semiconductor substrate/gate insulator interface.

    摘要: A method for implementing a self-aligned metal silicide gate is achieved by confining amorphous silicon within a recess overlying a channel and annealing to cause the amorphous silicon with its overlying metal to interact to form the self-aligned metal silicide gate. A gate dielectric layer formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack is formed on the bottom and sidewalls of the recess prior to depositing the silicon. The silicon is removed except for the portion of the silicon in the recess. The remaining portions of the metal are removed by manipulating the etch selectivity between the metal and the self-aligned metal silicide gate.

    摘要: A method for implementing a self-aligned low temperature metal silicide gate is achieved by confining amorphous silicon within a recess overlying a channel and annealing to cause the amorphous silicon with its overlying low temperature silicidation metal to interact to form the self-aligned low temperature metal silicide gate. A precursor having a temporary gate is used to form the self-aligned low temperature silicide gate. The remaining portions of the low temperature silicidation metal is removed by manipulating the etch selectivity between the low temperature silicidation metal and the self-aligned low temperature metal silicide gate.

    摘要: High quality dielectric layers, e.g., high-k dielectric layers comprised of at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal oxide or silicate, for use as gate insulator layers in in-laid metal gate MOS transistors and CMOS devices, are fabricated by forming an ultra-thin catalytic metal layer, e.g., a monolayer thick layer of Pd or Pd, on a Si-based semiconductor substrate, electrolessly plating on the catalytic layer comprising at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal or metal-based dielectric precursor layer, such as of Zr and/or Hf, and then reacting the precursor layer with oxygen or with oxygen and the semiconductor substrate to form the at least one high-k metal oxide or silicate. The inventive methodology prevents, or at least substantially reduces, oxygen access to the substrate surface during at least the initial stage(s) of formation of the gate insulator layer, thereby minimizing deleterious formation of oxygen-induced surface states at the semiconductor substrate/gate insulator interface.
