摘要:
An integrated circuit chip includes a buffer layer, an underlying layer, a dielectric layer, a hole, and barrier layer. The buffer layer is over the underlying layer. The dielectric layer is over the buffer layer. The hole is formed in and extending through the dielectric layer and the buffer layer, and opens to the underlying layer. The hole includes a buffer layer portion at the buffer layer and a dielectric layer portion at the dielectric layer. At least part of the buffer layer portion of the hole has a larger cross-section area than a smallest cross-section area of the dielectric layer portion of the hole. The conformal barrier layer covers surfaces of the dielectric layer and the buffer layer in the hole. The hole is a via hole or a contact hole that is later filled with a conductive material to form a conductive via or a conductive contact.

A field effect transistor gate structure and a method of fabricating the gate structure with a high-k gate dielectric material and high-k spacer are described. A gate pattern or trench is first etched in a dummy organic or inorganic film deposited over a silicon substrate with source/drain regions. A high-k dielectric material liner is then deposited on all exposed surfaces. Excess poly-silicon gate conductor film is then deposited within and over the trench to provide adequate overburden. Poly-silicon is then planarized with chemical mechanical polishing or etch-back methods such that the high-k material film on top of the dummy film surface is removed during this step. In the final step, the dummy film is disposed off, leaving the final transistor gate structure with high-k gate dielectric and high-k spacer surrounding the gate conductor poly-silicon, with the entire gate structure fabricated to form an FET device on a silicon substrate.

The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device that includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure disposed on a portion of the substrate, and strained structures disposed at either side of the portion of the substrate and formed of a semiconductor material different from the semiconductor substrate. The portion of the substrate is T shaped having a horizontal region and a vertical region that extends from the horizontal region in a direction away from a surface of the substrate.

A method for forming a high performance strained source-drain structure includes forming a gate structure on a substrate and forming a pocket implant region proximate to the gate structure. Spacers are formed adjacent to the gate structure. A dry etch forms a recess with a first contour; a wet etch enlarge the recess to a second contour; and a thermal etch enlarges the recess to a third contour. The source-drain structure is then formed in the recess having the third contour.

An integrated circuit device and method for manufacturing the integrated circuit device is disclosed. The disclosed method provides improved control over a surface proximity and tip depth of integrated circuit device. In an embodiment, the method achieves improved control by forming a doped region and a lightly doped source and drain (LDD) region in a source and drain region of the device. The doped region is implanted with a dopant type opposite the LDD region.

An integrated circuit device and method for manufacturing the integrated circuit device is disclosed. The disclosed method provides improved control over a surface proximity and tip depth of integrated circuit device. In an embodiment, the method achieves improved control by forming a lightly doped source and drain (LDD) region that acts as an etch stop. The LDD region may act as an etch stop during an etching process implemented to form a recess in the substrate that defines a source and drain region of the device.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided comprising the steps of: (a) forming a semiconductor element on a substrate, the semiconductor element having at least one nickel silicide contact region, a first etch stop layer formed over the element and an insulating layer formed over the first etch stop layer; (b) forming an opening through the insulating layer over the contact region at least to the first etch stop layer; (c) removing a portion of the first etch stop layer contacting a selected contact region using a process that does not substantially oxidize with the contact region, to form a contact opening to the contact region; and (d) filling the contact opening with conductive material to form a contact.
摘要:
An integrated advanced method for forming a semiconductor device utilizes a sacrificial stress layer as part of a film stack that enables spatially selective silicide formation in the device. The low-resistance portion of the device to be silicided includes NMOS transistors and PMOS transistors. The stressed film may be a tensile or compressive nitride film. An annealing process is carried out prior to the silicide formation process. During the annealing process, the stressed nitride film preferentially remains over either the NMOS transistors or PMOS transistors, but not both, to optimize device performance. A tensile nitride film remains over the NMOS transistors but not the PMOS transistors while a compressive nitride film remains over the PMOS transistors but not the NMOS transistors, during anneal.
