    摘要: Micro-miniaturized semiconductor devices are fabricated with silicon-rich tantalum silicon nitride replacement metal gate electrodes. Embodiments include removing a removable gate, depositing a layer of tantalum nitride, as by PVD at a thickness of 25 Å to 75 Å, and then introducing silicon into the deposited tantalum nitride layer by thermal soaking in silane or silane plasma treatment to form a layer of silicon-rich tantalum silicon nitride. In another embodiment, the intermediate structure is subjected to thermal soaking in silane or silane plasma treatment before and after depositing the tantalum nitride layer. Embodiments further include pretreating the intermediate structure with silane prior to depositing the tantalum nitride layer, treating the deposited tantalum nitride layer with silane, and repeating these steps a number of times to form a plurality of sub-layers of silicon-rich tantalum silicon nitride.

    摘要: Bridging between nickel suicide layers on a gate electrode and source/drain regions along silicon nitride sidewall spacers is prevented by treating the exposed surfaces of the silicon nitride sidewall spacers with a nitrogen plasma to create a surface region having reduced free silicon. Embodiments include treating the silicon nitride sidewall spacers with a nitrogen plasma to reduce the refractive index of the surface region to less than about 1.95.

    摘要: Bridging between nickel silicide layers on a gate electrode and source/drain regions along silicon nitride sidewall spacers is prevented by employing composite silicon nitride sidewall spacers comprising an outer layer having reduced free silicon.

    摘要: Salicide processing is implemented with nitrogen-rich silicon nitride sidewall spacers that allow a metal silicide layer e.g., NiSi, to be formed over the polysilicon gate electrode and source/drain regions using salicide technology without associated bridging between the metal silicide layer on the gate electrode and the metal silicide layers over the source/drain regions. Bridging between a metal silicide e.g., nickel silicide, layer on a gate electrode and metal silicide layers on associated source/drain regions is avoided by forming nitrogen-rich silicon nitride sidewall spacers with increased nitrogen, thereby eliminating free Si available to react with the metal subsequently deposited and thus avoiding the formation of metal silicide on the sidewall spacers.

Embodiments include forming an opening in a dielectric layer by removing a removable gate, depositing a thin tantalum film, as by PVD at a thickness of 25 Å to 60 Å lining the opening, and then conducting thermal oxidation, as at a temperature of 100° C. to 500° C., in flowing oxygen or ozone to form a high-k tantalum oxide gate dielectric layer, or in oxygen and N2O or ozone and N2O ammonia to form a high-k tantalum oxynitride gate dielectric. Alternatively, oxidation can be conducted in an oxygen or ozone plasma to form the high-k tantalum oxide layer, or in a plasma containing N2O and oxygen or ozone to form the high-k tantalum oxynitride gate dielectric layer.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor component that inhibits formation of wormholes in a semiconductor substrate. A contact opening is formed in a dielectric layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate. The contact opening exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate. A sacrificial layer of oxide is formed on the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate and along the sidewalls of the contact opening. Silane is reacted with tungsten hexafluoride to form a hydrofluoric acid vapor and tungsten. The hydrofluoric acid vapor etches away the sacrificial oxide layer and a thin layer of tungsten is formed on the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate. After forming the thin layer of tungsten, the reactants may be changed to more quickly fill the contact opening with tungsten.
