    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: 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 silicide layers on a gate electrode and source/drain regions along silicon nitride sidewall spacers is prevented, after silicidation and removal of any unreacted nickel, by treating the exposed surfaces of the silicon nitride sidewall spacers with a HDP plasma to oxidize nickel silicide thereon forming a surface layer comprising silicoin oxide and silicon oxynitride. Embodiments include treating the silicon nitride sidewall spacers with a HDP plasma to form a surface silicon oxide/silicon oxynitride region having a thickness of about 40 Å to about 50 Å.

    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.
