    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.

    摘要: A method of forming a contact in a semiconductor device provides a titanium contact layer in a contact hole and a MOCVD-TiN barrier metal layer on the titanium contact layer. Impurities are removed from the MOCVD-TiN barrier metal layer by a plasma treatment in a nitrogen-hydrogen plasma. The time period for plasma treating the titanium nitride layer is controlled so that penetration of nitrogen into the underlying titanium contact layer is substantially prevented, preserving the titanium contact layer for subsequently forming a titanium silicide at the bottom of the contact.

    摘要: A semiconductor component having a titanium silicide contact structure and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor component. A layer of dielectric material is formed over a semiconductor substrate. An opening having sidewalls is formed in the dielectric layer and exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate. Titanium silicide is disposed on the dielectric layer, sidewalls, and the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate. The titanium silicide may be formed by disposing titanium on the dielectric layer, sidewalls, and exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate and reacting the titanium with silane. Alternatively, the titanium silicide may be sputter deposited. A layer of titanium nitride is formed on the titanium silicide. A layer of tungsten is formed on the titanium nitride. The tungsten, titanium nitride, and titanium silicide are polished to form the contact structures.

    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: A method for forming a semiconductor structure having a metal gate with a controlled work function includes the step of forming a precursor having a substrate with active regions separated by a channel, a temporary gate over the channel and within a dielectric layer. The temporary gate is removed to form a recess with a bottom and sidewalls in the dielectric layer. A non-silicon containing metal layer is deposited in the recess. Silicon is incorporated into the metal layer and a metal is deposited on the metal layer. The incorporation of the silicon is achieved by silane treatments that are performed before, after or both before and after the depositing of the metal layer. The amount of silicon incorporated into the metal layer controls the work function of the metal gate that is formed.
