    摘要: An N channel transistor and a P channel transistor have their source/drains contacts with different suicides to provide for low resistance contacts. The silicides are chosen to provide good matching of the work functions. The P-type source/drain contacts of the P channel transistors have a silicide that is close to the P work function of 5.2 electron volts, and the N-type source/drain contacts of the N channel transistors have a silicide that is close to the N work function of 4.1 electron volts. This provides for a lower resistance at the interface between these source/drain contact regions and the corresponding silicide. These suicides with differing work functions are achieved with implants as needed. For example, for N-type source/drain contacts and a base metal of cobalt, titanium, or nickel, the implanted material is platinum and/or iridium. For the P-type, the implanted material is erbium, yttrium, dysprosium, gadolinium, hafnium, or holmium.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication process includes patterning a first gate electrode layer overlying a gate dielectric. A second gate electrode layer is formed overlying the first gate electrode layer and the gate dielectric. Portions of the second gate electrode layer overlying the first gate electrode layer are removed until the first and second gate electrode layers have the same thickness. A third gate electrode layer may be formed overlying the first and second gate electrode layers. The first gate electrode layer may comprise TiN and reside primarily overlying PMOS regions while the second gate electrode layer may comprise TaC or TaSiN and primarily overlie NMOS regions. Removing portions of the second gate electrode layer may include performing a chemical mechanical process (CMP) without masking the second gate electrode layer or forming a resist mask and etching exposed portions of the second gate electrode layer.

    摘要: One embodiment forms a gate dielectric layer over a substrate and then selectively deposits a first metal layer over portions of the gate dielectric layer in which a first device type will be formed. A second metal layer, different from the first metal layer, is formed over exposed portions of the gate dielectric layer in which a second device type will be formed. Each of the first and second device types will have different work functions because each will include a different metal in direct contact with the gate dielectric. In one embodiment, the selective deposition of the first metal layer is performed by ALD and with the use of an inhibitor layer which is selectively formed over the gate dielectric layer such that the first metal layer may be selectively deposited on only those portions of the gate dielectric layer which are not covered by the inhibitor layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor device has a P channel gate stack comprising a first metal type and a second metal type over the first metal type and an N channel gate stack comprising the second metal type in direct contact with the a gate dielectric. The N channel gate stack and a portion of the P channel gate stack are etched by a dry etch. The etch of P channel gate stack is completed with a wet etch. The wet etch is very selective to the gate dielectric and to the second metal type so that the N channel transistor is not adversely effected by completing the etch of the P channel gate stack.

    摘要: Using plating, metal gates for N channel and P channel transistors are formed of different materials to achieve the appropriate work function for these N and P channel transistors. The plating is achieved with a seed layer consistent with the growth of the desired layer. The preferred materials are selected from the platinum metals, which comprise ruthenium, ruthenium oxide, iridium, palladium, platinum, nickel, osmium, and cobalt. These are attractive metals because they are relatively high conductivity, can be plated, and provide a good choice of work functions for forming P and N channel transistors.

    摘要: Insulating layers between transistors that are very close together may have voids. When contacts are formed in these areas between these close transistors, the contact hole is formed at the void location. These voids may extend between the contact locations that are close together so that the deposition of the conductive material into these contact holes may extend sufficiently into the void to short two such contacts. This is prevented by placing a liner in the contact hole, which constricts the void size in the contact hole, prior to depositing the conductive material. This restricts ingress of conductive material into the void. This prevents the void from being an unwanted conduction path between two contacts that are in close proximity. The bottoms of the contact holes are etched to remove the liner prior to depositing the conductive material.
