    摘要: Apparatus for semiconductor device structures and related fabrication methods are provided. One method for fabricating a semiconductor device structure involves forming a layer of dielectric material overlying a doped region formed in a semiconductor substrate adjacent to a gate structure and forming a conductive contact in the layer of dielectric material. The conductive contact overlies and electrically connects to the doped region. The method continues by forming a second layer of dielectric material overlying the conductive contact, forming a voided region in the second layer overlying the conductive contact, forming a third layer of dielectric material overlying the voided region, and forming another voided region in the third layer overlying at least a portion of the voided region in the second layer. The method continues by forming a conductive material that fills both voided regions to contact the conductive contact.

    摘要: Dielectric cap layers of sophisticated high-k metal gate electrode structures may be efficiently removed on the basis of a sacrificial fill material, thereby reliably preserving integrity of a protective sidewall spacer structure, which in turn may result in superior uniformity of the threshold voltage of the transistors. The sacrificial fill material may be provided in the form of an organic material that may be reduced in thickness on the basis of a wet developing process, thereby enabling a high degree of process controllability.

    摘要: The method described herein involves a method of forming metal gates and metal contacts in a common fill process. The method may involve forming a gate structure comprising a sacrificial gate electrode material, forming at least one conductive contact opening in a layer of insulating material positioned adjacent the gate structure, removing the sacrificial gate electrode material to thereby define a gate electrode opening, and performing a common deposition process to fill the conductive contact opening and the gate electrode opening with a conductive fill material.

    摘要: Fabrication methods for semiconductor device structures are provided. One method for fabricating a semiconductor device structure that includes a gate structure overlying a semiconductor substrate and a doped region formed in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the gate structure involves the steps of forming a first layer of dielectric material overlying the gate structure and the doped region, isotropically etching the first layer of dielectric material, forming a second layer of dielectric material overlying the first layer of dielectric material after isotropically etching the first layer, and forming a conductive contact that is electrically connected to the doped region within the first layer and the second layer.

    摘要: In a replacement gate approach for forming high-k metal gate electrode structures, electronic fuses may be provided on the basis of a semiconductor material in combination with a metal silicide by using a recessed surface topography and/or a superior selectivity of the metal silicide material during the replacement gate process. For example, in some illustrative embodiments, electronic fuses may be provided in a recessed portion of an isolation region, thereby avoiding the removal of the semiconductor material when replacing the semiconductor material of the gate electrode structures with a metal-containing electrode material. Consequently, the concept of well-established semiconductor-based electronic fuses may be applied together with sophisticated replacement gate structures of transistors.
