摘要:
A deep trench capacitor used in a trench DRAM includes a buried plate and an isolation collar. The deep trench is bottle-shaped, and the isolation collar is formed in upper portion of the wider region of the bottle-shaped trench. The buried plate surrounds the lower portion of the wider part of the bottle-shaped trench, and hemispherical grain polysilicon lines the walls of at least the lower portion of the wider part of the trench. A nitride liner layer lines the inner walls of the oxide collar and prevents diffusion of dopant through the oxide collar into the substrate when the HSG polysilicon and the doped buried plate are formed. The buried plate region is self-aligned to the isolation collar. The depth of the top of the wider part of the bottle shape and the bottom depth of the isolation collar are determined by successive resist deposition and recessing steps.
摘要:
A method of forming a buried dielectric collar around a trench and of forming a trench capacitor, the buried dielectric collar formed by: (a) forming the trench in a substrate; (b) forming a multilayer coating on sidewalls and a bottom of the trench; (c) removing a continuous band of the multilayer coating from the sidewalls a fixed distance from a top of the trench to expose a continuous band substrate in the sidewalls of the trench; (d) etching, in said exposed band of substrate, a lateral trench extending into said substrate in said sidewalls of said trench; and (e) filling the lateral trench with a dielectric material to form the buried dielectric collar. The trench capacitor is formed by filling the trench or its variants with polysilicon.

Replacement gate work function material stacks are provided, which provides a work function about the energy level of the conduction band of silicon. After removal of a disposable gate stack, a gate dielectric layer is formed in a gate cavity. A metallic compound layer including a metal and a non-metal element is deposited directly on the gate dielectric layer. At least one barrier layer and a conductive material layer is deposited and planarized to fill the gate cavity. The metallic compound layer includes a material, which provides, in combination with other layer, a work function about 4.4 eV or less, and can include a material selected from tantalum carbide, metallic nitrides, and a hafnium-silicon alloy. Thus, the metallic compound layer can provide a work function that enhances the performance of an n-type field effect transistor employing a silicon channel. Optionally, carbon doping can be introduced in the channel.

The thickness and composition of a gate dielectric can be selected for different types of field effect transistors through a planar high dielectric constant material portion, which can be provided only for selected types of field effect transistors. Further, the work function of field effect transistors can be tuned independent of selection of the material stack for the gate dielectric. A stack of a barrier metal layer and a first-type work function metal layer is deposited on a gate dielectric layer within recessed gate cavities after removal of disposable gate material portions. After patterning the first-type work function metal layer, a second-type work function metal layer is deposited directly on the barrier metal layer in the regions of the second type field effect transistor. A conductive material fills the gate cavities, and a subsequent planarization process forms dual work function metal gate structures.

A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of gate stacks located on a surface of the semiconductor substrate. Each gate stack includes, from bottom to top, a high k gate dielectric layer, a work function metal layer and a conductive metal. A spacer is located on sidewalls of each gate stack and a self-aligned dielectric liner is present on an upper surface of each spacer. A bottom surface of each self-aligned dielectric liner is present on an upper surface of a semiconductor metal alloy. A contact metal is located between neighboring gate stacks and is separated from each gate stack by the self-aligned dielectric liner. The structure also includes another contact metal having a portion that is located on and in direct contact with an upper surface of the contact metal and another portion that is located on and in direct contact with the conductive metal of one of the gate stacks. Methods of forming the semiconductor structure using a replacement gate and a non-replacement gate scheme are also disclosed.
