摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a layer of semiconductor material having an active transistor region defined therein, an isolation trench formed in the semiconductor material adjacent the active transistor region, and a trench liner lining the isolation trench, wherein the trench liner is formed from a material that substantially inhibits formation of high-k material thereon, and wherein the isolation trench and the trench liner together form a lined trench. The device has an insulating material in the lined trench, and high-k gate material overlying at least a portion of the insulating material and overlying at least a portion of the active transistor region, such that the trench liner divides and separates the high-k gate material overlying the at least a portion of the insulating material from the high-k gate material overlying the at least a portion of the active transistor region.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided herein, where the width effect is reduced in the resulting semiconductor device. The method involves providing a substrate having semiconductor material, forming an isolation trench in the semiconductor material, and lining the isolation trench with a liner material that substantially inhibits formation of high-k material thereon. The lined trench is then filled with an insulating material. Thereafter, a layer of high-k gate material is formed over at least a portion of the insulating material and over at least a portion of the semiconductor material. The liner material divides the layer of high-k gate material, which prevents the migration of oxygen over the active region of the semiconductor material.

Embodiments of an integrated circuit are provided. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit includes a substrate, a short channel (SC) device, and a long channel (LC) device. The short channel device includes an SC gate insulator overlying a first portion of the substrate, an SC metal gate overlying the SC gate insulator, a polycrystalline silicon layer overlying the metal gate, and a silicide layer formed on the polycrystalline silicon layer. The long channel (LC) device includes an LC gate insulator overlying a second portion of the substrate and an LC metal gate overlying the LC gate insulator. An etch stop layer overlies an upper surface of the substrate, and an interlayer dielectric overlies an upper surface of the etch stop layer. An SC cap is disposed in the interlayer dielectric, overlies the SC device, and is formed substantially from the same metal as is the LC metal gate.

A method is provided for manufacturing an integrated circuit including a short channel (SC) device and a long channel (LC) device each overlaid by an interlayer dielectric. The SC device has an SC gate stack and the LC device initially has a dummy gate. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of removing the dummy gate to form an LC device trench, and depositing metal gate material over the SC device and the LC device. The metal gate material contacts the SC gate stack and substantially fills the LC device trench.

Methods for forming a semiconductor device comprising a silicon-comprising substrate are provided. One exemplary method comprises depositing a polysilicon layer overlying the silicon-comprising substrate, amorphizing the polysilicon layer, etching the amorphized polysilicon layer to form a gate electrode, depositing a stress-inducing layer overlying the gate electrode, annealing the silicon-comprising substrate to recrystallize the gate electrode, removing the stress-inducing layer, etching recesses into the substrate using the gate electrode as an etch mask, and epitaxially growing impurity-doped, silicon-comprising regions in the recesses.
摘要:
High performance asymmetric transistors including controllable diode characteristics at the source and/or drain are developed by supplying impurities with high accuracy of location by angled implants in a trench or diffusion from a solid body formed as a sidewall of doped material. High concentration gradient of impurities to support high performance is achieved by providing for reduced heat treatment after the impurity is supplied in order to limit diffusion previously necessary to achieve the desired location of impurity structures. Damascene or quasi-Damascene gate structures are also provided for high dimensional uniformity, increased manufacturing yield and structural integrity of the transistor.
