One embodiment of the invention relates to a method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a semiconductor structure with a silicon region which forms at least one connection region in and/or on a surface of a substrate. The method comprises forming a metal cluster layer from a first, non-siliciding metal, followed by the deposition of a metal layer consisting of a second, siliciding metal. A subsequent heat treatment is responsible for forming a metal silicide from the second metal, the atoms of the first metal being displaced in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. According to one embodiment of the invention, the atoms of the first metal are displaced by the Kirkendall effect to beneath the metal silicide. If an MOST, for example, is being fabricated, this has advantages both at the location of the source and drain region and at the location of the gate electrode.
摘要:
A method is described for forming gate structures with different metals on a single substrate. A thin semiconductor layer (26) is formed over gate dielectric (24) and patterned to be present in a first region (16) not a second region (18). Then, metal (30) is deposited and patterned to be present in the second region not the first. Then, a fully suicided gate process is carried out to result in a fully suicided gate structure in the first region and a gate structure in the second region including the fully suicided gate structure above the deposited metal (30).
摘要:
Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising MOS transistors having gate electrodes (15, 16) formed in a number of metal layers (8, 9, 13; 8, 12, 13) deposited upon one another. In this method, active silicon regions (4, 5) provided with a layer of a gate dielectric (7) and field-isolation regions (6) insulating these regions with respect to each other are formed in a silicon body (1). Then, a layer off a first metal (8) is deposited in which locally, at the location of a part of the active regions (4), nitrogen is introduced. On the layer of the first metal, a layer of a second metal (13) is then deposited, after which the gate electrodes are etched in the metal layers. Before nitrogen is introduced into the first metal layer, an auxiliary layer of a third metal (9) which is permeable to nitrogen is deposited on the first metal layer. Thus, the first metal layer can be nitrided locally without the risk of damaging the underlying gate dielectric. Substantial changes of the metal work function are possible, and a semiconductor device comprising NMOS and PMOS can be realized.

On the layer of the first metal, a layer of a second metal is then deposited, after which the gate electrodes are etched in the metal layers. Before nitrogen is introduced into the first metal layer, an auxiliary layer of a third metal permeable to nitrogen is deposited an the first metal layer. Thus, the first metal layer can be nitrided locally without the risk of damaging the underlying gate dielectric.
