    摘要: A method of forming a transistor gate stack having an annealed gate dielectric layer begins by providing a substrate that includes a first and second spacer separated by a trench. A conformal high-k gate dielectric layer is deposited on the substrate and within the trench with a thickness that ranges from 3 Å to 60 Å. Next, a capping layer is deposited on the high-k gate dielectric layer that substantially fills the trench and covers the high-k gate dielectric layer. The high-k gate dielectric layer is then annealed at a temperature that is greater than or equal to 600° C. The capping layer is removed to expose an annealed high-k gate dielectric layer. A metal layer is then deposited on the annealed high-k gate dielectric layer. A CMP process may be used to remove excess material and complete formation of the transistor gate stack.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a high quality silicon oxynitride layer for a high-k/metal gate transistor comprises depositing a high-k dielectric layer on a substrate, depositing a barrier layer on the high-k dielectric layer, wherein the barrier layer includes at least one of nitrogen or oxygen, depositing a capping layer on the barrier layer, and annealing the substrate at a temperature that causes at least a portion of the nitrogen and/or oxygen in the barrier layer to diffuse to an interface between the high-k dielectric layer and the substrate. The diffused nitrogen or oxygen forms a high-quality silicon oxynitride layer at the interface. The high-k dielectric layer, the barrier layer, and the capping layer may then be etched to form a gate stack for use in a high-k/metal gate transistor. The capping layer may be replaced with a metal gate electrode using a replacement metal gate process.
