    摘要: A metal gate structure and method of making the same provides a tracer layer over a first metal or metal compound layer. When etching a metal gate, formed of tungsten, for example, with a first etchant chemistry optimized for etching tungsten, detection of the tracer layer through optical emission spectroscopy, for example, indicates the imminent clearing of the tungsten. A second etchant chemistry is then employed that is selective to the first metal or metal compound layer, such as TiN, overlying the gate dielectric. This provides a controlled etching of the TiN and thereby prevents degradation of the underlying gate dielectric material.

    摘要: A metal gate structure and method of forming the same employs an etch stop layer between a first metal layer, made of TiN, for example, and the metal gate formed of tungsten. The etch stop layer prevents overetching of the TiN during the etching of the tungsten in the formation of the metal gate. The prevention of the overetching of the TiN protects the gate oxide from undesirable degradation. The provision of aluminum or tantalum in the etch stop layer allows a thin etch stop layer to be used that provides adequate etch stopping capability and does not undesirably affect the work function of the TiN.

    摘要: A metal gate structure and method of forming the same introduces metal impurities into a first metal layer, made of TiN, for example. The impurities create a surface region of greater etch selectivity that prevents overetching of the TiN during the etching of an overlying tungsten gate during the formation of the metal gate structure. The prevention of the overetching of the TiN protects the gate oxide from undesirable degradation. The provision of aluminum or tantalum as the metal impurities provides adequate etch stopping capability and does not undesirably affect the work function of the TiN.

    摘要: The subject invention provides systems and methods that monitor and/or control turbulence of an immersion medium. The systems and methods relate to computer controlled techniques that reduce effects of immersion medium flow due to a liquid temperature gradient. According to an aspect of the subject invention, a number of temperature measurements of the immersion medium are obtained, and the temperature measurements are utilized to generate a gradient map of the immersion medium. By way of illustration, the temperature measurements can be made via wireless temperature sensors. The gradient map can be utilized to understand the stability of the immersion medium. According to an aspect of the subject invention, instability identified with the gradient map can be mitigated.
