A method of forming an electropositive metal-containing capping layer atop a stack of a high k gate dielectric/interfacial layer that avoids chemically and physically altering the high k gate dielectric and the interfacial layer is provided. The method includes chemical vapor deposition of an electropositive metal-containing precursor at a temperature that is about 400° C. or less. The present invention also provides semiconductor structures such as, for example, MOSCAPs and MOSFETs, that include a chemical vapor deposited electropositive metal-containing capping layer atop a stack of a high k gate dielectric and an interfacial layer. The presence of the CVD electropositive metal-containing capping layer does not physically or chemically alter the high k gate dielectric and the interfacial layer.

A method for fabricating a CMOS gate electrode by using Re, Rh, Pt, Ir or Ru metal and a CMOS structure that contains such gate electrodes are described. The work functions of these metals make them compatible with current pFET requirements. For instance, the metal can withstand the high hydrogen pressures necessary to produce properly passivated interfaces without undergoing chemical changes. The thermal stability of the metal on dielectric layers such as SiO2, Al2O3 and other suitable dielectric materials makes it compatible with post-processing temperatures up to 1000° C. A low temperature/low pressure CVD technique with Re2(CO)10 as the source material is used when Re is to be deposited.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method for removing charged defects from a material stack including a high k gate dielectric and a metal contact such that the final gate stack, which is useful in forming a pFET device, has a threshold voltage substantially within the silicon band gap and good carrier mobility. Specifically, the present invention provides a re-oxidation procedure that will restore the high k dielectric of a pFET device to its initial, low-defect state. It was unexpectedly determined that by exposing a material stack including a high k gate dielectric and a metal to dilute oxygen at low temperatures will substantially eliminate oxygen vacancies, resorting the device threshold to its proper value. Furthermore, it was determined that if dilute oxygen is used, it is possible to avoid undue oxidation of the underlying semiconductor substrate which would have a deleterious effect on the capacitance of the final metal-containing gate stack. The present invention also provides a semiconductor structure that includes at least one gate stack that has a threshold voltage within a control range and has good carrier mobility.

In another embodiment of the invention, a TaN layer is formed on the TaSiN layer. The TaN layer can be formed from a process gas containing TAIMATA precursor gas and optionally a nitrogen-containing gas. A computer readable medium executable by a processor to cause a processing system to perform the method and a processing system for forming a tantalum-containing gate electrode structure are also provided.
摘要:
A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for depositing materials including germanium (Ge) and antimony (Sb) which, in some embodiments, has the ability to fill high aspect ratio openings is provided. The CVD method of the instant invention permits for the control of GeSb stoichiometry over a wide range of values and the inventive method is performed at a substrate temperature of less than 400° C., which makes the inventive method compatible with existing interconnect processes and materials. In addition to the above, the inventive method is a non-selective CVD process, which means that the GeSb materials are deposited equally well on insulating and non-insulating materials.
