摘要: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor fabrication apparatus. The semiconductor apparatus includes a processing chamber for etching; a substrate stage integrated in the processing chamber and being configured to secure a semiconductor wafer; a reflective mirror configured inside the processing chamber to reflect thermal energy from the heating mechanism toward the semiconductor wafer; and a heating mechanism embedded in the process chamber and is operable to perform a baking process to remove a by-product generated during the etching. The heating mechanism is integrated between the reflective mirror and a gas distribution plate of the processing chamber.

摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a channel member suspended above a substrate, depositing a dielectric material layer wrapping around the channel member, performing an oxidation treatment to a surface portion of the dielectric material layer, selectively etching the surface portion of the dielectric material layer to expose sidewalls of the channel member, performing a nitridation treatment to remaining portions of the dielectric material layer and the exposed sidewalls of the channel member, thereby forming a nitride passivation layer partially wrapping around the channel member. The method also includes repeating the steps of performing the oxidation treatment and selectively etching until top and bottom surfaces of the channel member are exposed, removing the nitride passivation layer from the channel member, and forming a gate structure wrapping around the channel member.

摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a fin on a semiconductor substrate. The fin includes channel layers and sacrificial layers stacked one on top of the other in an alternating fashion. The method also includes removing a portion of the fin to form a first opening and expose vertical sidewalls of the channel layers and the sacrificial layers, epitaxially growing a source/drain feature in the first opening from the exposed vertical sidewalls of the channel layers and the sacrificial layers, removing another portion of the fin to form a second opening to expose a vertical sidewall of the source/drain feature, depositing a dielectric layer in the second opening to cover the exposed vertical sidewall of the source/drain feature, and replacing the sacrificial layers with a metal gate structure in the second opening. The dielectric layer separates the source/drain feature from contacting the metal gate structure.

摘要: The present disclosure describes a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. The method can include forming a fin structure over a substrate. The fin structure can include a channel layer and a sacrificial layer. The method can further include forming a first recess structure in a first portion of the fin structure, forming a second recess structure in the sacrificial layer of a second portion of the fin structure, forming a dielectric layer in the first and second recess structures, and performing an oxygen-free cyclic etching process to etch the dielectric layer to expose the channel layer of the second portion of the fin structure. The oxygen-free cyclic etching process can include two etching processes to selectively etch the dielectric layer over the channel layer.
