    摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating an integrated circuit that includes gate to active contacts. One method includes processing the IC in a replacement gate technology including forming dummy gates, sidewall spacers on the dummy gates, and metal silicide contacts to active areas. A fill layer is deposited and planarized to expose the dummy gates and the dummy gates are removed. A mask is formed having an opening overlying a portion of the channel region from which the dummy gate was removed and a portion of an adjacent metal silicide contact. The fill layer and a portion of the sidewall spacers exposed through the mask opening are etched to expose a portion of the adjacent metal silicide contact. A gate electrode material is deposited overlying the channel region and exposed metal silicide contact and is planarized to form a gate electrode and a gate-to-metal silicide contact interconnect.

    摘要: Improved MOSFET devices are obtained by incorporating strain inducing source-drain regions whose closest facing “nose” portions underlying the gate are located at different depths from the device surface. In a preferred embodiment, the spaced-apart source-drain regions may laterally overlap. This close proximity increases the favorable impact of the strain inducing source-drain regions on the carrier mobility in an induced channel region between the source and drain. The source-drain regions are formed by epitaxially refilling asymmetric cavities etched from both sides of the gate. Cavity asymmetry is obtained by forming an initial cavity proximate only one sidewall of the gate and then etching the final spaced-apart source-drain cavities proximate both sidewalls of the gate along predetermined crystallographic directions. The finished cavities having different depths and nose regions at different heights extending toward each other under the gate, are epitaxially refilled with the strain inducing semiconductor material for the source-drain regions.

A metal silicide region is formed in the silicon substrate exposed by the first trench. A first stress-inducing layer is formed overlying the metal silicide region. A second stress-inducing layer is formed overlying the first stress-inducing layer. An ILD layer of dielectric material is formed overlying the second stress-inducing layer. A second trench is formed extending through the ILD layer and the first and second stress-inducing layers to the metal silicide region. The second trench is filled with a conductive material.
