摘要:
There is provided a semiconductor device having a metal silicide layer which can suppress the malfunction and the increase in power consumption of the device. The semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate containing silicon and having a main surface, first and second impurity diffusion layers formed in the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, a metal silicide formed over the second impurity diffusion layer, and a silicon nitride film and a first interlayer insulation film sequentially stacked over the metal silicide. In the semiconductor device, a contact hole penetrating through the silicon nitride film and the first interlayer insulation film, and reaching the surface of the metal silicide is formed. The thickness of a portion of the metal silicide situated immediately under the contact hole is smaller than the thickness of a portion of the metal silicide situated around the contact hole.

An N-type source region and an N-type drain region of N-channel type MISFETs are implanted with ions (containing at least one of F, Si, C, Ge, Ne, Ar and Kr) with P-channel type MISFETs being covered by a mask layer. Then, each gate electrode, source region and drain region of the N- and P-channel type MISFETs are subjected to silicidation (containing at least one of Ni, Ti, Co, Pd, Pt and Er). This can suppress a drain-to-body off-leakage current (substrate leakage current) in the N-channel type MISFETs without degrading the drain-to-body off-leakage current in the P-channel type MISFETs.

Even if it is a case where the silicide region of nickel or a nickel alloy is formed in the source and drain of n channel MISFET, the semiconductor device in which OFF leakage current does not increase easily is realized.The channel length direction of n channel MISFET where the silicide region of nickel or a nickel alloy was formed on the source and the drain is arranged so that it may become parallel to the crystal orientation of a semiconductor substrate. Since it is hard to extend the silicide region of nickel or a nickel alloy in the direction of crystal orientation , even if it is a case where the silicide region of nickel or a nickel alloy is formed in the source and drain of n channel MISFET, the semiconductor device in which OFF leakage current does not increase easily is obtained.

To improve the performance of semiconductor devices. Over an n+-type semiconductor region for source/drain of an n-channel type MISFET and a first gate electrode, and over a p+-type semiconductor region for source/drain of a p-channel type MISFET and a second gate electrode, which are formed over a semiconductor substrate, a metal silicide layer including nickel platinum silicide is formed by a salicide process. After that, a tensile stress film is formed over the whole face of the semiconductor substrate, and then the tensile stress film over the p-channel type MISFET is removed by dry-etching, and, after a compression stress film is formed over the whole face of the semiconductor substrate, the compression stress film over the n-channel type MISFET is removed by dry-etching. The Pt concentration in the metal silicide layer is highest at the surface, and becomes lower as the depth from the surface increases.

The present invention can prevent occurrence of an off-leak current in the NMISFETs formed over the Si (110) substrate and having a silicided source/drain region. The semiconductor device includes N channel MISFETs (Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) which are formed over a semiconductor substrate having a main surface with a (110) plane orientation and have a source region and a drain region at least one of which has thereover nickel silicide or a nickel alloy silicide. Of these NMISFETs, those having a channel width less than 400 nm are laid out so that their channel length direction is parallel to a crystal orientation.
摘要:
Gate electrodes made of polysilicon film are isolated and face each other by way of a side wall spacer portion that fills a gap formed above an isolation insulating film at the boundary of NMIS region and PMIS region. A first metal film is formed on one of the gate electrodes, and an inhomogeneous second metal film is formed on the other of the gate electrodes. The both gate electrodes become inhomogeneous metal silicide gates through the promotion of silicide reaction by heat treatment. The mutual diffusion of metal atoms from the metal film to the gate electrode is suppressed by the interposition of the side wall spacer portion being an insulating film.
