    摘要: Accurate determination of gate dielectric thickness is required to produce high-reliability and high-performance ultra-thin gate dielectric semiconductor devices. Large area gate dielectric capacitors with ultra-thin gate dielectric layers suffer from high gate leakage, which prevents the accurate measurement of gate dielectric thickness. Accurate measurement of gate dielectric thickness of smaller area gate dielectric capacitors is hindered by the relatively large parasitic capacitance of the smaller area capacitors. The formation of first and second dummy structures on a wafer allow the accurate determination of gate dielectric thickness. First and second dummy structures are formed that are substantially similar to the gate dielectric capacitors except that the first dummy structures are formed without the second electrode of the capacitor and the second dummy structures are formed without the first electrode of the capacitor structure. The capacitance, and therefore thickness, of the gate dielectric capacitor is determined by subtracting the parasitic capacitances measured at the first and second dummy structures.

    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit with a semiconductor substrate is provided. A gate dielectric is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate is formed on the gate dielectric. Source/drain junctions are formed in the semiconductor substrate. A silicide is formed on the source/drain junctions and on the gate. An interlayer dielectric having contact holes therein is formed above the semiconductor substrate. Contact liners are formed in the contact holes, and contacts are then formed over the contact liners. The contact liners are nitrides of the contact material, and formed at a temperature below the thermal budget for the silicide.

    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit with a semiconductor substrate is provided. A gate dielectric is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate is formed on the gate dielectric. A sidewall spacer is formed around the gate. Source/drain junctions are formed in the semiconductor substrate. An intermediate phase silicide is formed on the source/drain regions and on the gate. The sidewall spacer is removed. A final phase silicide is formed from the intermediate phase silicide. An interlayer dielectric is deposited above the semiconductor substrate, and contacts are then formed in the interlayer dielectric to the final phase silicide.
