    摘要: A method of forming a gate structure is provided. The method includes providing a metal layer in the gate structure, the metal layer includes an oxygen-gettering composition. The metal layer getters oxygen from the interface layer, which may decrease the thickness of the interface layer. The gettered oxygen converts the metal layer to a metal oxide, which may act as a gate dielectric for the gate structure. A multi-layer metal gate structure is also provided including a oxygen-gettering metal layer, an oxygen-containing metal layer, and a polysilicon interface metal layer overlying a high-k gate dielectric.

    摘要: A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET) having localized stressors is provided. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, a transistor comprises a high-stress film over the source/drain regions, but not over the gate electrode. The high-stress film may be a tensile-stress film for use with n-channel devices or a compressive-stress film for use with p-channel devices. A method of fabricating a MOSFET with localized stressors over the source/drain regions comprises forming a transistor having a gate electrode and source/drain regions, forming a high-stress film over the gate electrode and the source/drain regions, and thereafter removing the high-stress film located over the gate electrode, thereby leaving the high-stress film located over the source/drain regions. A contact-etch stop layer may be formed over the transistor.

    摘要: A preferred embodiment of the invention provides a semiconductor fabrication method. An embodiment comprises forming a MOS device having sidewall spacers. A highly stressed layer is deposited over the device. The stress is selectively adjusted in that portion of the layer over the gate electrode and the sidewall spacers. Preferably, the stress layer over the gate electrode and over the sidewall spacers is adjusted from a first stress to a second stress, wherein the first stress is one of tensile and compressive, and the second stress is the other of tensile and compressive. Preferred embodiments selectively induce a suitable stress within PMOS and NMOS channel regions for improving their respective carrier mobility. Still other embodiments of the invention comprise a field effect transistor (FET) having a overlying stressed layer, the stressed layer being comprised of different stress regions.
