摘要: The present disclosure describes a method for forming a hard mask on a transistor's gate structure that minimizes gate spacer loss and gate height loss during the formation of self-aligned contact openings. The method includes forming spacers on sidewalls of spaced apart gate structures and disposing a dielectric layer between the gate structures. The method also includes etching top surfaces of the gate structures and top surfaces of the spacers with respect to a top surface of the dielectric layer. Additionally, the method includes depositing a hard mask layer having a metal containing dielectric layer over the etched top surfaces of the gate structures and the spacers and etching the dielectric layer with an etching chemistry to form contact openings between the spacers, where the hard mask layer has a lower etch rate than the spacers when exposed to the etching chemistry.

摘要: Disclosed are a structure including a fin-type field effect transistor (FINFET) and a method. The FINFET includes first and second fins. An isolation structure is adjacent the outer sidewall of the first fin at a channel region and, optionally, fills a groove in the outer sidewall so the fin width is reduced. A gate is adjacent the inner sidewall of the first fin at the channel region and extends over the first fin to the isolation structure. The gate is further adjacent an inner sidewall and top of the second fin at a channel region. In some embodiments, a second isolation structure is adjacent an outer sidewall of the second fin at the channel region and, optionally, fills a groove in the outer sidewall so the fin width is reduced. In this case, the gate extends over the second fin to the second isolation structure.

摘要: A method of fabricating a device includes providing a fin extending from a substrate, where the fin includes an epitaxial layer stack having a plurality of semiconductor channel layers interposed by a plurality of dummy layers. In some embodiments, the method further includes removing a portion of the epitaxial layer stack within a source/drain region of the semiconductor device to form a trench in the source/drain region that exposes lateral surfaces of the plurality of semiconductor channel layers and the plurality of dummy layers. After forming the trench, in some examples, the method further includes performing a dummy layer recess process to laterally etch ends of the plurality of dummy layers to form first recesses along a sidewall of the trench. In some embodiments, the method further includes conformally forming a cap layer along the exposed lateral surfaces of the plurality of semiconductor channel layers and within the first recesses.

摘要: A method includes depositing a first conductive layer over a gate dielectric layer; depositing a first work function tuning layer over the first conductive layer; selectively removing the first work function tuning layer from over a first region of the first conductive layer; doping the first work function tuning layer with a dopant; and after doping the first work function tuning layer performing a first treatment process to etch the first region of the first conductive layer and a second region of the first work function tuning layer. The first treatment process etches the first conductive layer at a greater rate than the first work function tuning layer.

摘要: Disclosed are a transistor and a method for forming the transistor. The method includes concurrently forming gate and source/drain openings through an uppermost layer (i.e., a dielectric layer) in a stack of layers. The method can further include: depositing and patterning gate conductor material so that a first gate section is in the gate opening and a second gate section is above the gate opening and so that the source/drain openings are exposed; extending the depth of the source/drain openings; and depositing and patterning source/drain conductor material so that a first source/drain section is in each source/drain opening and a second source/drain section is above each source/drain opening. Alternatively, the method can include: forming a plug in the gate opening and sidewall spacers in the source/drain openings; extending the depth of source/drain openings; depositing and patterning the source/drain conductor material; and subsequently depositing and patterning the gate conductor material.
