    摘要: A method of forming a metal semiconductor alloy that includes forming an intermixed metal semiconductor region to a first depth of a semiconductor substrate without thermal diffusion. The intermixed metal semiconductor region is annealed to form a textured metal semiconductor alloy. A second metal layer is formed on the textured metal semiconductor alloy. The second metal layer on the textured metal semiconductor alloy is then annealed to form a metal semiconductor alloy contact, in which metal elements from the second metal layer are diffused through the textured metal semiconductor alloy to provide a templated metal semiconductor alloy. The templated metal semiconductor alloy includes a grain size that is greater than 2× for the metal semiconductor alloy, which has a thickness ranging from 15 nm to 50 nm.

    摘要: Raised active regions having faceted semiconductor surfaces are formed on semiconductor fins by selective epitaxy such that the raised active regions are not merged among one another, but are proximal to one another by a distance less than a thickness of a metal semiconductor alloy region to be subsequently formed. A contiguous metal semiconductor alloy region is formed by depositing and reacting a metallic material with the semiconductor material of raised active regions. The contiguous metal semiconductor alloy region is in contact with angled surfaces of the plurality of raised active regions, and can provide a greater contact area and lower parasitic contact resistance than a semiconductor structure including merged semiconductor fins of comparable sizes. Merged fins enable smaller, and/or fewer, contact via structures than a total number of raised active regions can be employed to reduce parasitic capacitance between a gate electrode and the contact via structures.

    摘要: A contact via hole is formed through at least one dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor material is deposited at the bottom of the contact via hole and atop the at least one dielectric layer by ion cluster deposition. An angled oxygen cluster deposition is performed to convert portions of the semiconductor material on the top surface of the at least one dielectric layer into a semiconductor oxide, while oxygen is not implanted into the deposited semiconductor material at the bottom of the contact via hole. A metal semiconductor alloy is formed at the bottom of the contact hole by deposition of a metal and an anneal. The semiconductor oxide at the top of the at least one dielectric layer can be removed during a preclean before metal deposition, a postclean after metal semiconductor alloy formation, and/or during planarization for forming contact via structures.
