    摘要: A method for self-aligned gate patterning is disclosed. Two masks are used to process adjacent semiconductor components, such as an nFET and pFET that are separated by a shallow trench isolation region. The mask materials are chosen to facilitate selective etching. The second mask is applied while the first mask is still present, thereby causing the second mask to self align to the first mask. This avoids the undesirable formation of a stringer over the shallow trench isolation region, thereby improving the yield of a semiconductor manufacturing operation.

    摘要: A method for fabricating metal gate and polysilicon gate FET devices on the same chip is disclosed. The method avoids the use of two separate masks during gate stack fabrication of the differing gates. By using a single mask, tighter NFET to PFET distances can be achieved, and the fabrication process is simplified. After blanket disposing layers for the fabrication of the metal gate stack, a covering protective material layer is formed, again in blanket fashion. A block level mask is used to clear the surface for the gate insulator formation in the poly gate device regions. During oxidation, which forms the gate dielectric for the poly gate devices, the protective material prevents damage of the metal gate device regions. Following oxidation, a single common polysilicon cover is disposed in blanket manner for continuing the fabrication of the gate stacks. The protective material is selected in such a way to be either easily removable upon oxidation, or to be conductive upon oxidation. In this latter case the oxidized protective material is incorporated into the metal gate stack, which incorporation results in a novel CMOS structure.

    摘要: A stressed film applied across a boundary defined by a structure or a body (e.g. substrate or layer) of semiconductor material provides a change from tensile to compressive stress in the semiconductor material proximate to the boundary and is used to modify boron diffusion rate during annealing and thus modify final boron concentrations. In the case of a field effect transistor, the gate structure may be formed with or without sidewalls to regulate the location of the boundary relative to source/drain, extension and/or halo implants. Different boron diffusion rates can be produced in the lateral and vertical directions and diffusion rates comparable to arsenic can be achieved. Reduction of junction capacitance of both nFETs and pFETs can be achieved simultaneously with the same process steps.

    摘要: Compressive or tensile materials are selectively introduced beneath and in alignment with spacer areas and adjacent to channel areas of a semiconductor substrate to enhance or degrade electron and hole mobility in CMOS circuits. A process entails steps of creating dummy spacers, forming a dielectric mandrel (i.e., mask), removing the dummy spacers, etching recesses into the underlying semiconductor substrate, introducing a compressive or tensile material into a portion of each recess, and filling the remainder of each recess with substrate material.

    摘要: A protruding structure having a linear edge is formed on a substrate. The protruding structure may be a gate line of a field effect transistor. A stress-generating liner is deposited on the substrate. A non-photosensitive self-assembling block copolymer layer containing at least two immiscible polymeric block components is deposited on the stress-generating liner, and is annealed to allow phase separation of immiscible components. The polymeric resist is developed to remove at least one of the at least two polymeric block components, which formed a pattern of nested lines due to the linear edge of the protruding structure. Linear nanoscale stripes are formed in the polymeric resist which is self-aligning and self-assembled. The stress-generating layer is patterned into linear stress-generating stripes having a sublithographic width. The linear stress-generating stripes provide a predominantly uniaxial stress along their lengthwise direction, providing an anisotropic stress to an underlying semiconductor device.
