    摘要: Dielectric cap layers of sophisticated high-k metal gate electrode structures may be efficiently removed on the basis of a sacrificial fill material, thereby reliably preserving integrity of a protective sidewall spacer structure, which in turn may result in superior uniformity of the threshold voltage of the transistors. The sacrificial fill material may be provided in the form of an organic material that may be reduced in thickness on the basis of a wet developing process, thereby enabling a high degree of process controllability.

    摘要: A spacer structure in sophisticated semiconductor devices is formed on the basis of a high-k dielectric material, which provides superior etch resistivity compared to conventionally used silicon dioxide liners. Consequently, a reduced thickness of the etch stop material may nevertheless provide superior etch resistivity, thereby reducing negative effects, such as dopant loss in the drain and source extension regions, creating a pronounced surface topography and the like, as are typically associated with conventional spacer material systems.

    摘要: By selectively providing a buffer layer having an appropriate thickness, height differences occurring during the deposition of an SACVD silicon dioxide may be reduced during the formation of an interlayer dielectric stack of advanced semiconductor devices. The buffer material may be selectively provided after the deposition of contact etch stop layers of both types of internal stress or may be provided after the deposition of one type of dielectric material and may be used during the subsequent patterning of the other type of dielectric stop material as an efficient etch stop layer.

    摘要: By providing dummy vias below electrically non-functional metal regions, the risk for metal delamination in subsequent processes may be significantly reduced. Moreover, in some embodiments, the mechanical strength of the resulting metallization layers may be even more enhanced by providing dummy metal regions, which may act as anchors for an overlying non-functional metal region. In addition, dummy vias may also be provided in combination with electrically functional metal lines and regions, thereby also enhancing the mechanical stability and the electrical performance thereof.
