    摘要: A process for passivating the semiconductor-dielectric interface of a MOS structure to reduce the interface state density to a very low level. A particular example is a MOSFET having a tungsten electrode that in the past has prevented passivation of the underlying semiconductor-dielectric interface to an extent sufficient to reduce the interface state density to less than 5×1010/cm2−eV. Though substantially impervious to molecular hydrogen, thin tungsten layers are shown to be pervious to atomic hydrogen, enabling atomic hydrogen to be diffused through a tungsten electrode into an underlying semiconductor-dielectric interface. Three general approaches are encompassed: forming an aluminum-tungsten electrode stack in the presence of hydrogen so as to store atomic hydrogen between the tungsten and aluminum layers, followed by an anneal to cause the atomic hydrogen to diffuse through the tungsten layer and into the interface; subjecting a tungsten electrode to hydrogen plasma, during which atomic hydrogen diffuses through the electrode and into the semiconductor-dielectric interface; and implanting atomic hydrogen into tungsten electrode, followed by an anneal to cause the atomic hydrogen to diffuse through the electrode and into the semiconductor-dielectric interface.

    摘要: Silicide is introduced into the gate region of a CMOS device through different process options for both conventional and replacement gate types processes. Placement of silicide in the gate itself, introduction of the silicide directly in contact with the gate dielectric, introduction of the silicide as a fill on top of a metal gate all ready in place, and introduction the silicide as a capping layer on polysilicon or on the existing metal gate, are presented. Silicide is used as an option to connect between PFET and NFET devices of a CMOS structure. The processes protect the metal gate while allowing for the source and drain silicide to be of a different silicide than the gate silicide. A semiconducting substrate is provided having a gate with a source and a drain region. A gate dielectric layer is deposited on the substrate, along with a metal gate layer. The metal gate layer is then capped with a silicide formed on top of the gate, and conventional formation of the device then proceeds. A second silicide may be employed within the gate. A replacement gate is made from two different metals (dual metal gate replacement) prior to capping with a silicide.

    摘要: A MOS structure processed to have a semiconductor-dielectric interface that is passivated to reduce the interface state density. An example is a MOSFET having a gate dielectric on which an electrode is present that is substantially impervious to molecular hydrogen, but sufficiently thin to be pervious to atomic hydrogen, enabling atomic hydrogen to be diffused therethrough into an underlying semiconductor-dielectric interface. Atomic hydrogen diffusion can be achieved by subjecting such an electrode to hydrogen plasma, forming the electrode of an aluminum-tungsten alloy in the presence of hydrogen, and implanting atomic hydrogen into the electrode. The latter two techniques are each followed by an anneal to cause the atomic hydrogen to diffuse through the electrode and into the semiconductor-dielectric interface.
