    摘要: Interlayer dielectric gap fill processes are enhanced by forming gate spacers with a tapered profile. Embodiments include forming a gate electrode on a substrate, depositing a spacer material over the gate electrode and substrate, the spacer layer having a first surface nearest the gate electrode and substrate, a second surface furthest from the gate electrode and substrate, and a continuously increasing etch rate from the first surface to the second surface, and etching the spacer layer to form a spacer on each side of the gate electrode. Embodiments further include forming the spacer layer by depositing a spacer material and continuously decreasing the density of the spacer material during deposition or depositing a carbon-containing spacer material and causing a gradient of carbon content in the spacer layer.

    摘要: Interlayer dielectric gap fill processes are enhanced by forming gate spacers with a step-like or tapered profile. Embodiments include forming a gate electrode on a substrate, depositing a spacer material over the gate electrode, etching the spacer material to form a first spacer on each side of the gate electrode, and pulling back the first spacers to form second spacers which have a step-like profile. Embodiments further include depositing a second spacer material over the gate electrode and the second spacers, and etching the second spacer material to form a third spacer on each second spacer, the second and third spacers forming an outwardly tapered composite spacer.

    摘要: A method of forming trench openings in a dual damascene trench and via etch process by using a two component hard mask layer, termed a bi-layer, over different intermetal dielectrics, IMD, to solve dual damascene patterning problems, such as, fencing and sub-trench formation. Via first patterning in dual damascene processing is one of the major integration schemes for copper backend of line (BEOL) integration. Via first dual damascene scheme usually uses a hard mask layer deposited on top of an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) film stack. The dual damascene trench etch requires uniform trench depth across wafer after etch. In addition, via top corner profiles need to be well maintained without any fencing or faceting. The present method solves these problems by using a two component hard mask layer, termed a bi-layer, deposited directly on top of an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) film stack.

    摘要: A memory device is fabricated through the integration of embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) with replacement metal gate (RMG) and high-k/metal gate (HKMG) modules. Embodiments include forming two substrate portions having upper surfaces at different heights, forming non-volatile gate stacks over the substrate portion with the lower upper surface, and forming high-voltage gate stacks and logic gate stacks over the other substrate portion. Embodiments include the upper surfaces of the non-voltage gate stacks, the high-voltage gate stacks, and the logic gate stacks being substantially coplanar.
