    摘要: A low resistance contact is formed to a metal gate or a transistor including a High-κ gate dielectric in a high integration density integrated circuit by applying a liner over a gate stack, applying a fill material between the gate stacks, planarizing the fill material to support high-resolution lithography, etching the fill material and the liner selectively to each other to form vias and filling the vias with a metal, metal alloy or conductive metal compound such as titanium nitride.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of forming a threshold voltage adjusted gate stack in which an external acid diffusion process is employed for selectively removing a portion of a threshold voltage adjusting layer from one device region of a semiconductor substrate. The external acid diffusion process utilizes an acid polymer which when baked exhibits an increase in acid concentration which can diffuse into an underlying exposed portion of a threshold voltage adjusting layer. The diffused acid reacts with the exposed portion of the threshold voltage adjusting layer providing an acid reacted layer that can be selectively removed as compared to a laterally adjacent portion of the threshold voltage adjusting layer that is not exposed to the diffused acid.

    摘要: Each of a first substrate and a second substrate includes a surface having a diffusion resistant dielectric material such as silicon nitride. Recessed regions are formed in the diffusion resistant dielectric material and filled with a bondable dielectric material. The patterns of the metal pads and bondable dielectric material portions in the first and second substrates can have a mirror symmetry. The first and second substrates are brought into physical contact and bonded employing contacts between metal pads and contacts between the bondable dielectric material portions. Through-substrate-via (TSV) structures are formed through bonded dielectric material portions. The interface between each pair of bonded dielectric material portions located around a TSV structure is encapsulated by two diffusion resistant dielectric material layers so that diffusion of metal at a bonding interface is contained within each pair of bonded dielectric material portions.

    摘要: A method and structure to scale metal gate height in high-k/metal gate transistors. A method includes forming a dummy gate and at least one polysilicon feature, all of which are formed from a same polysilicon layer and wherein the dummy gate is formed over a gate metal layer associated with a transistor. The method also includes selectively removing the dummy gate while protecting the at least one polysilicon feature. The method further includes forming a gate contact on the gate metal layer to thereby form a metal gate having a height that is less than half a height of the at least one polysilicon feature.

    摘要: A CMOS structure includes an n-FET device comprising an n-FET channel region and a p-FET device comprising a p-FET channel region. The n-FET channel region includes a first silicon material layer located upon a silicon-germanium alloy material layer. The p-FET channel includes a second silicon material layer located upon a silicon-germanium-carbon alloy material layer. The silicon-germanium alloy material layer induces a desirable tensile strain within the n-FET channel. The silicon-germanium-carbon alloy material layer suppresses an undesirable tensile strain within the p-FET channel region. A silicon-germanium-carbon alloy material from which is comprised the silicon-germanium-carbon alloy material layer may be formed by selectively incorporating carbon into a silicon-germanium alloy material from which is formed the silicon-germanium alloy material layer.
