    摘要: MOS transistor and CMOS devices comprising a plurality of transistors including in-laid, metal-based gate electrodes of different composition are formed by a process comprising: depositing a first blanket layer of a first metal filling openings in an insulative layer at the bottom of which openings gate insulator layer segments of MOS transistor precursor regions formed in a semiconductor substrate are exposed; selectively forming at least one masking layer segment on the first blanket layer overlying selected ones of the MOS transistor precursor regions; depositing a second blanket layer of a second metal or silicon over the thus-formed structure, and effecting alloying or silicidation reaction between contacting portions of the first and second blanket layers overlying other ones of the MOS transistor precursor regions. Unnecessary layers remaining after alloying or silicidation reaction are then removed by performing planarization processing, e.g., by CMP. The invention also includes MOS and CMOS devices comprising differently composed in-laid, metal-based gate electrodes.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a physical vapor deposited (PVD) layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. The metal is then formed on the PVD amorphous silicon layer. Additional dopants are implanted into the PVD amorphous silicon layer. An annealing process forms silicide in the gate, with a layer of silicon remaining unreacted. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the PVD amorphous silicon layer, while the additional doping of the PVD amorphous silicon layer lowers the resistivity of the gate electrode.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a chemical vapor deposited layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. A barrier is then deposited on the CVD amorphous silicon layer. A metal is then formed on the barrier. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the CVD amorphous silicon layer. The work function is preserved by the barrier during subsequent high temperature processing, due to the barrier which prevents interaction between the CVD amorphous silicon layer and the metal, which could otherwise form silicide and change the work function.

    摘要: A method for implementing a self-aligned metal silicide gate is achieved by confining amorphous silicon within a recess overlying a channel and annealing to cause the amorphous silicon with its overlying metal to interact to form the self-aligned metal silicide gate. A gate dielectric layer formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack is formed on the bottom and sidewalls of the recess prior to depositing the silicon. The silicon is removed except for the portion of the silicon in the recess. The remaining portions of the metal are removed by manipulating the etch selectivity between the metal and the self-aligned metal silicide gate.
