    摘要: By forming a buffer material above differently stressed contact etch stop layers followed by the deposition of a further stress-inducing material, enhanced overall device performance may be accomplished, wherein an undesired influence of the additional stress-inducing layer may be reduced in device regions, for instance, by removing the additional material or by performing a relaxation implantation process. Furthermore, process uniformity during a patterning sequence for forming contact openings may be enhanced by partially removing the additional stress-inducing layer at an area at which a contact opening is to be formed.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprises providing a semiconductor substrate comprising at least one transistor element. An etch stop layer is formed over the transistor element. A stressed first dielectric layer is formed over the etch stop layer. A protective layer adapted to reduce an intrusion of moisture into the first dielectric layer is formed over the first dielectric layer. At least one electrical connection to the transistor element is formed. At least a portion of the protective layer remains over the first dielectric layer after completion of the formation of the at least one electrical connection.

    摘要: A highly stressed dielectric material, such as a tensile stressed material, may be deposited in a conformal manner so as to respect any deposition constraints caused by pronounced surface topography of highly scaled semiconductor devices, followed by the deposition of a buffer material having enhanced gap-filling capabilities. Thereafter, a further stress-inducing layer is deposited to form a doublet structure, which acts on the transistor elements, thereby enhancing overall performance, without increasing the probability of creating deposition-related irregularities. Hence, production yield as well as performance of highly scaled semiconductor devices may be increased.
