摘要: A layer of carbon (e.g., graphite or graphene) at a metal interface (e.g., between an MEOL interconnect and a gate contact or a source or drain region contact, between an MEOL contact plug and a BEOL metallization layer, and/or between BEOL conductive structures) is used to reduce contact resistance at the metal interface, which increases electrical performance of an electronic device. Additionally, in some implementations, the layer of carbon may help prevent heat transfer from a second metal to a first metal when the second metal is deposited over the first metal. This results in more symmetric deposition of the second metal, which reduces surface roughness and contact resistance at the metal interface. As an alternative, in some implementations, the layer of carbon is etched before deposition of the second metal in order to reduce contact resistance at the metal interface.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of semiconductor fins, at least one gate stack, a refill isolation, and an air gap. Each of the semiconductor fins extends in an X direction. Two adjacent ones of the semiconductor fins are spaced apart from each other in a Y direction transverse to the X direction. The at least one gate stack has two stack sections spaced apart from each other in the Y direction. The stack sections are disposed over two adjacent ones of the semiconductor fins, respectively. The refill isolation and the air gap are disposed between the stack sections.

摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes successively forming a first multi-layer etch stop structure and an insulating layer over a first conductive feature. The insulating layer and the first multi-layer etch stop structure are successively etched to form an opening substantially aligned to the first conductive feature. A second conductive feature is formed in the opening. The formation of the first multi-layer etch stop structure and the second multi-layer etch stop structure includes forming a first metal-containing dielectric layer, forming a silicon-containing dielectric layer over the first metal-containing dielectric layer, and forming a second metal-containing dielectric layer over the silicon-containing dielectric layer. The second metal-containing dielectric layer has a material that is different from the material of the first metal-containing dielectric layer.

摘要: An apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a wafer transfer mechanism, a first gas source, a second gas source and a reuse gas pipe. The vacuum chamber is divided into at least three reaction regions including a first reaction region, a second reaction region and a third reaction region. The wafer transfer mechanism is structured to transfer a wafer from the first reaction region to the third reaction region via the second reaction region. The first gas source supplies a first gas to the first reaction region via a first gas pipe, and a second gas source supplies a second gas to the second reaction region via a second gas pipe. The reuse gas pipe is connected between the first reaction region and the third reaction region for supplying an unused first gas collected in the first reaction region to the third reaction region.

摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a photoresist layer over a substrate, including combining a first precursor and a second precursor in a vapor state to form a photoresist material, and depositing the photoresist material over the substrate. A protective layer is formed over the photoresist layer. The photoresist layer is selectively exposed to actinic radiation through the protective layer to form a latent pattern in the photoresist layer. The protective layer is removed, and the latent pattern is developed by applying a developer to the selectively exposed photoresist layer to form a pattern.

摘要: In one exemplary aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a method for lithography patterning. The method includes providing a substrate and forming a target layer over the substrate. A patterning layer is formed by depositing a first layer having an organic composition having a composition including at least 50 atomic percentage carbon; depositing a second layer including silicon; and depositing a photosensitive layer on the second layer. In some implementations, the first layer is deposited by ALD, CVD, or PVD processes.
