摘要: A method includes forming a dummy gate stack over a semiconductor region, forming a source/drain region on a side of the dummy gate stack, removing the dummy gate stack to form a trench, forming a gate dielectric layer extending into the trench and on the semiconductor region, and depositing a fist work-function layer over the gate dielectric layer. The work-function layer comprises a metal selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, molybdenum, and combinations thereof. The method further includes depositing a conductive filling layer over the first work-function layer, and performing a planarization process to remove excess portions of the conductive filling layer, the first work-function layer, and the gate dielectric layer to form a gate stack.

摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to forming an effective metal diffusion barrier in sidewalls of epitaxy source/drain regions. In an embodiment, a structure includes an active area having a source/drain region on a substrate, a dielectric layer over the active area and having a sidewall aligned with the sidewall of the source/drain region, and a conductive feature along the sidewall of the dielectric layer to the source/drain region. The source/drain region has a sidewall and a lateral surface extending laterally from the sidewall of the source/drain region, and the source/drain region further includes a nitrided region extending laterally from the sidewall of the source/drain region into the source/drain region. The conductive feature includes a silicide region along the lateral surface of the source/drain region and along at least a portion of the sidewall of the source/drain region.

摘要: A method includes forming a dielectric layer over a source/drain region. An opening is formed in the dielectric layer. The opening exposes a portion of the source/drain region. A conductive liner is formed on sidewalls and a bottom of the opening. A surface modification process is performed on an exposed surface of the conductive liner. The surface modification process forms a surface coating layer over the conductive liner. The surface coating layer is removed to expose the conductive liner. The conductive liner is removed from the sidewalls of the opening. The opening is filled with a conductive material in a bottom-up manner. The conductive material is in physical contact with a remaining portion of the conductive liner and the dielectric layer.
