An ultra-shallow surface channel MOS transistor and method for fabricating the same have been provided. The method comprises: forming CMOS source and drain regions, and an intervening well region; depositing a surface channel on the surface overlying the well region; forming a high-k dielectric overlying the surface channel; and, forming a gate electrode overlying the high-k dielectric. Typically, the surface channel is a metal oxide, and may be one of the following materials: indium oxide (In2O3), ZnO, RuO, ITO, or LaX-1SrXCoO3. In some aspects, the method further comprises: depositing a placeholder material overlying the surface channel; and, etching the placeholder material to form a gate region overlying the surface channel. In one aspect, the high-k dielectric is deposited prior to the deposition of the placeholder material. Alternately, the high-k dielectric is deposited following the etching of the placeholder material.

摘要:
A dry etch process is described for selectively etching silicon nitride from conductive oxide material for use in a semiconductor fabrication process. Adding an oxidant in the etch gas mixture could increase the etch rate for the silicon nitride while reducing the etch rate for the conductive oxide, resulting in improving etch selectivity. The disclosed selective etch process is well suited for ferroelectric memory device fabrication using conductive oxide/ferroelectric interface having silicon nitride as the encapsulated material for the ferroelectric.
