Recessed workfunction metal in CMOS transistor gates

Abstract:

A transistor gate comprises a substrate having a pair of spacers disposed on a surface, a high-k dielectric conformally deposited on the substrate between the spacers, a recessed workfunction metal conformally deposited on the high-k dielectric and along a portion of the spacer sidewalls, a second workfunction metal conformally deposited on the recessed workfunction metal, and an electrode metal deposited on the second workfunction metal. The transistor gate may be formed by conformally depositing the high-k dielectric into a trench between the spacers on the substrate, conformally depositing a workfunction metal atop the high-k dielectric, depositing a sacrificial mask atop the workfunction metal, etching a portion of the sacrificial mask to expose a portion of the workfunction metal, and etching the exposed portion of the workfunction metal to form the recessed workfunction metal. The second workfunction metal and the electrode metal may be deposited atop the recessed workfunction metal.

Abstract(Chinese):

晶体管栅极包括具有设置在表面上的一对间隔物的衬底，在隔离体之间保形地沉积在衬底上的高k电介质，共形沉积在高k电介质上并沿着间隔壁侧壁的一部分的凹陷功函数金属保形地沉积在凹陷功函数金属上的第二功函件金属和沉积在第二功函数金属上的电极金属。晶体管栅极可以通过将高k电介质保形地沉积到衬底上的间隔物之间的沟槽中而形成，从而在高k电介质顶部上共形沉积功函数金属，在功函数金属顶部沉积牺牲掩模，蚀刻部分牺牲掩模以暴露所述功函数金属的一部分，以及蚀刻所述功函数金属的暴露部分以形成所述凹陷功函数金属。第二功函数金属和电极金属可沉积在凹陷功函数金属顶上。
