在隔离物侧壁上形成含SiOCl的层,以防止间隔物蚀刻期间的CD损失

Formation of SiOCl-containing layer on spacer sidewalls to prevent CD loss during spacer etch
Abstract:
A method for performing a spacer etch process is described. The method includes conformally applying a spacer material over a gate structure on a substrate, and performing a spacer etch process sequence to partially remove the spacer material from the gate structure and the substrate, while retaining a sidewall spacer positioned along a sidewall of the gate structure. The spacer etch process sequence may include depositing a SiOCl-containing layer on an exposed surface of the spacer material to form a spacer protection layer.
