Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a complementary metal oxide semiconductor integration process that allows a plurality of silicide metal gates to be prepared on a gate dielectric.SOLUTION: There is provided a CMOS silicide metal gate integration method capable of eliminating a demerit of generation of variations in the height of poly Si gate stock which varies a silicide metal gate phase. The integration method minimizes the complexity of the process, thereby restraining the manufacturing cost of a CMOS transistor from increasing.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a field effect transistor to be accurately specified in channel length, lessened in source and drain resistance, and minimized in overlap capacitance, by a method wherein a gate hole is demarcated on a dielectric stack, an attached side wall layer is removed from a horizontal plane, and the gate hole is filled up with a gate conductor. SOLUTION: An etching window which is nearly equal in lateral dimension to a gate pillar that is specified in dimensions by a resist mask is provided to a dielectric stack which comprises nitride layers 31 and 38. An RIE process for forming a gate hole is used for transferring the etching window to the dielectric stack. Then, the gate hole is demarcated-by an RIE method, a side wall layer is attached and then removed from a horizontal plane. By this setup, the gate hole is lessened in length by a residual side wall spacer 61. Then, polysilicon is deposited inside the gate hole and on a dielectric stack uppermost layer 38, and the dielectric stack uppermost layer 38 is exposed by flattening the deposited polysilicon.

Abstract:
An ultra thin SOl MOSFET device structure and method of fabrication is presented. The device has a terminal (20) composed o suicide, which terminal is forming a Schottky contact with the channel (30). A plurality of impurities (70) are segregated on the silicide/channel interface (60), and these segregated impurities determine the resistance of the Schottky contact. Such impurity segregation is achieved by a so called silicidation induced impurity segregation process. Silicon substitutional impurities are appropriate for accomplishing such a segregation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a complementary metal oxide semiconductor integration process whereby a plurality of silicided metal gates are fabricated atop a gate dielectric. Each silicided metal gate that is formed using the integration scheme of the present invention has the same silicide metal phase and substantially the same height, regardless of the dimension of the silicide metal gate. The present invention also provides various methods of forming a CMOS structure having silicided contacts in which the polySi gate heights are substantially the same across the entire surface of a semiconductor structure.
Abstract:
A method for the formation of field effect transistors (FETs), and more particularly metal oxide field effect transistors (MOSFETs), comprising the steps of: forming a dielectric stack on a semiconductor structure; defining an etch window on the dielectric stack; defining a gate hole in the dielectric stack by transferring the etch window into the dielectric stack using a reactive ion etching (RIE) process; depositing a side wall layer; removing the side wall layer from horizontal surfaces of the dielectric stack and gate hole such that side wall spacers remain which reduce the lateral size of the gate hole; depositing a gate conductor such that it fills the gate hole; removing the gate conductor covering the portions of the semiconductor structure surrounding the gate hole; removing at least part of the dielectric stack; and removing the side wall spacers.
