Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method of forming a compressive stress nitride film overlying a plurality of p-type field effect transistor gate structures produced on a substrate through a high-density plasma deposition process. Embodiments include generating an environment filled with high-density plasma using source gases of at least silane, argon and nitrogen; biasing the substrate to a high frequency power of varying density, in a range between 0.8 W/cm2 and 5.0 W/cm2; and depositing the high-density plasma to the plurality of gate structures to form the compressive stress nitride film.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated circuit that uses a process consolidation combining the substitution gate process using a three-layer hard mask consumed during the process and source/drain silicides. SOLUTION: In the process, a first temporary gate sidewall spacer defines a rising source/drain formation area, a second temporary spacer defines a source/drain injection and source/drain silicification area, and the temporary gate is protected from being silicified by the hard mask.
