Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fabricate an extremely shallow junction by forming a first insulation sidewall spacer on the sidewall in the gate region of a semiconductor substrate, forming a second insulation spacer in the first insulation spacer and then silicificating the upper surface of the source-drain region. SOLUTION: An insulation layer 2, a conductive layer 3 and a second insulation layer 4 are provided sequentially on a semiconductor substrate 1. The second insulation layer 4 and the conductive layer 3 are then etched and a selected part is removed and a third insulation layer 5 is provided thereon. Subsequently, the insulation layer 2 and the third insulation layer 5 are removed while leaving the insulator on the sidewall of the conductive layer 3 as a gate, thus forming an insulation sidewall spacer 9 on the sidewall of the gate conductive layer 3. Thereafter, a second insulation spacer 10 is formed on the sidewall spacer 9 and the part there not covered with the second insulation spacer 10 is removed. Finally, the source-drain region is silicified to form a metal silicide 12.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method for a semiconductor device gate structure having an internal spacer. SOLUTION: The manufacturing method includes replacement gate process, in which a part of a substrate is exposed by removing material in a gate region, gate dielectric is formed on an exposed portion of the substrate, and an internal spacer layer which covers the gate dielectric and dielectric material is formed. Next, a silicon layer which covers the internal spacer layer is formed. Next, the formed structure is planarized, and a part of the silicon layer and a part of the internal spacer layer are made to remain in the gate region. Next, a silicide gate structure is formed by using the silicon, and the silicide gate structure is separated from the dielectric material around the gate with the internal spacer layer. The semiconductor device can include a first gate region and a second gate region, between which an interface covered by the internal spacer layer is formed. When the device has two gate regions, separate silicide structures, which are separated with the internal spacer layer, can be generated by applying the above process to both the gate regions.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of producing one metal replacement gate or two metal replacement gate for a semiconductor device. SOLUTION: This structure contains silicide contacts with a gate region. A part of a substrate is exposed, by removing a dummy gate structure and a sacrificial gate dielectric, and a gate dielectric is formed on the exposed part. A metal layer is formed so as to cover the gate dielectric and dielectric materials. This metal layer, if it is convenient, can be made of a blanket metal layer covering a device wafer. Next, a silicon layer is formed so as to cover the metal layer. This layer can be also made of a blanket layer. Next, the top face of the dielectric materials is exposed, by performing flatting or etch back process. Other parts of the metal layer and the silicon layer remain in a gate region 11, and there is provided a front surface, having the same plane as the top face of the dielectric materials. Next, there are formed the silicide contacts, which are in contact with the metal layer in the gate region 11. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
