    Abstract: A multilayer source provides charge carriers to a multitier channel connector. The source includes a metal silicide layer on a substrate and a metal nitride layer between the metal silicide layer and the channel. The metal silicide and the metal nitride are processed without an intervening oxide layer between them. In one embodiment, the source further includes a silicon layer between the metal nitride layer and the channel. The silicon layer can also be processed without an intervening oxide layer. Thus, the source does not have an intervening oxide layer from the substrate to the channel.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a transistor gate with a conductive element that includes cobalt silicide includes use of a sacrificial material as a place-holder between sidewall spacers of the transistor gate until after high temperature processes, such as the fabrication of raised source and drain regions, have been completed. In addition, semiconductor devices (e.g., DRAM devices and NAND flash memory devices) with transistor gates that include cobalt silicide in their conductive elements are also disclosed, as are transistors with raised source and drain regions and cobalt silicide in the transistor gates thereof. Intermediate semiconductor device structures that include transistor gates with sacrificial material or a gap between upper portions of sidewall spacers are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming charge storage transistor gates and standard FET gates in which common processing is utilized for fabrication of at least some portions of the different types of gates. FET and charge storage transistor gate stacks may be formed. The gate stacks may each include a gate material, an insulative material, and a sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is removed from the FET and charge storage transistor gate stacks. The insulative material of the FET gate stacks is etched through. A conductive material is formed over the FET gate stacks and over the charge storage transistor gate stacks. The conductive material physically contacts the gate material of the FET gate stacks, and is separated from the gate material of the charge storage transistor gate stacks by the insulative material remaining in the charge storage transistor gate stacks. Some embodiments include gate structures.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming isolation structures. A semiconductor base may be provided to have a crystalline semiconductor material projection between a pair of openings. SOD material (such as, for example, polysilazane) may be flowed within said openings to fill the openings. After the openings are filled with the SOD material, one or more dopant species may be implanted into the projection to amorphize the crystalline semiconductor material within an upper portion of said projection. The SOD material may then be annealed at a temperature of at least about 400° C. to form isolation structures. Some embodiments include semiconductor constructions that include a semiconductor material base having a projection between a pair of openings. The projection may have an upper region over a lower region, with the upper region being at least 75% amorphous, and with the lower region being entirely crystalline.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device, such as a CMOS device, having gates with a high work function in PMOS regions and low work functions in NMOS regions and a method of producing the same. Using nitrogen implantation or plasma annealing, a low work function W (or CoSix)/TaSixNy/GOx/Si gate stack is formed in the NMOS regions while a high work function W (or CoSix)/Ta5Si3/GOx/Si gate stack is formed in the PMOS regions. The improved process also eliminates the need for a nitrided GOx which is known to degrade gm (transconductance) performance. The materials of the semiconductor devices exhibit improved adhesion characteristics to adjacent materials and low internal stress.
