摘要： Bridging between nickel suicide layers on a gate electrode and source/drain regions along silicon nitride sidewall spacers is prevented by treating the exposed surfaces of the silicon nitride sidewall spacers with a nitrogen plasma to create a surface region having reduced free silicon.

摘要： Micro-miniaturized semiconductor devices are fabricated with silicon-rich tantalum silicon nitride replacement metal gate electrodes. Embodiments include removing a removable gate, depositing a layer of tantalum nitride, as by PVD at a thickness of 25 Å to 75 Å, and then introducing silicon into the deposited tantalum nitride layer by thermal soaking in silane or silane plasma treatment to form a layer of silicon-rich tantalum silicon nitride. In another embodiment, the intermediate structure is subjected to thermal soaking in silane or silane plasma treatment before and after depositing the tantalum nitride layer. Embodiments further include pretreating the intermediate structure with silane prior to depositing the tantalum nitride layer, treating the deposited tantalum nitride layer with silane, and repeating these steps a number of times to form a plurality of sub-layers of silicon-rich tantalum silicon nitride.

摘要： A self-aligned silicide process that can accommodate a low thermal budget and form silicide regions of small dimensions in a controlled reaction. In a first temperature treatment, nickel metal or nickel alloy is reacted with a silicon material to form at least one high resistance nickel silicide region. Unreacted nickel is removed. A dielectric layer is then deposited over a high resistance nickel silicide regions. In a second temperature treatment, the at least one high resistance nickel silicide region and dielectric layer are reacted at a prescribed temperature to form at least one low resistance silicide region and process the dielectric layer. Bridging between regions is avoided by the two-step process as silicide growth is controlled, and unreacted nickel between silicide regions is removed after the first temperature treatment. The processing of the high resistance nickel silicide regions and the dielectric layer are conveniently combined into a single temperature treatment.

摘要： A method for forming a semiconductor structure removes the temporary gate formed on the dielectric layer to expose a recess in which oxygen-rich CVD oxide is deposited. A tantalum layer is then deposited by low-power physical vapor deposition on the CVD oxide. Annealing is then performed to create a Ta2O5 region and a Ta region from the deposited oxide and Ta. This creates a low carbon-content Ta2O5 and a metallic Ta gate in a single process step.

摘要： Salicide processing is implemented with nitrogen-rich silicon nitride sidewall spacers that allow a metal silicide layer e.g., NiSi, to be formed over the polysilicon gate electrode and source/drain regions using salicide technology without associated bridging between the metal silicide layer on the gate electrode and the metal silicide layers over the source/drain regions. Bridging between a metal silicide e.g., nickel silicide, layer on a gate electrode and metal silicide layers on associated source/drain regions is avoided by forming nitrogen-rich silicon nitride sidewall spacers with increased nitrogen, thereby eliminating free Si available to react with the metal subsequently deposited and thus avoiding the formation of metal silicide on the sidewall spacers.

摘要： A method of forming a fully silicidized gate of a semiconductor device includes forming silicide in active regions and a portion of a gate. A shield layer is blanket deposited over the device. The top surface of the gate electrode is then exposed. A refractory metal layer is deposited and annealing is performed to cause the metal to react with the gate and fully silicidize the gate, with the shield layer protecting the active regions of the device from further silicidization to thereby prevent spiking and current leakage in the active regions.
