    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits may be fabricated with NMOS and PMOS transistors having different gate dielectrics. The dielectrics may be different in terms of the materials used, their thicknesses, or the techniques used to form the gate dielectrics, to mention a few examples. As a result, the gate dielectric can be tailored to the particular type of transistor, be it an NMOS or PMOS transistor, as the case may be.
  • Referring to FIG. 1, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an initial semiconductor structure 10 includes a semiconductor substrate 12 having an insulator 14 formed thereon with trenches filled by dummy gate materials 16 and 18. The dummy gate materials 16 and 18, in one embodiment, may be doped polysilicon, for example.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, the dummy gate material 16 has been removed. The removal of the dummy gate material 16 may be accomplished by masking, etch-out, or other methods. In an etch-out process, the material 16 may be selectively etched relative to the material 18. Thus, in one embodiment, the materials 16 and 18 may be different materials such that one may be etched selectively relative to the other. If an etchant, such as a wet etchant, is utilized which preferentially attacks the material 16, the material 16 can be selectively etched while the material 18 remains.
  • For example, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the material 16 may be an N-doped polysilicon, while the material 18 is a P-doped polysilicon. An etchant such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) or NH4 0H, together with sonication, may be utilized to selectively etch one of the materials 16 or 18, while not significantly etching the other material. Depending on the choice of wet etchant utilized to etch the material 16 or 18, one of the dummy gate materials 16 and 18 can be etched while the other one is substantially unetched. Then the other or remaining gate material 16 or 18 may be removed.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a dielectric 22 may be formed on the substrate 12 in the opening 20 creating by the removal of the gate material 16. In one embodiment, the dielectric 22 can be selected to have characteristics to optimize the performance of either an NMOS or PMOS transistor to be formed in the region 20. For example, the gate dielectric 22 material, thickness or formation technique may be tailored for its particular application.
  • For example, the NMOS transistor may use a larger conduction band offset material, such as silicon dioxide, and the PMOS transistor may use a material with a higher dielectric constant, such as hafnium dioxide, which also happens to have good band offset for holes. Higher dielectric constants may be greater than ten in one embodiment. As another example, a thicker material may be utilized for the NMOS than the PMOS transistors in some cases. For example, hafnium dioxide leaks electrons more than holes, so a thicker hafnium dioxide layer may be utilized on the NMOS transistors and a thinner hafnium dioxide layer may be utilized on the PMOS transistors. For example, in one embodiment, the hafnium dioxide gate dielectric may be 30 Angstroms for the NMOS transistors and 15 Angstroms for the gate dielectric for PMOS transistors.
  • As still another example, the deposition techniques may be different for the two gate dielectrics. For example, materials for the NMOS transistor, such as silicon dioxide, may be deposited using diffusion techniques, while atomic layer deposition, sputtering, or metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) may be utilized to deposit high dielectric constant materials such as hafnium dioxide.
  • One gate dielectric may be a high-k material (having a dielectric constant greater than 10) and the other may be a low-k material (having a dielectric constant less than 10). Alternatively, both dielectrics may be high-k or both may be low-k dielectrics.
  • The appropriate gate electrode material 24 may then be deposited over the gate dielectric 22 in the opening 20 created by the removal of the material 16.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, a gate electrode material 24 may be deposited over the gate dielectric 22. The material 24 may be any conductive material, including doped polysilicon or metal. The material may be deposited using any suitable technique.
  • Referring to FIG. 5, the gate material 18 may be selectively removed. The selective removal may again be accomplished using selective etching, masking, or any other method to remove the material 18, while leaving the material 24.
  • Then, as shown in FIG. 6, a gate dielectric 28 may be formed in the opening 26 created by the removal of the material 18. Again, the characteristics of the gate dielectric 28 may be optimized for its particular application, be it for a PMOS or an NMOS transistor. For example, its thickness, formation technique, or the material utilized may be selected to optimize the performance of the ultimate transistor.
  • In some embodiments of the present invention, it may be desirable to ensure that the material 18 is selectively etchable relative to the material 24. For example, selective etching may be based on the fact that the materials 18 and 24 are of a different material type.
  • Referring to FIG. 7, an appropriate gate electrode material 30 may then be formed in the opening 26 over the gate dielectric 28. In some embodiments, the gate materials 24 and 30 may be doped polysilicon, may include silicide, or may be a metal.
  • In some embodiments, a single gate dielectric material may not provide the highest performance for both NMOS and PMOS structures. This may be due, for example, to poor band offset with conduction or valence bonds, incompatibility to the gate electrode material, incompatibility with gate electrode processing or thickness requirements. By selecting the better candidate dielectric film for each structure, and depositing the best film with the optimal thickness, higher performance complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices may be created in some embodiments. By using better gate dielectric material of optimal thickness for each electrode stack, higher performance structures may be created that may exhibit higher mobility, higher saturation current, or better threshold voltage in some embodiments.
  • While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.
