Directional pre-clean in silicide and contact formation |
摘要 |
A method includes etching a dielectric layer to form an opening, with an underlying region underlying the dielectric layer exposed to the opening, and performing a bombardment to bombard a surface region of the underlying region through the opening. After the bombardment, the surface region is reacted with a process gas to form a reaction layer. An anneal is then performed to remove the reaction layer. |

1. A method comprising:
etching a dielectric layer at a surface of a wafer to form an opening, with an underlying region underlying the dielectric layer exposed to the opening; performing a bombardment to simultaneously bombard a first surface region of the dielectric layer and a second surface region of the underlying region through the opening; and after the bombardment, reacting the first surface region and the second surface region with a process gas to form reaction layers, wherein during the reacting, the wafer is heated. |
