发明名称 Oxidation and etching post metal gate CMP
摘要 A method includes forming a dummy gate of a transistor at a surface of a wafer, removing the dummy gate, and filling a metallic material into a trench left by the removed dummy gate. A Chemical Mechanical Polish (CMP) is then performed on the metallic material, wherein a remaining portion of the metallic material forms a metal gate of the transistor. After the CMP, a treatment is performed on an exposed top surface of the metal gate using an oxidation-and-etching agent comprising chlorine and oxygen.

主权项 1. A method comprising: forming a dummy gate of a transistor at a surface of a wafer; removing the dummy gate; filling a metallic material into a trench left by the removed dummy gate to form a metal gate; performing a treatment on a top surface of the metal gate using an oxidation-and-etching agent comprising chlorine and oxygen; and forming a dielectric layer over the treated metal gate.
