DEPOSITING AN ETCH STOP LAYER BEFORE A DUMMY CAP LAYER TO IMPROVE GATE PERFORMANCE

摘要

An improved method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes: depositing a dielectric layer on a substrate; depositing a first cap layer on the dielectric layer; depositing an etch stop layer on the dielectric layer; and depositing a dummy cap layer on the etch stop layer to form a partial gate structure. Also provided is a partially formed semiconductor device. The partially formed semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a dielectric layer on the substrate; a first cap layer on the dielectric layer; an etch stop layer on the dielectric layer; and a dummy cap layer on the etch stop layer forming a partial gate structure.
