Method for improving thermal stability of metal gate |
摘要 |
The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device that includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate structure on the substrate, the gate structure including a dummy gate, removing the dummy gate from the gate structure thereby forming a trench, forming a work function metal layer partially filling the trench, forming a fill metal layer filling a remainder of the trench, performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to remove portions of the metal layers outside the trench, and implanting Si, C, or Ge into a remaining portion of the fill metal layer. |

1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device comprising:
providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a gate structure on the substrate, the gate structure including a dummy gate, an interfacial layer, and a dielectric layer; removing the dummy gate from the gate structure thereby forming a trench, such that the dielectric layer remains within the trench; forming a work function metal layer partially filling the trench, the work function metal layer formed over the dielectric layer; forming a fill metal layer filling a remainder of the trench; performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to remove portions of the metal layers outside the trench; and implanting one of Si, C, and Ge into a remaining portion of the fill metal layer. |
