Semiconductor device having/ gate with negative slope and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

A semiconductor device having a gate with a negative slope and a method of manufacturing the same. A poly-SiGe layer with a Ge density profile which decreases linearly from the bottom of the gate toward the top of the gate is formed and a poly-SiGe gate having a negative slope is formed by patterning the poly-SiGe layer. It is possible to form a gate whose bottom is shorter than its top defined by photolithography by taking advantage of the variation of etching characteristics with Ge density when patterning. Accordingly, the gate is compact enough for a short channel device and gate resistance can be reduced.
