A method for fabricating a layer structure in a trench includes: simultaneously forming a dielectric film containing a Si—N bond on an upper surface, and a bottom surface and sidewalls of the trench, wherein a top / bottom portion of the film formed on the upper surface and the bottom surface and a sidewall portion of the film formed on the sidewalls are given different chemical resistance properties by bombardment of a plasma excited by applying voltage between two electrodes between which the substrate is place in parallel to the two electrodes; and substantially removing the sidewall portion of the film by wet etching which removes the sidewall portion of the film more predominantly than the top / bottom portion according to the different chemical resistance properties.

An advanced back-end-of-line (BEOL) metallization structure is disclosed. The structure includes a bilayer diffusion barrier or cap, where the first cap layer is formed of a dielectric material preferably deposited by a high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP CVD) process, and the second cap layer is formed of a dielectric material preferably deposited by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE CVD) process. A method for forming the BEOL metallization structure is also disclosed. The invention is particularly useful in interconnect structure comprising low-k dielectric material for the inter-layer dielectric (ILD) and copper for the conductors.

A power-delivery mechanism is provided in the present invention, which utilizes an element with airtight and flexible characteristics coupled to a power-generating unit so as to generate a motion in a specific direction. Besides, an apparatus of plasma -enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is also provided in the present invention, which comprises the power-delivery mechanism to load / unload a workpiece onto a stage for processing automatically. Meanwhile, the present invention also provides a height-adjusting unit and a position-indicating unit allowing the operator to adjust the distance between an upper electrode and a lower electrode of the PECVD so that the operator is capable of monitoring and adjusting the distance easily between the upper electrode and the lower electrode outside the chamber of the PECVD.

The present invention discloses a method for self-alignedly fabricating tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) based on planar process, thereby lowering requirements on a photolithography process for fabricating the planar TFET. In the method, the source region and the drain region of the TFET are not directly defined by photolithography; rather, they are defined by another dielectric film which locates over an active region and on both sides of the gate and which is different from the dielectric film that defines the channel region. The influence due to the alignment deviation among three times of photolithography process for defining the channel region, the source and the drain regions may be eliminated by selectively removing the dielectric film over the source and drain regions by wet etching. Therefore, a planar TFET may be fabricated self-alignedly based on this process, thereby the rigid requirements on the alignment deviation of the photolithography during the fabrication procedure of a planar TFET is alleviated, which facilitates to fabricate a planar TFET device with stable and reliable characteristics.
