Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a semiconductor element with a metal gate. Background technique
[0002] In the known semiconductor industry, polysilicon is widely used in semiconductor devices such as metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors as a standard gate material choice. However, as the size of MOS transistors continues to shrink, traditional polysilicon gates have problems such as boron penetration (boron penetration) that leads to device performance degradation and unavoidable depletion effects, making the equivalent gate dielectric The thickness of the electrical layer increases and the capacitance of the gate decreases, which in turn leads to the decline of the driving ability of the device and other difficulties. Therefore, the semiconductor industry is trying to use new gate materials, such as using work function metals to replace the traditional polysilicon gates, as a control electrode that matches the high-k (High...
