  • Publication number: 20130102145
    Abstract: A metal gate process includes the following steps. An isolating layer on a substrate is provided, where the isolating layer has a first recess and a second recess. A first metal layer covering the first recess and the second recess is formed. A material is filled in the first recess but exposing a top part of the first recess. The first metal layer in the top part of the first recess and in the second recess is simultaneously removed. The material is removed. A second metal layer and a metal gate layer in the first recess and the second recess are sequentially filled.

  • Publication number: 20120244669
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing semiconductor device having metal gates. First, a substrate is provided. A first conductive type transistor having a first sacrifice gate and a second conductive type transistor having a second sacrifice gate are disposed on the substrate. The first sacrifice gate is removed to form a first trench. Then, a first metal layer is formed in the first trench. The second sacrifice gate is removed to form a second trench. Next, a second metal layer is formed in the first trench and the second trench. Lastly, a third metal layer is formed on the second metal layer wherein the third metal layer is filled into the first trench and the second trench.

  • Patent number: 8273642
    Abstract: A SiC region and a source/drain region are formed such that the SiC region includes a first portion overlapping the source/drain region and a second portion protruding from the source/drain region to a position beneath the LDD region. The concentration of crystalline SiC in the second portion is higher than the concentration of crystalline SiC in the first portion. The SiC region may be formed through a normal implantation before the second spacer is formed, or the SiC region may be formed through a tilt implantation or deposition epitaxially in a recess having a sigma-shape like sidewall after the second spacer is formed.
