To avoid the metal material of metal gates from impacting the other structures of MOS transistor, the metal gates with The gate stack structure of high-k gate dielectric layer generallys use rear grid technique (gate-last) production.In the process, to be formed Gate location be initially formed the dummy grid being made of materials such as polysilicons, and after forming source-drain area, the puppet can be removed Grid simultaneously forms gate openings in the position of dummy grid, and then fills metal gates in the gate openings.Due to metal Grid is made again after the completion of source-drain area injects, this is reduced the quantity of subsequent process steps, avoids metal Material is unsuitable for the problem of carrying out high-temperature process.
However, the forming method of existing MOS transistor, during removing dummy grid, what is generallyd use is continuous wave (continuous wave, CW) plasma etch process.But continuous wave plasma etch process is removing width not With dummy grid when, will form the different opening of depth.
