摘要
This paper investigates low temperature cleaning steps solutions (T degrees < 30 degrees) developed to enhance the 65 nm transistor performance. A complete cleaning recipes optimization is realized in term of silicon consumption and defectiveness for pre-furnace clean (RCA or HFRCA), post gate etch clean PGEC (HF-SPM-SC1) and post ash clean PAC (SPM-SC1) operations. The silicon recess and the dopants consumption are reduced by using low temperature SC1 steps. Transistor drivability is improved by 8% and 7% for NMOS and PMOS respectively.
