Popis: We report on gate patterning development for the 45 nm node and beyond. Both poly-Si and different metal gates in combination with medium- k and high- k dielectrics have been defined. Source/drain silicon recess has been characterized for different stacks, yielding optimised processes for all investigated. Using hardmask based etching allowed us to produce sub-20 nm poly-Si and metal gates. Implementation of advanced metal gate patterning in already developed multi-gate field effect transistors (MuGFET) devices has been demonstrated.
