▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Forming an airgap in a semiconductor structure involves forming a high-k material on a floor of a trench, where the trench is defined on a semiconductor substrate between sidewalls of a first material and a spacer material. The gate structure is formed on the high-k material where the gate structure contacts the first material along each sidewall of the trench. The first material is etched, where the etching forms an airgap adjacent the gate structure. USE - Method for forming an airgap in a semiconductor structure os used to produce high quality devices and structures. ADVANTAGE - The parasitic capacitance in the semiconductor structure may be reduced by forming an airgap between a gate structure and a spacer material. Additionally, because a material between the gate structure and the spacer material may have a low dielectric constant, relative to a high-k material disposed between the gate structure and the substrate, selective deposition of the high-k material on the floor of the trench may also provide a reduction of parasitic capacitance. These and other embodiments, along with many of their advantages and features, are described in more detail in conjunction with the below description and attached figures.
