Dai之’’Monolithic Integration of Carbon Nanotube Devices with Silicon Mos Technology’’,4,第 123-127 頁, (2004)中。該方法首先製造Si MOS電路,包括數個互連 層,且隨後在該電路之頂部生長碳奈米管。為使用化學氣 相沈積(chemical vapor deposition,CVD)生長高品質單壁 碳奈米管(S WNT),通常需要900°C或以上之生長溫度。該 等高溫往往會破壞標準Si MOS電路,包括(但不限於)Si 128819.doc 200847241 MOS電路中通常使用之互連金屬(cu)。出於該原因,該先 前技術方法使用耐熔金屬(Mo)用於互連,其不為si MOS工 業方法中之標準物且具有比Cu高之電阻率。因此,Mo並 非Si MOS電路之理想互連材料,且該整合si CMOS與CNT FET之方法具有重大障礙。 整合Si CMOS與CNT FET之另一方法包括SWNT CVD技 術,其在預先存在之Si CMOS電路之頂部合成SWNT,如 "Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes at Low Temperatures’’,M.

Y· Wang及 J· Robertson,論⑽ Le你rs,6,1107-1112, (2006)中所述。該方法具有所合成之SWNT可能會具有高得 多的缺陷密度的障礙,其將會使SWNT FET器件產生較低 移動性且因此產生較低速度。 試圖整合CNT與CMOS方法之另一方法包括將奈米管溶 解於溶液中,且隨後由溶液技術沈積於預製造Si CMOS電 路上而將其置放於適當位置。該方法之溶解奈米管不合需 要,因為其通常會充滿缺陷,此又限制CNT FET器件之移 動性且最終限制其速度。 【發明内容】 根據本揭示案之一特徵,提供一種以與後續工業標準 CMOS加工步驟相容之方式製造具有電接點及介電質之奈 米管塗佈晶圓的方法。 在本發明揭示案之一或多個實施例中,提供一種製造 128819.doc 200847241200847241 IX. INSTRUCTIONS: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates generally to the field of nanotube coated wafers and, more particularly, to manufacturing compatible with subsequent industry standard CMOS processing steps. A method of coating a wafer with an electrical contact and a dielectric nanotube. [Prior Art] Carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistor (FET) device, single-walled nanotube (Singie waiied nanotube 'SWNT) and multi-walled nanotube (multiwalled nanotube, MWNT) has a bright future in electronics. In some applications, CNT FET performance is superior to Si CMOS performance, especially in analog applications that require high frequency, high power density, high linearity, and low noise. However, Si CMOS is a well-developed and well-developed technology that is superior to carbon nanotube devices in terms of other metrics, especially in terms of digital logic and circuit density. Previous efforts to integrate Si CMOS and CNT FETs to take advantage of the benefits associated with both technologies have encountered many obstacles. One such prior art method is described in the paper Y. C. Tseng, P. Q. Xuan, A. Javey, R. Malloy, Q. Wang, J. Bokor and H. J. Dai's Monolithic Integration of Carbon Nanotube Devices With Silicon Mos Technology'', 4, pp. 123-127, (2004). The method first fabricates a Si MOS circuit comprising a plurality of interconnect layers and subsequently growing a carbon nanotube on top of the circuit. In order to grow high quality single-walled carbon nanotubes (S WNT) using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), a growth temperature of 900 ° C or higher is usually required. These high temperatures tend to damage standard Si MOS circuits, including, but not limited to, the interconnect metal (cu) commonly used in MOS circuits in Si 128819.doc 200847241. For this reason, the prior art method uses a refractory metal (Mo) for interconnection, which is not a standard in the si MOS industrial process and has a higher resistivity than Cu. Therefore, Mo is not an ideal interconnect material for Si MOS circuits, and this method of integrating si CMOS and CNT FETs has major obstacles. Another method of integrating Si CMOS and CNT FETs involves SWNT CVD, which synthesizes SWNTs on top of pre-existing Si CMOS circuits, such as "Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes at Low Temperatures'', M. Cantoro , S. Hofmann, S. Pisana, V. Scardaci, A. Parvez, C. Ducati, AC Ferrari, AM Blackburn, K. Y· Wang and J. Robertson, on (10) Le you rs, 6, 1107-1112, ( Said in 2006). This approach has the barrier that the synthesized SWNTs may have much higher defect densities that will cause the SWNT FET devices to produce lower mobility and therefore lower speeds. Another method of attempting to integrate CNT and CMOS methods involves dissolving the nanotubes in solution and then depositing them on a pre-fabricated Si CMOS circuit by solution techniques and placing them in place. The dissolved nanotubes of this method are undesirable because they are often full of defects, which in turn limits the mobility of the CNT FET device and ultimately limits its speed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with one feature of the present disclosure, a method of fabricating a wafer coated with an electrical contact and a dielectric nanotube in a manner compatible with subsequent industry standard CMOS processing steps is provided. In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a fabrication is provided 128819.doc 200847241

[Embodiment] A similar reference object will become more apparent in the drawings. The industry standard CMOS is added to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the following description. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a method of fabricating a wafer having electrical contacts and dielectric nanotubes that are compatible with subsequent processing steps 128819.doc 200847241. In the following description, numerous embodiments are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that these and other examples can be implemented without such details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail in order not to obscure the invention. In one or more embodiments, a method of fabricating a nanotube coated wafer will be described with reference to a cross-sectional view in the process flow diagram illustrated in Figure -6. Initially, a pad-type dielectric 102 is deposited on a clean bare (Si) wafer 1 by an industry standard method, wherein the pad dielectric 1 〇 2 may comprise an oxide, a nitride or a semi-amp; Other dielectric materials commonly used in the body industry. In one embodiment, the wafer 100 contains 150 mm p-type <100> 3663 n_cm si. However, it should be understood that the wafer 100 can be formed of any type of other wafer material commonly used in the "::1" method. The wafer 102 will include the nanotube circuit region 104 and the CMOS circuit region 106. Catalyst 108 is deposited on a portion of the pad dielectric 1〇2 in the nanotube circuit region 104, wherein the catalyst log is effective to promote the synthesis of the nanotubes. In one or the case, the catalyst 1 〇8 Containing a transition metal such as Bu, Chuan or Cu. The slave is deposited on the mat dielectric 102 adjacent to the catalyst 1〇8 using an industry standard method (for example, using cVD technology). Ιι〇 can comprise any type of nanotubes including, but not limited to, carbon nanotubes (CNT), single-walled nanotubes (swNT) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT). Deposited on nanotubes 110 Electrical contact 112 (e.g., another metal commonly used in Pd or nanotubes). In one embodiment, a layer of copper or any other industry standard metal (not shown) may be deposited on electrical contact 12 The electrical contact 112 is prevented from being exposed during post-processing of the wafer 128819.doc 200847241 100. Subsequent to the nanotube circuit area 10 4 and a surface of the CMOS circuit region 106 is deposited with a protective layer 114. The protective layer 114 may comprise a nitride layer, such as another protective material commonly used in siN or CMOS methods. In one or more embodiments, the 'protective layer 114 Acting as an electrical layer of a nanotube device (such as a transistor) that requires a gate. In one or more embodiments, the protective layer i 14 acts as a wafer to prevent the nanotube 110 from being fabricated in a conventional CM 〇S manufacturing process. A protective layer that is destroyed during subsequent processing on the crucible. For example, the protective layer bucket provides protection against acid (HF) cleaning steps and other CM〇s processes. The protective layer 14 further prevents subsequent exposure of the CMOS processing equipment used in the (:) 8 process step to any novel material that would not normally be encountered in the CM〇s method. In this manner, the protective layer 114 is included Subsequent materials that are typically encountered in the CMOS processing steps and act as a barrier to the material in the nanotube circuit region 下方04 under the protective layer ΐ4. In one or more embodiments, the above processing steps are completed to form the nanotubes After the components of circuit area 104 The CMOS circuit area 〇6 will not contain any nano-110, but only the industry standard materials commonly used in CMOS methods (for example, only materials such as Si/Si〇2/SiN). In addition, the nanotube circuit The region 104 will be covered by a protective layer 114 comprising a material that is also commonly used by the CMOS process. Thus, a nanotube coating having an electrical contact 112 and a dielectric 114 is formed in accordance with one or more embodiments described herein. Wafer 100 is then compatible with any post-production industry standard CMOS processing steps. An example of an industry standard CMOS method is the CMOS method used by UC Berkeley Microlab 'as stored at http://microlabZberkeley.edu/baseline, 128819.
