Then, referring to FIG. 3D, the metal tungsten silicide layer 316 on the virtual gate structure 3 丨, the polycrystalline silicon layer 308 and the virtual layer 306 in the virtual gate structure 31 are sequentially removed to sequentially An opening 3 2 0 is formed in the spacer 3 丨 2, and the erasing method uses an anisotropic dry etching method. At this time, an ion implantation step can be performed on the pH semiconductor substrate 300 through the opening 3 2 0 to adjust the threshold voltage value of the channel or form a pouch-like anti-ion breakdown region. Next, as shown in FIG. 3e, the semiconductor substrate 300 at the bottom of the opening 32 is oxidized to form a thin gate oxide layer 3 2 2. For example, silicon in the semiconductor substrate 3 0 is reacted with oxygen by a thermal oxidation method. A thin gate oxide layer is formed. Then, in order to make the subsequent deposited metals, such as the town and the city, have better adhesion ability, or to avoid the peak phenomenon of aluminum and stone, a good barrier is formed on the opening 3 2 0 side wall and the gate oxide layer 322. The barrier layer 323 with adhesion ability is deposited by, for example, a DC sputtering method. The material of the barrier layer 323 is, for example, titanium nitride or tungsten nitride. Next, a metal conductor layer 324 is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 318 and fills the opening 320. Subsequently, the metal conductor layer on the interlayer dielectric layer 318 is removed, so a metal gate 326 is formed on the active region 302, for example, by etch back or chemical mechanical polishing. The metal gate transistor manufactured by the method for manufacturing the metal gate transistor provided by the present invention has the following advantages: (1). The method for manufacturing the metal gate transistor provided by the present invention will be more traditional The manufacturing process is convenient because the surface of the semiconductor substrate located at the bottom of the virtual gate structure can be directly exposed after the dummy layer is removed.

Description of the invention (11) Use the ion implantation method to perform an ion implantation step on the semiconductor substrate through the opening to adjust the threshold voltage value of the channel or form a bag-like anti-ion breakdown area. (2). Since the present invention uses a metal conductor layer instead of the polycrystalline silicon layer, as the conductor layer of the gate transistor, so the empty effect phenomenon of the polycrystalline silicon gate transistor does not occur, so the transistor The performance is also better than that of complex crystal idler transistor. (3). Since the present invention uses a metal conductor layer instead of the polycrystalline silicon layer, the gate oxide layer formed is also thinner than the gate oxide layer used for the polycrystalline silicon gate transistor. When the conductor is used as the conductor layer, the gate oxide layer becomes heavier. When a voltage is applied to the gate electrode, the gate oxide layer can penetrate through the gate oxide layer more easily, so that the transistor can perform better. To the metal conductor layer, the electrons will not stay in the metal conductor layer, and there is a problem of leakage current β (4). In the metal gate transistor made by the present invention, when the metal conductor layer is made of crane 'Has a fairly low resistivity (~ 1 ohm / sq)' so it can be used as a good metal interconnect conductor. (5) Using the metal gate transistor manufactured by the present invention can greatly reduce the area of word lines / bit lines over a long distance in a memory circuit. (6). In the process of preparing the metal gate transistor of the present invention, the thermal process used does not have a large amount of thermal budget, even when using Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA). m 〇 In summary, the metal gate transistor proposed by the present invention has a comparative
