Methods for introducing carbon to a semiconductor structure
An embodiment is a method comprising diffusing carbon through a surface of a substrate, implanting carbon through the surface of the substrate, and annealing the substrate after the diffusing the carbon and implanting the carbon through the surface of the substrate. The substrate comprises a first gate, a gate spacer, an etch stop layer, and an inter-layer dielectric. The first gate is over a semiconductor substrate. The gate spacer is along a sidewall of the first gate. The etch stop layer is on a surface of the gate spacer and over a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The inter-layer dielectric is over the etch stop layer. The surface of the substrate comprises a surface of the inter-layer dielectric.
