Bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element and integration to enhance drive current
摘要:
A semiconductor structure including a bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element is disclosed. The bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element can be integrated into any CMOS process flow. The bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element includes an implant damaged free first layer of a first epitaxy semiconductor material having a lattice constant that is different from a lattice constant of a semiconductor substrate and imparts a tensile strain in a device channel of an nFET gate stack. Typically, and when the semiconductor is composed of silicon, the first layer of the bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element is composed of Si:C. The bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element further includes a second layer of a second epitaxy semiconductor material that has a lower resistance to dopant diffusion than the first epitaxy semiconductor material. Typically, and when the semiconductor is composed of silicon, the second layer of the bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element is composed of silicon. Only the second layer of the bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element includes the implanted source/drain regions.
