Abstract:
A method for fabricating enhanced-mobility pFET devices having channel lengths below 50 nm. Gates for pFETs may be patterned in dense arrays on a semiconductor substrate that includes shallow trench isolation (STI) structures. Partially-enclosed voids in the semiconductor substrate may be formed at source and drain regions for the gates, and subsequently filled with epitaxially-grown semiconductor that compressively stresses channel regions below the gates. Some of the gates (dummy gates) may extend over edges of the STI structures to prevent undesirable faceting of the epitaxial material in the source and drain regions.
