摘要:
A semiconductor transistor includes a semiconductor substrate with an original surface, an active region, a shallow trench isolation region, a shallow trench isolation region, a first conductive region and a second conductive region located within the active region, and a spacer. The active region is formed based on the semiconductor substrate and the active region has a fin structure. The shallow trench isolation region surrounds the active region and a gate structure of the semiconductor transistor crosses over the fin structure. The spacer contacts to a sidewall of the gate structure and on the fin structure. A width of the fin structure under the spacer is wider than that of the fin structure under the gate structure, the fin structure has a lateral profile along a direction substantially parallel to the original surface, and the lateral profile of the fin structure includes a rounded corner under the spacer.

Techniques are disclosed for achieving multiple fin dimensions on a single die or semiconductor substrate. In some cases, multiple fin dimensions are achieved by lithographically defining (e.g., hardmasking and patterning) areas to be trimmed using a trim etch process, leaving the remainder of the die unaffected. In some such cases, the trim etch is performed on only the channel regions of the fins, when such channel regions are re-exposed during a replacement gate process. The trim etch may narrow the width of the fins being trimmed (or just the channel region of such fins) by 2-6 nm, for example. Alternatively, or in addition, the trim may reduce the height of the fins. The techniques can include any number of patterning and trimming processes to enable a variety of fin dimensions and/or fin channel dimensions on a given die, which may be useful for integrated circuit and system-on-chip (SOC) applications.

摘要:
A dual width SOI FinFET is disclosed in which different portions of a strained fin have different widths. A method of fabrication of such a dual width FinFET entails laterally recessing the strained fin in the source and drain regions using a wet chemical etching process so as to maintain a high degree of strain in the fin while trimming the widths of fin portions in the source and drain regions to less than 5 nm. The resulting FinFET features a wide portion of the fin in the channel region underneath the gate, and a narrower portion of the fin in the source and drain regions. An advantage of the narrower fin is that it can be more easily doped during the growth of the epitaxial raised source and drain regions.

These fins have a central channel region and source (60) and drain (62) regions on opposite sides of the channel region. The thicker gate dielectrics (504) can comprise multiple layers of dielectric (200, 500) and the thinner gate dielectrics (502) can comprise less layers of dielectric (200). A cap (116) comprising a different material than the gate dielectrics can be positioned over the fins.
