摘要:
A method for fabricating a MOSFET (e.g., a PMOS FET) includes providing a semiconductor substrate having surface characterized by a (110) surface orientation or (110) sidewall surfaces, forming a gate structure on the surface, and forming a source extension and a drain extension in the semiconductor substrate asymmetrically positioned with respect to the gate structure. An ion implantation process is performed at a non-zero tilt angle. At least one spacer and the gate electrode mask a portion of the surface during the ion implantation process such that the source extension and drain extension are asymmetrically positioned with respect to the gate structure by an asymmetry measure.

A stressed field effect transistor and methods for its fabrication are provided. The field effect transistor comprises a silicon substrate with a gate insulator overlying the silicon substrate. A gate electrode overlies the gate insulator and defines a channel region in the silicon substrate underlying the gate electrode. A first silicon germanium region having a first thickness is embedded in the silicon substrate and contacts the channel region. A second silicon germanium region having a second thickness greater than the first thickness and spaced apart from the channel region is also embedded in the silicon substrate.

A method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor device on a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of narrow gate pitch transistors (NPTs) and wide gate pitch transistors (WPTs) are formed on and in the semiconductor substrate. The NPTs are spaced apart by a first distance, and the WPTs are spaced apart by a second distance greater than the first distance. A first stress liner layer is deposited overlying the NPTs, the WPTs and the semiconductor layer, an etch stop layer is deposited overlying the first stress liner layer, and a second stress liner layer is deposited overlying the etch stop layer. A portion of the second stress liner layer which overlies the WPTs is covered, and an exposed portion of the second stress liner layer which overlies the NPTs is removed to expose an exposed portion of the etch stop layer. The exposed portion of the etch stop layer which overlies the NPTs is removed.

A strain enhanced semiconductor device and methods for its fabrication are provided. One method comprises embedding a strain inducing semiconductor material in the source and drain regions of the device to induce a strain in the device channel. Thin metal silicide contacts are formed to the source and drain regions so as not to relieve the induced strain. A layer of conductive material is selectively deposited in contact with the thin metal silicide contacts, and metallized contacts are formed to the conductive material.
