A method may include forming a gate electrode over a fin structure, depositing a first metal layer on a top surface of the gate electrode, performing a first silicide process to convert a portion of the gate electrode into a metal-silicide compound, depositing a second metal layer on a top surface of the metal-silicide compound, and performing a second silicide process to form a fully-silicided gate electrode.

A thin filmed fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (SOI) metal oxide semiconductor field defect transistor (MOSFET) utilizes a local insulation structure. The local insulative structure includes a buried silicon dioxide region under the channel region. The MOSFET body thickness is very small and yet silicon available outside of the channel region and buried silicon dioxide region is available for sufficient depths of silicide in the source and drain regions. The buried silicon dioxide region can be formed by a trench isolation technique or a LOCOS technique.

A dual doped CMOS gate structure utilizes a nitrogen implant to suppress dopant inter-diffusion. The nitrogen implant is provided above standard trench isolation structures. Alternatively, an oxygen implant can be utilized. The use of the implant allows an increase in packing density for ultra-large-scale integrated (ULSI) circuits. The doping for N-channel and P-channel active regions can be completed when the polysilicon gate structures are doped.

An ultra-large-scale integrated (ULSI) circuit includes MOSFETs which have different threshold voltages and yet have the same channel characteristics. The MOSFETs include gate structures with a polysilicon material. The polysilicon material is implanted with lower concentrations of germanium where lower threshold voltage MOSFETs are required. Over a range of 0-60% concentration of germanium, the threshold voltage can be varied by roughly 240 mV.

A method for forming fin structures for a semiconductor device that includes a substrate and a dielectric layer formed on the substrate is provided. The method includes etching the dielectric layer to form a first structure, depositing an amorphous silicon layer over the first structure, and etching the amorphous silicon layer to form second and third fin structures adjacent first and second side surfaces of the first structure. The second and third fin structures may include amorphous silicon material. The method further includes depositing a metal layer on upper surfaces of the second and third fin structures, performing a metal-induced crystallization operation to convert the amorphous silicon material of the second and third fin structures to a crystalline silicon material, and removing the first structure.

A non-volatile memory device includes a substrate, an insulating layer, a fin, an oxide layer, spacers and one or more control gates. The insulating layer is formed on the substrate and the fin is formed on the insulating layer. The oxide layer is formed on the fin and acts as a tunnel oxide for the memory device. The spacers are formed adjacent the side surfaces of the fin and the control gates are formed adjacent the spacers. The spacers act as floating gate electrodes for the non-volatile memory device.

A method of fabricating an integrated circuit with ultra-shallow source/drain junctions utilizes a solid-phase impurity source. The solid-phase impurity source can be a doped silicon dioxide layer approximately 300 nm thick. The structure is thermally annealed to drive dopants from the solid-phase impurity source into the source and drain regions. The dopants from the impurity source provide ultra-shallow source and drain extensions. The process can be utilized for P-channel or N-channel metal oxide field semiconductor effect transistors (MOSFETS).
