    摘要: Disclosed is a design structure for an improved semiconductor structure (e.g., a silicon germanium (SiGe) hetero-junction bipolar transistor) having a narrow essentially interstitial-free SIC pedestal with minimal overlap of the extrinsic base. Also, disclosed is a method of forming the transistor which uses laser annealing, as opposed to rapid thermal annealing, of the SIC pedestal to produce both a narrow SIC pedestal and an essentially interstitial-free collector. Thus, the resulting SiGe HBT transistor can be produced with narrower base and collector space-charge regions than can be achieved with conventional technology.

    摘要: A disposable spacer is formed directly on or in close proximity to the sidewalls of a gate electrode and a gate dielectric. The disposable spacer comprises a material that scavenges oxygen such as a metal, a metal nitride, or a semiconductor material having high reactivity with oxygen. The disposable gate spacer absorbs any oxygen during subsequent high temperature processing such as a stress memorization anneal. A metal is deposited over, and reacted with, the gate electrode and source and drain regions to form metal semiconductor alloy regions. The disposable gate spacer is subsequently removed selective to the metal semiconductor alloy regions. A porous or non-porous low-k dielectric material is deposited to provide a low parasitic capacitance between the gate electrode and the source and drain regions. The gate dielectric maintains the original dielectric constant since the disposable gate spacer prevents absorption of additional oxygen during high temperature processes.

    摘要: A first dielectric layer is formed over a PFET gate and an NFET gate, and lithographically patterned to expose a PFET area, while covering an NFET area. Exposed PFET active area is etched and refilled with a SiGe alloy, which applies a uniaxial compressive stress to a PFET channel. A second dielectric layer is formed over the PFET gate and the NFET gate, and lithographically patterned to expose the NFET area, while covering the PFET area. Exposed NFET active area is etched and refilled with a silicon-carbon alloy, which applies a uniaxial tensile stress to an NFET channel. Dopants may be introduced into the SiGe and silicon-carbon regions by in-situ doping or by ion implantation.

    摘要: Source and drain extension regions are selectively removed by a dopant concentration dependent etch or a doping type dependent etch, and an embedded stress-generating material such as SiGe alloy or a Si:C alloy in the source and drain extension regions is grown on a semiconductor substrate. The embedded stress-generating material may be grown only in the source and drain extension regions, or in the source and drain extension regions and in deep source and drain regions. In one embodiment, an etch process that removes doped semiconductor regions of one conductivity type selective to doped semiconductor regions of another conductivity type may be employed. In another embodiment, a dopant concentration dependent etch process that removes doped semiconductor regions irrespective of the conductivity type selective to undoped semiconductor regions may be employed.

    摘要: A method of forming an isolation region using porous silicon and a related structure are disclosed. One embodiment of the method may include forming a collector region; forming a porous silicon region in the collector region; forming a crystalline silicon intrinsic base layer over the collector region, the intrinsic base layer extending over a portion of the porous silicon region to form an extrinsic base; and forming an isolation region in the porous silicon region. The method is applicable to forming an HBT having a structure including a crystalline silicon intrinsic base extending beyond a collector region and extending over an isolation region to form a continuous intrinsic-to-extrinsic base conduction path of low resistance. The HBT has improved performance by having a smaller collector to intrinsic base interface and larger intrinsic base to extrinsic base interface.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate having transistor structures and test structures with spacing between the transistor structures smaller than the spacing between the test structures is provided. A first iteratively performed deposition and etch process includes: depositing a first doped epitaxial layer having a first concentration of a dopant over the semiconductor substrate, and etching the first doped epitaxial layer. A second iteratively performed deposition and etch process includes: depositing a second doped epitaxial layer having a second concentration of the dopant higher than the first concentration over the semiconductor substrate, and etching the second doped epitaxial layer. The first concentration results in a first net growth rate over the transistor structures and the second concentration results in a lower, second net growth rate over the test structures than the transistor structures, resulting in reduced pattern loading.
