    Abstract: A method of forming a metal semiconductor alloy that includes forming an intermixed metal semiconductor region to a first depth of a semiconductor substrate without thermal diffusion. The intermixed metal semiconductor region is annealed to form a textured metal semiconductor alloy. A second metal layer is formed on the textured metal semiconductor alloy. The second metal layer on the textured metal semiconductor alloy is then annealed to form a metal semiconductor alloy contact, in which metal elements from the second metal layer are diffused through the textured metal semiconductor alloy to provide a templated metal semiconductor alloy. The templated metal semiconductor alloy includes a grain size that is greater than 2× for the metal semiconductor alloy, which has a thickness ranging from 15 nm to 50 nm.

    Abstract: Metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) contacts for germanium and its alloys include insulator layers of oxygen-deficient metal oxide deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The oxygen deficiency reduces the tunnel barrier resistance of the insulator layer while maintaining the layer's ability to prevent Fermi-level pinning at the metal/semiconductor interface. The oxygen deficiency is controlled by optimizing one or more ALD parameters such as shortened oxidant pulses, use of less-reactive oxidants such as water, heating the substrate during deposition, TMA “cleaning” of native oxide before deposition, and annealing after deposition. Secondary factors include reduced process-chamber pressure, cooled oxidant, and shortened pulses of the metal precursor.

    Abstract: A short channel semiconductor device is formed with halo regions that are separated from the bottom of the gate electrode and from each other. Embodiments include implanting halo regions after forming source/drain regions and source/drain extension regions. An embodiment includes forming source/drain extension regions in a substrate, forming source/drain regions in the substrate, forming halo regions under the source/drain extension regions, after forming the source drain regions, and forming a gate electrode on the substrate between the source/drain regions. By forming the halo regions after the high temperature processing involved informing the source/drain and source/drain extension regions, halo diffusion is minimized, thereby maintaining sufficient distance between halo regions and reducing short channel NMOS Vt roll-off.
