    摘要: A semiconductor device has at least two tensile stressor layers that are cured with UV radiation. A second tensile stressor layer is formed after a first stressor layer. In some examples, the tensile stressor layers include silicon nitride and hydrogen. In some examples, the second tensile stressor layer has a greater shrinkage percentage due to the curing than the first tensile stressor layer. In one form, the second tensile stressor layer after the curing exerts a greater tensile stress than the first tensile stressor layer. The tensile stressors layers are utilized to improve carrier mobility in an N-channel transistor and thus enhance transistor performance. In one form a single group of overlying tensile stressor layers is provided with each layer being increasingly thicker and having increasingly more hydrogen prior to being cured. In other embodiments multiple overlying groups are formed, each group having a similar repeating depth and hydrogen profile.

    摘要: An electronic device can include a first transistor structure including a first gate electrode surrounded by a first sidewall spacer having a first stress and a second transistor structure including a second gate electrode surrounding a second sidewall spacer having second stress. The first sidewall spacer is an only sidewall spacer surrounding the first gate electrode or a closer sidewall spacer as compared to any other sidewall spacer that surrounds the first gate electrode and the second sidewall spacer is an only sidewall spacer surrounding the second gate electrode or a closer sidewall spacer as compared to any other sidewall spacer that surrounds the second gate electrode, wherein the first stress has a lower value as compared to the second stress. More than one process can be used to form the electronic device.

    摘要: An electronic device can include a transistor structure of a first conductivity type, a field isolation region, and a layer of a first stress type overlying the field isolation region. For example, the transistor structure may be a p-channel transistor structure and the first stress type may be tensile, or the transistor structure may be an n-channel transistor structure and the first stress type may be compressive. The transistor structure can include a channel region that lies within an active region. An edge of the active region includes the interface between the channel region and the field isolation region. From a top view, the layer can include an edge the lies near the edge of the active region. The positional relationship between the edges can affect carrier mobility within the channel region of the transistor structure.
