    Abstract: The CMOS field effect transistors, used in microprocessors and other digital VLSI circuits, face major challenges such as thin gate dielectrics leakage and scaling limits, severe short channel effects, limited performance improvement with scaling, complicated fabrication process with added special techniques, and surface mobility degradation. This disclosure proposes a new CMOS-compatible optoelectronic transistor. The current is much higher than the MOS transistors, due to the high carrier mobility with bulk transportation. The optoelectronic transistors are scalable to the sub-nanometer ranges without short channel effects. It is also suitable for low power applications and ULSI circuits. The new transistor consists of a laser or LED diode as drain or source, and a photo sensor diode (avalanche photo diode) as source or drain. The transistor is turned on by applying a gate voltage, similar to the CMOS transistors, and a laser or LED light signal is sent to the nearby photo diode, causing an avalanche breakdown and high drain current. The transistor is surrounded by dielectrics and metal isolations, which serve as a metal box or cavity, so the generated laser or LED lights are confined and reflected back from the metal. The drain current increases exponentially with the drain or gate voltage. This exponential drain current vs. drain or gate voltage characteristics makes the optoelectronic transistor run much faster than the transitional linear MOSFET.The optic transistor current-voltage characteristics are totally different from transitional CMOS transistors.

    Abstract: Thin effective gate oxide thickness with reduced leakage for replacement metal gate transistors is achieved by forming a protective layer between the gate oxide layer and metal gate electrode, thereby reducing stress. Embodiments include forming a protective layer of amorphous carbon containing metal carbides decreasing in concentration from the metal gate electrode toward the gate oxide layer across the protective layer. Embodiments of methodology include removing the removable gate, depositing a layer of amorphous carbon on the gate oxide layer, forming the metal gate electrode and then heating at an elevated temperature to diffuse metal from the metal gate electrode into the amorphous carbon layer, thereby forming the metal carbides. Embodiments also include metal gate transistors with a gate oxide layer having a high dielectric constant and silicon concentrated at the interfaces with the metal gate electrode and substrate.

An interconnect layer fills an upper portion of each contact opening and is in direct contact with the conductive fill material. The interconnect layer is also in direct contact with corresponding source regions along upper sidewalls of the contact openings.
