    摘要: Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided. In an embodiment, a method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes simultaneously shielding a shielded region of a semiconductor substrate and exposing a surface of the shielded region of the semiconductor substrate. An ion implantation is performed to form implant areas in a non-shielded region of the semiconductor substrate adjacent the shielded region. Also, the semiconductor substrate is silicided to form a silicided area in the shielded region of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a stress enhanced CMOS circuit includes forming a first plurality of MOS transistors at a first pitch and forming a second plurality of MOS transistors at a second pitch. The second pitch is larger than the first pitch. The method further includes depositing a single stress liner overlying the first and second plurality of MOS transistors. The single stress liner is the only stress liner deposited in the fabrication of the stress enhanced CMOS circuit.

    摘要: Sophisticated transistors for semiconductor devices may be formed on the basis of a superior process sequence in which an increased space between closely spaced gate electrode structures may be obtained in combination with a reduced material loss in the active regions. To this end, an offset spacer conventionally used for laterally profiling the drain and source extension regions is omitted and the spacer for the deep drain and source areas may be completely removed.

    摘要: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit having a FinFET structure includes providing a semiconductor substrate comprising silicon and a high carrier mobility material, forming one or more fin structures on the semiconductor substrate, and subjecting the substrate to a condensation process for the condensation of the high carrier mobility material. The condensation process results in the formation of condensed fin structures formed substantially entirely of the high carrier mobility material and a layer of silicon oxide formed over the condensed fin structures. The method further includes removing the silicon oxide formed over the condensed fin structures so as to expose the condensed fin structures.
