    Abstract: Despite improvements in FinFETs and strained silicon devices, transistors continue to suffer performance degradation as device dimensions shrink. These include, in particular, leakage of charge between the semiconducting channel and the substrate. An isolated channel FinFET device prevents channel-to-substrate leakage by inserting an insulating layer between the channel (fin) and the substrate. The insulating layer isolates the fin from the substrate both physically and electrically. To form the isolated FinFET device, an array of bi-layer fins can be grown epitaxially from the silicon surface, between nitride columns that provide localized insulation between adjacent fins. Then, the lower fin layer can be removed, while leaving the upper fin layer, thus yielding an interdigitated array of nitride columns and semiconducting fins suspended above the silicon surface. A resulting gap underneath the upper fin layer can then be filled in with oxide to isolate the array of fin channels from the substrate.

    Abstract: The presence of a facet or a void in an epitaxially grown crystal indicates that crystal growth has been interrupted by defects or by certain material boundaries. Faceting can be suppressed during epitaxial growth of silicon compounds that form source and drain regions of strained silicon transistors. It has been observed that faceting can occur when epitaxial layers of certain silicon compounds are grown adjacent to an oxide boundary, but faceting does not occur when the epitaxial layer is grown adjacent to a silicon boundary or adjacent to a nitride boundary. Because epitaxial growth of silicon compounds is often necessary in the vicinity of isolation trenches that are filled with oxide, techniques for suppression of faceting in these areas are of particular interest. One such technique, presented herein, is to line the isolation trenches with SiN to provide a barrier between the oxide and the region in which epitaxial growth is intended.
