摘要： A device and method for fabrication of fin devices for an integrated circuit includes forming fin structures in a semiconductor material of a semiconductor device wherein the semiconductor material is exposed on sidewalls of the fin structures. A donor material is epitaxially deposited on the exposed sidewalls of the fin structures. A condensation process is applied to move the donor material through the sidewalls into the semiconductor material such that accommodation of the donor material causes a strain in the semiconductor material of the fin structures. The donor material is removed, and a field effect transistor is formed from the fin structure.

摘要： A complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) optical sensor structure comprises a pixel containing a charge collection well of a same semiconductor material as a semiconductor layer in a semiconductor substrate and at least another pixel containing another charge collection well of a different semiconductor material than the material of the semiconductor layer. The charge collections wells have different band gaps, and consequently, generate charge carriers in response to light having different wavelengths. The CMOS sensor structure thus includes at least two pixels responding to light of different wavelengths, enabling wavelength-sensitive, or color-sensitive, capture of an optical data. Further, a design structure for the inventive complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor is also provided.

摘要： A deep trench is formed in a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and a pad layer thereupon. A conductive trench fill region is formed in the deep trench. A planarizing material layer having etch selectivity relative to the pad layer is applied. A portion of the pad layer having an edge that is vertically coincident with a sidewall of the deep trench is exposed by lithographic means. Exposed portion of the pad layer are removed selective to the planarizing material layer, followed by removal of exposed portion of a semiconductor layer selective to the conductive trench fill region by an anisotropic etch. The planarizing material layer is removed and a shallow trench isolation structure having a lower sidewall that is self-aligned to an edge of the original deep trench is formed. Another shallow trench isolation structure may be formed outside the deep trench concurrently.

摘要： A method for processing CMOS wells, and performing multiple ion implantations with the use of a single hard mask is disclosed. The method includes forming and patterning a hardmask over a substrate, whereby the hardmask attains a first opening. The substrate may be a semiconductor substrate. The method further includes performing a first ion implantation, during which, outside the first opening the hardmask is essentially preventing ions from reaching the substrate. The method further involves the application of a photoresist in such a manner that the photoresist is covering the hardmask, and it is also filling up the first opening. This is followed by using the photoresist to pattern the hardmask, whereby the hardmask attains a second opening. The method further includes performing a second ion implantation, during which, outside the second opening, the hardmask and the photoresist, which fills the first opening, are essentially preventing ions from reaching the substrate. The two ion implantations may be used to form the two type of CMOS wells.

摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of a method of forming, on an SOI wafer, a planar FET with embedded and faceted source/drain stressors. The method incorporates a directional ion implant process to create amorphous regions at the bottom surfaces of source/drain recesses in a single crystalline semiconductor layer of an SOI wafer. Then, an etch process selective to different crystalline planes over others and further selective to single crystalline semiconductor material over amorphous semiconductor material can be performed in order to selectively adjust the shape (i.e., the profile) of the recess sidewalls without increasing the depth of the recesses. Subsequently, an anneal process can be performed to re-crystallize the amorphous regions and an epitaxial deposition process can be used to fill the recesses with source/drain stressor material. Also disclosed are embodiments of a planar FET structure and a design structure for the planar FET.

Each of the three different kinds of devices have an individually optimized threshold value. A method for fabricating a circuit structure is also disclosed, which method involves defining portions in SOI respectively for three different kinds of devices: for a planar NFET device, for a planar PFET device, and for a FinFET device.
