    Abstract: Insulating layers can be formed over a semiconductor device region and etched in a manner that substantially reduces or prevents the amount of etching of the underlying channel region. A first insulating layer can be formed over a gate region and a semiconductor device region. A second insulating layer can be formed over the first insulating layer. A third insulating layer can be formed over the second insulating layer. A portion of the third insulating layer can be etched using a first etching process. A portion of the first and second insulating layers beneath the etched portion of the third insulating layer can be etched using at least a second etching process different from the first etching process.

    Abstract: A method of making a semiconductor device includes forming a sacrificial layer above a semiconductor layer. Portions of the sacrificial layer are selectively removed to define a first set of spaced apart sacrificial fins over a first region of the semiconductor layer, and a second set of spaced apart sacrificial fins over a second region of the semiconductor layer. An isolation trench is formed in the semiconductor layer between the first and second regions. The isolation trench and spaces are filled with a dielectric material. The first and second sets of sacrificial fins are removed to define respective first and second sets of fin openings. The first set of fin openings is filled to define a first set of semiconductor fins for a first conductivity-type transistor, and the second set of fin openings is filled to define a second set of semiconductor fins for a second conductivity-type transistor.

    Abstract: On a substrate formed of a first semiconductor layer, an insulating layer and a second semiconductor layer, a silicon oxide pad layer and a silicon nitride pad layer are deposited and patterned to define a mask. The mask is used to open a trench through the first semiconductor layer and insulating layer and into the second semiconductor layer. A dual liner of silicon dioxide and silicon nitride is conformally deposited within the trench. The trench is filled with silicon dioxide. A hydrofluoric acid etch removes the silicon nitride pad layer along with a portion of the conformal silicon nitride liner. A hot phosphoric acid etch removes the silicon oxide pad layer, a portion of the silicon oxide filling the trench and a portion of the conformal silicon nitride liner. The dual liner protects against substrate etch through at an edge of the trench between the first and second semiconductor layers.

    Abstract: Methods and structures for forming fully insulated finFETs beginning with a bulk semiconductor substrate are described. Fin structures for finFETs may be formed in two epitaxial layers that are grown over a bulk substrate. A first epitaxial layer may be sacrificial. A final gate structure may be formed around the fin structures, and the first epitaxial layer removed to form a void between a fin and the substrate. The void may be filled with an insulator to fully insulate the fin.

    Abstract: A transistor includes a body and a semiconductor region configured to stress a portion of the body. For example, stressing a channel of the transistor may increase the mobility of carriers in the channel, and thus may reduce the “on” resistance of the transistor. For example, the substrate, source/drain regions, or both the substrate and source/drain regions of a PFET may be doped to compressively stress the channel so as to increase the mobility of holes in the channel. Or, the substrate, source/drain regions, or both the substrate and source/drain regions of an NFET may be doped to tensile stress the channel so as to increase the mobility of electrons in the channel.

    Abstract: Improved fin field effect transistor (FinFET) devices and methods for fabrication thereof. In one aspect, a method for fabricating a FinFET device comprises: a silicon substrate on which a silicon epitaxial layer is grown is provided. Sacrificial structures on the substrate are formed from the epitaxial layer. A blanket silicon layer is formed over the sacrificial structures and exposed substrate portions, the blanket silicon layer having upper and lower portions of uniform thickness and intermediate portions interposed between the upper and lower portions of non-uniform thickness and having an angle of formation. An array of semiconducting fins is formed from the blanket silicon layer and a non-conformal layer formed over the blanket layer. The sacrificial structures are removed and the resulting void filled with isolation structures under the channel regions. Source and drain are formed in the source/drain regions during a fin merge of the FinFET.
