Fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a strained semiconductor material (SSM) layer disposed on a dielectric layer, forming a first plurality of fins on the SSOI structure, at least one fin of the first plurality of fins is in a nFET region and at least one fin is in a pFET region, etching portions of the dielectric layer under portions of the SSM layer of the at least one fin in the pFET region, filling areas cleared by the etching, forming a second plurality of fins from the at least one fin in the nFET region such that each fin comprises a portion of the SSM layer disposed on the dielectric layer, and forming a third plurality of fins from the at least one fin in the pFET region such that each fin comprises a portion of the SSM layer disposed on a flowable oxide.

A method for fabricating a dual silicide device includes growing source and drain (S/D) regions for an N-type device, forming a protection layer over a gate structure and the S/D regions of the N-type device and growing S/D regions for a P-type device. A first dielectric layer is conformally deposited and portions removed to expose the S/D regions. Exposed S/D regions for the P-type device are silicided to form a liner. A second dielectric layer is conformally deposited. A dielectric fill is formed over the second dielectric layer. Contact holes are opened through the second dielectric layer to expose the liner for the P-type device and expose the protection layer for the N-type device. The S/D regions for the N-type device are exposed by opening the protection layer. Exposed S/D regions adjacent to the gate structure are silicided to form a liner for the N-type device. Contacts are formed.

Dummy gates are removed from a pre-metal layer to produce a first opening (with a first length) and a second opening (with a second length longer than the first length). Work function metal for a metal gate electrode is provided in the first and second openings. Tungsten is deposited to fill the first opening and conformally line the second opening, thus leaving a third opening. The thickness of the tungsten layer substantially equals the length of the first opening. The third opening is filled with an insulating material. The tungsten is then recessed in both the first and second openings using a dry etch to substantially a same depth from a top surface of the pre-metal layer to complete the metal gate electrode. Openings left following the recess operation are then filled with a dielectric material forming a cap on the gate stack which includes the metal gate electrode.

A technique relates to fabricating a macro for measurements utilized in dual spacer, dual epitaxial transistor devices. The macro is fabricated according to a fabrication process. The macro is a test layout of a semiconductor structure having n-p bumps at junctions between NFET areas and PFET areas. Optical critical dimension (OCD) spectroscopy is performed to obtain the measurements of the n-p bumps on the macro. An amount of chemical mechanical polishing is determined to remove the n-p bumps on the macro based on the measurements of the n-p bumps on the macro. Chemical mechanical polishing is performed to remove the n-p bumps on the macro. The amount previously determined for the macro is utilized to perform chemical mechanical polishing for each of the dual spacer, dual epitaxial layer transistor devices having been fabricated under the fabrication process of the macro in which the fabrication process produced the n-p bumps.

In forming a finFET, a selective nitridation process is used during spacer formation on the gate to support a finer fin pitch than could be achieved using traditional spacer deposition processes. The spacer formation may also allow precise control over formation of source and drain junctions.

An integrated circuit transistor is formed on a substrate. A trench in the substrate is at least partially filed with a metal material to form a source (or drain) contact buried in the substrate. The substrate further includes a source (or drain) region in the substrate which is in electrical connection with the source (or drain) contact. The substrate further includes a channel region adjacent to the source (or drain) region. A gate dielectric is provided on top of the channel region and a gate electrode is provided on top of the gate dielectric. The substrate may be of the silicon on insulator (SOI) or bulk type. The buried source (or drain) contact makes electrical connection to a side of the source (or drain) region using a junction provided at a same level of the substrate as the source (or drain) and channel regions.

A method for forming an integrated circuit having a test macro using a multiple patterning lithography process (MPLP) is provided. The method includes forming an active area of the test macro having a first and second gate region during a first step of MPLP, and forming a first and second source/drain regions in the active area during a second step of the MPLP. The method also includes forming a first contact connected to the first gate region, a second contact connected to the second gate region, a third contact connected to the first source/drain region, and a forth contact connected to the source/drain region and determining if an overlay shift occurred between the first step and the second step of the step of the MPLP by testing for a short between one or more of the first contact, the second contact, the third contact, or the fourth contact.
