    Abstract: After formation of a gate structure and a gate spacer, portions of an insulator layer underlying a semiconductor fin are etched to physically expose semiconductor surfaces of an underlying semiconductor material layer from underneath a source region and a drain region. Each of the extended source region and the extended drain region includes an anchored single crystalline semiconductor material portion that is in epitaxial alignment to the single crystalline semiconductor structure of the underlying semiconductor material layer and laterally applying a stress to the semiconductor fin. Because each anchored single crystalline semiconductor material portion is in epitaxial alignment with the underlying semiconductor material layer, the channel of the fin field effect transistor is effectively stressed along the lengthwise direction of the semiconductor fin.

    Abstract: Merged and unmerged raised active regions on semiconductor fins can be simultaneously formed on a same substrate by control of growth rates of a deposited semiconductor material on surfaces of the semiconductor fins. In one embodiment, a growth-rate-retarding dopant can be implanted by angled ion implantation onto sidewall surfaces of first semiconductor fins on which retardation of growth rates is desired, while second semiconductor fins are masked by a masking layer. In another embodiment, a growth-rate-enhancing dopant can be implanted by ion implantation onto sidewall surfaces of second semiconductor fins, while first semiconductor fins are masked by a masking layer. The differential growth rates of the deposited semiconductor material can cause raised active regions on the first semiconductor fins to remain unmerged, and raised active regions on the second semiconductor fins to become merged.

    Abstract: A conformal doping process for FinFET devices on a semiconductor substrate which includes NFET fins and PFET fins. In a first exemplary embodiment, an N-type dopant composition is conformally deposited over the NFET fins and the PFET fins. The semiconductor substrate is annealed to drive in an N-type dopant from the N-type dopant composition into the NFET fins. A P-type dopant composition is conformally deposited over the NFET fins and the PFET fins. The semiconductor substrate is annealed to drive in a P-type dopant from the P-type dopant composition into the PFET fins. In a second exemplary embodiment, one of the NFETfins and PFET fins may be covered with a first dopant composition and then a second dopant composition may cover both the NFET fins and the PFET fins followed by an anneal to drive in both dopants.
