Abstract: A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit incorporating a substrate and a gate wire over the substrate. The substrate comprises an n-type field effect transistor (n-FET) region, a p-type field effect transistor (p-FET) region and an isolation region disposed between the n-FET and p-FET regions. The gate wire comprises an n-FET gate, a p-FET gate, and gate material extending transversely from the n-FET gate across the isolation region to the p-FET gate. A first conformal insulator covers the gate wire and a second conformal insulator is on the first conformal insulator positioned over the p-FET gate without extending laterally over the n-FET gate. Straining regions for producing different types of strain are formed in recess etched into the n-FET and p-FET regions of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device can include the following steps: (i) providing an initial sub-assembly including a trench-defining layer having a top surface; (ii) refining the initial sub-assembly into a first trench-cut intermediate sub-assembly by removing material to form an upper tier of a trench extending downward from the top surface of the trench-defining layer, the upper tier of the trench including two lateral trench surfaces and a bottom trench surface; and (iii) refining the first trench-cut intermediate sub-assembly into a second trench-cut intermediate sub-assembly by selectively removing material in a downwards direction starting from the bottom surface of the trench to form a lower tier of the trench, with the selective removal of material leaving at least a first defect blocking member in the lower tier of the trench.

Abstract: Semiconductor device fabrication method and structures are provided having a substrate structure which includes a silicon layer at an upper portion. The silicon layer is recessed in a first region of the substrate structure and remains unrecessed in a second region of the substrate structure. A protective layer having a first germanium concentration is formed above the recessed silicon layer in the first region, which extends along a sidewall of the unrecessed silicon layer of the second region. A semiconductor layer having a second germanium concentration is disposed above the protective layer in the first region of the substrate structure, where the first germanium concentration of the protective layer inhibits lateral diffusion of the second germanium concentration from the semiconductor layer in the first region into the unrecessed silicon layer in the second region of the substrate structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to semiconductor devices and more particularly, to a structure and method of forming a high-mobility fin field effect transistor (finFET) fin in a silicon semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate by trapping crystalline lattice dislocations that occur during epitaxial growth in a recess formed in a semiconductor layer. The crystalline lattice dislocations may remain trapped below a thin isolation layer, thereby reducing device thickness and the need for high-aspect ratio etching and fin formation.
