    Abstract: Diodes and fabrication methods thereof are presented. The diodes include, for instance: a first semiconductor region disposed at least partially within a substrate, the first semiconductor region having a first conductivity type; and a second semiconductor region disposed at least partially within the first semiconductor region, the second semiconductor region having a second conductivity type, wherein the first semiconductor region separates the second semiconductor region from the substrate.

    Abstract: Methods are providing for fabricating transistors having at least one source region or drain region with a stressed portion. The methods include: forming, within a cavity of a substrate structure, the at least one source region or drain region with the internal stress; and resurfacing the at least one source region or drain region to reduce surface defects of the at least one source region or drain region without relaxing the stressed portion thereof. For instance, the resurfacing can include melting an upper portion of the at least one source region or drain region. In addition, the resurfacing can include re-crystallizing an upper portion of the at least one source region or drain region, and/or providing the at least one source region or drain region with at least one {111} surface.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved shallow trench isolation structure and method of fabrication. The shallow trench isolation cavity includes an upper region having a sigma cavity shape, and a lower region having a substantially rectangular cross-section. The lower region is filled with a first material having good gap fill properties. The sigma cavity is filled with a second material having good stress-inducing properties. In some embodiments, source/drain stressor cavities may be eliminated, with the stress provided by the shallow trench isolation structure. In other embodiments, the stress from the shallow trench isolation structure may be used to complement or counteract stress from a source/drain stressor region of an adjacent transistor. This enables precise tuning of channel stress to achieve a desired carrier mobility for a transistor.

    Abstract: Fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) devices and methods of forming the same are provided herein. In an embodiment, a FinFET device includes a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of fins disposed in parallel relationship. A first insulator layer overlies the semiconductor substrate, with the fins extending through and protruding beyond the first insulator layer to provide exposed fin portions. A gate electrode structure overlies the exposed fin portions and is electrically insulated from the fins by a gate insulating layer. Epitaxially-grown source regions and drain regions are disposed adjacent to the gate electrode structure. The epitaxially-grown source regions and drain regions have an asymmetric profile along a lateral direction perpendicular to a length of the fins.
