    摘要: Semiconductor devices (102) and fabrication methods (10) are provided, in which a nitride film (130) is formed over NMOS transistors to impart a tensile stress in all or a portion of the NMOS transistor to improve carrier mobility. The nitride layer (130) is initially deposited over the transistors at low temperature with high hydrogen content to provide a moderate tensile stress in the semiconductor body prior to back-end processing. Subsequent back-end thermal processing reduces the film hydrogen content and causes an increase in the applied tensile stress.

    摘要: Methods (50) are presented for transistor fabrication, in which first and second sidewall spacers (120a, 120b) are formed laterally outward from a gate structure (114), after which a source/drain region (116) is implanted. The method (50) further comprises removing all or a portion of the second sidewall spacer (120b) after implanting the source/drain region (116), where the remaining sidewall spacer (120a) is narrower following the source/drain implant to improve source/drain contact resistance and PMD gap fill, and to facilitate inducing stress in the transistor channel.

    摘要: A transistor is fabricated upon a semiconductor substrate, where the yield strength or elasticity of the substrate is enhanced or otherwise adapted. A strain inducing layer is formed over the transistor to apply a strain thereto to alter transistor operating characteristics, and more particularly to enhance the mobility of carriers within the transistor. Enhancing carrier mobility allows transistor dimensions to be reduced while also allowing the transistor to operate as desired. However, high strain and temperature associated with fabricating the transistor result in deleterious plastic deformation. The yield strength of the silicon substrate is therefore adapted by incorporating nitrogen into the substrate, and more particularly into source/drain extension regions and/or source/drain regions of the transistor. The nitrogen can be readily incorporated during transistor fabrication by adding it as part of source/drain extension region formation and/or source/drain region formation. The enhanced yield strength of the substrate mitigates plastic deformation of the transistor due to the strain inducing layer.

    摘要: A method (200) fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed. A poly oxide layer is formed over gate electrodes (210) on a semiconductor body and active regions defined within the semiconductor body in PMOS and NMOS regions. A nitride containing cap oxide layer is formed over the grown poly oxide layer (212). Offset spacers are formed adjacent to sidewalls of the gate electrodes (216). Extension regions are then formed (214) within the PMOS region and the NMOS region. Sidewall spacers are formed (218) adjacent to the sidewalls of the gate. electrodes. An n-type dopant is implanted into the NMOS region to form source/drain regions and a p-type dopant is implanted with an overdose amount into the PMOS region to form the source/drain regions within the PMOS region (220). A poly cap layer is formed over the device (222) and an anneal or other thermal process is performed (224) that causes the p-type dopant to diffuse into the nitride containing cap oxide layer and obtain a selected dopant profile having sufficient lateral abruptness.
