    摘要: By combining an anneal process for adjusting the effective channel length and a substantially diffusion-free anneal process performed after a deep drain and source implantation, the vertical extension of the drain and source region may be increased substantially without affecting the previously adjusted channel length. In this manner, in SOI devices, the drain and source regions may extend down to the buried insulating layer, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance, while the degree of dopant activation and thus series resistance in the extension regions may be improved. Furthermore, less critical process parameters during the anneal process for adjusting the channel length may provide the potential for reducing the lateral dimensions of the transistor devices.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprises providing a semiconductor substrate. A feature is formed over the substrate. The feature is substantially homogeneous in a lateral direction. A first ion implantation process adapted to introduce first dopant ions into at least one portion of the substrate adjacent the feature is performed. The length of the feature in the lateral direction is reduced. After the reduction of the length of the feature, a second ion implantation process adapted to introduce second dopant ions into at least one portion of the substrate adjacent the feature is performed. The feature may be a gate electrode of a field effect transistor to be formed over the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A method is disclosed in which differing metal layers are sequentially deposited on silicon-containing regions so that the type and thickness of the metal layers may be adapted to specific characteristics of the underlying silicon-containing regions. Subsequently, a heat treatment is performed to convert the metals into metal silicides so as to improve the electrical conductivity of the silicon-containing regions. In this way, silicide portions may be formed that are individually adapted to specific silicon-containing regions so that device performance of individual semiconductor elements or the overall performance of a plurality of semiconductor elements may significantly be improved. Moreover, a semiconductor device is disclosed comprising at least two silicon-containing regions having formed therein differing silicide portions, wherein at least one silicide portion comprises a noble metal.

    摘要: A transistor formed on a substrate comprises a gate electrode having a lateral extension at the foot of the gate electrode that is less than the average lateral extension of the gate electrode. The increased cross-section of the gate electrode compared to the rectangular cross-sectional shape of a prior art device provides for a significantly reduced gate resistance while the effective gate length, i.e., the lateral extension of the gate electrode at its foot, may be scaled down to a size of 100 nm and beyond. Moreover, a method for forming the field effect transistor described above is disclosed.
