    摘要: Structures and methods of fabricating isolation regions for a semiconductor device. An example method comprises the following. We form one or more buried doped regions in a substrate. We form a stressor layer over the substrate. We form a strained layer over the stressor layer. We form STI trenches down through the strained layer and the stressor layer to as least partially expose the buried doped regions. We etch the buried doped regions to form at least a buried cavity in communication with the STI trenches. In the first and second embodiments, we fill only the STI trenches with insulation material to form isolation regions and form voids in the cavities. In the third and fourth embodiments, we fill both the STI trenches and the cavities with insulation material.

    摘要: A method of forming a relaxed silicon-germanium layer for accommodation of an overlying silicon layer formed with tensile strain, has been developed. The method features growth of multiple composite layers on a semiconductor substrate, with each composite layer comprised of an underlying silicon-germanium-carbon layer and of an overlying silicon-germanium layer, followed by the growth of an overlying thicker silicon-germanium layer. A hydrogen anneal procedure performed after growth of the multiple composite layers and of the thicker silicon-germanium layer, results in a top composite layer now comprised with an overlying relaxed silicon-germanium layer, exhibiting a low dislocation density. The presence of silicon-carbon micro crystals in each silicon-germanium-carbon layer reduces the formation of, and the propagation of threading dislocations in overlying silicon-germanium layers, therefore also reducing extension of these defects into an overlying silicon layer, wherein the tensile strained silicon layer will be used to accommodate a subsequent device structure.
