    摘要: In sophisticated semiconductor devices, a semiconductor alloy, such as a threshold adjusting semiconductor material in the form of silicon/germanium, may be provided in an early manufacturing stage selectively in certain active regions, wherein a pronounced degree of recessing and material loss, in particular in isolation regions, may be avoided by providing a protective material layer selectively above the isolation regions. For example, in some illustrative embodiments, a silicon material may be selectively deposited on the isolation regions.

    摘要: When forming sophisticated gate electrode structures requiring a threshold adjusting semiconductor alloy for one type of transistor, a recess is formed in the corresponding active region, thereby providing superior process uniformity during the deposition of the semiconductor material. Moreover, the well dopant species is implanted after the recessing, thereby avoiding undue dopant loss. Due to the recess, any exposed sidewall surface areas of the active region may be avoided during the selective epitaxial growth process, thereby significantly contributing to enhanced threshold stability of the resulting transistor including the high-k metal gate stack.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are various methods of forming faceted stress-inducing stressors proximate the gate structure of a transistor. In one example, a method includes forming a first recess in an active region of a semiconducting substrate, forming a first semiconductor material in the first recess and forming a gate structure above the first semiconductor material. In this example, the method includes the additional steps of performing a crystalline orientation-dependent etching process on the first semiconductor material to define a plurality of second recesses proximate the gate structure, wherein each of the second recesses has a faceted edge, and forming a first region of stress-inducing semiconductor material in each of the second recesses, wherein each of the first regions of stress-inducing semiconductor material has a faceted edge that engages a corresponding faceted edge in one of the second recesses.
