    Abstract: A method for forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) semiconductor device includes forming laterally adjacent first and second active regions in a semiconductor layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. A stress inducing layer is formed above the first active region to impart stress thereto. Trench isolation regions are formed bounding the first active region and adjacent portions of the stress inducing layer. The stress inducing layer is removed leaving the trench isolation regions to maintain stress imparted to the first active region.

    Abstract: Trenches are formed through a top semiconductor layer and a buried insulator layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A selective epitaxy is performed to form bulk semiconductor portions filling the trenches and in epitaxial alignment with the semiconductor material of a handle substrate. At least one dielectric layer is deposited over the top semiconductor layer and the bulk semiconductor portions, and is patterned to form openings over selected areas of the top semiconductor layer and the bulk semiconductor portions. A semiconductor alloy material is deposited within the openings directly on physically exposed surfaces of the top semiconductor layer and the bulk semiconductor portions. The semiconductor alloy material intermixes with the underlying semiconductor materials in a subsequent anneal. Within each of the SOI region and the bulk region, two types of semiconductor material portions are formed depending on whether a semiconductor material intermixes with the semiconductor alloy material.

    Abstract: Insulating layers can be formed over a semiconductor device region and etched in a manner that substantially reduces or prevents the amount of etching of the underlying channel region. A first insulating layer can be formed over a gate region and a semiconductor device region. A second insulating layer can be formed over the first insulating layer. A third insulating layer can be formed over the second insulating layer. A portion of the third insulating layer can be etched using a first etching process. A portion of the first and second insulating layers beneath the etched portion of the third insulating layer can be etched using at least a second etching process different from the first etching process.

    Abstract: On a substrate formed of a first semiconductor layer, an insulating layer and a second semiconductor layer, a silicon oxide pad layer and a silicon nitride pad layer are deposited and patterned to define a mask. The mask is used to open a trench through the first semiconductor layer and insulating layer and into the second semiconductor layer. A dual liner of silicon dioxide and silicon nitride is conformally deposited within the trench. The trench is filled with silicon dioxide. A hydrofluoric acid etch removes the silicon nitride pad layer along with a portion of the conformal silicon nitride liner. A hot phosphoric acid etch removes the silicon oxide pad layer, a portion of the silicon oxide filling the trench and a portion of the conformal silicon nitride liner. The dual liner protects against substrate etch through at an edge of the trench between the first and second semiconductor layers.

    Abstract: A transistor includes a body and a semiconductor region configured to stress a portion of the body. For example, stressing a channel of the transistor may increase the mobility of carriers in the channel, and thus may reduce the “on” resistance of the transistor. For example, the substrate, source/drain regions, or both the substrate and source/drain regions of a PFET may be doped to compressively stress the channel so as to increase the mobility of holes in the channel. Or, the substrate, source/drain regions, or both the substrate and source/drain regions of an NFET may be doped to tensile stress the channel so as to increase the mobility of electrons in the channel.
