    摘要: A fin field effect transistor has a fin pattern protruding from a semiconductor substrate. The fin pattern includes first semiconductor patterns and second semiconductor patterns which are stacked. The first and second semiconductor patterns have lattice widths that are greater than a lattice width of the substrate in at least one direction. In addition, the first and second semiconductor patterns may be alternately stacked to increase the height of the fin pattern, such that one of the first and second patterns can reduce stress from the other of the first and second patterns. The first and second semiconductor patterns may be formed of strained silicon and silicon-germanium, where the silicon-germanium patterns can reduce stress from the strained silicon patterns. Therefore, both the number of carriers and the mobility of carriers in the transistor channel may be increased, improving performance of the fin field effect transistor. Related methods are also discussed.

    摘要: A method of making a MOS transistor is disclosed. The disclosed techniques can completely transform a polysilicon gate electrode into a metal silicide electrode through a brief thermal treatment process by extending the contact area between the polysilicide gate electrode and a metal layer prior to a formation of a metal silicide. The disclosed MOS transistor fabricating method comprises providing a semiconductor substrate further comprising a polysilicon gate electrode with a silicide layer thereon, a spacer, and source and drain regions with LDD regions; forming an insulating layer on the area of the substrate; polishing the insulating layer so that the top of the polysilicon gate electrode can be exposed; etching some part of the insulating layer and the spacer so that both lateral walls of the polysilicon gate electrode can be exposed; forming a metal layer on the substrate resulted from the preceding step so that the polysilicon gate electrode can be covered with the metal layer; and transforming completely the polysilicon gate electrode into a metal silicide gate electrode by performing a thermal treatment process.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating semiconductor devices are provided. A substrate having active patterns and isolating layer patterns is prepared. Each of the isolating layer patterns has an upper surface higher than that of each of the active patterns. A spacer layer having a uniform thickness is formed on the substrate. The spacer layer is etched to form a spacer on a sidewall of each of the isolating layer patterns. A gate structure is formed on each of the active patterns. A selective epitaxial growth (SEG) process is performed on the active patterns having the gate structure to form isolated epitaxial layers that have upper surfaces higher than those of the isolating layer patterns, on the active patterns. Related semiconductor devices are also provided.
