A semiconductor process and apparatus includes forming channel orientation PMOS transistors (34) with enhanced hole mobility in the channel region of a transistor by epitaxially growing a bi-axially stressed silicon germanium channel region layer (22), alone or in combination with an underlying silicon carbide layer (86), prior to forming a PMOS gate structure (36) overlying the channel region layer, and then depositing a neutral (53) or compressive (55) contact etch stop layer over the PMOS gate structure. Embedded silicon germanium source/drain regions (84) may also be formed adjacent to the PMOS gate structure (70) to provide an additional uni-axial stress to the bi-axially stressed channel region.
摘要:
A semiconductor fabrication process includes masking a first region, e.g., an NMOS region, of a semiconductor wafer, e.g., a biaxial, tensile strained silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer and creating recesses in source/drain regions of a second wafer region, e.g., a PMOS region. The wafer is then annealed in an ambient that promotes migration of silicon. The source/drain recesses are filled with source/drain structures, e.g., by epitaxial growth. The anneal ambient may include a hydrogen bearing species, e.g., H2 or GeH2, maintained at a temperature in the range of approximately 800 to 1000° C. The second region may be silicon and the source/drain structures may be silicon germanium. Creating the recesses may include creating shallow recesses with a first etch process, performing an amorphizing implant to create an amorphous layer, performing an inert ambient anneal to recrystallize the amorphous layer, and deepening the shallow recesses with a second etch process.

摘要:
A semiconductor device with strain enhancement is formed by providing a semiconductor substrate and an overlying control electrode having a sidewall. An insulating layer is formed adjacent the sidewall of the control electrode. The semiconductor substrate and the control electrode are implanted to form first and second doped current electrode regions, a portion of each of the first and second doped current electrode regions being driven to underlie both the insulating layer and the control electrode in a channel region of the semiconductor device. The first and second doped current electrode regions are removed from the semiconductor substrate except for underneath the control electrode and the insulating layer to respectively form first and second trenches. An insitu doped material containing a different lattice constant relative to the semiconductor substrate is formed within the first and second trenches to function as first and second current electrodes of the semiconductor device.

An apparatus and method for boosting output of a generator set are provided. The output of the generator set is connected to an electrical load. The apparatus includes an energy storage unit, and a power-electronic unit. The energy storage unit uses batteries and capacitors to store electric energy. The power-electronic unit measures an electrical parameter of the output of the generator set. Based on the measured electrical parameter and a predefined criterion, the power-electronic unit determines additional energy required by the electrical load. Thereafter, the power-electronic unit supplies the additional energy to the electrical load. The additional energy is drawn from the energy storage unit.
摘要:
A semiconductor device structure is made on a semiconductor substrate having a semiconductor layer having isolation regions. A first gate structure is formed over a first region of the semiconductor layer, and a second gate structure is over a second region of the semiconductor layer. A first insulating layer is formed over the first and second regions. The first insulating layer can function as a mask during an etch of the semiconductor layer and can be removed selective to the isolation regions and the sidewall spacers. The first insulating layer is removed from over the first region to leave a remaining portion of the first insulating layer over the second region. The semiconductor layer is recessed in the first region adjacent to the first gate to form recesses. A semiconductor material is epitaxially grown in the recesses. The remaining portion of the first insulating layer is removed.
摘要:
A semiconductor fabrication process includes forming isolation structures on either side of a transistor region, forming a gate structure overlying the transistor region, removing source/drain regions to form source/drain recesses, removing portions of the isolation structures to form recessed isolation structures, and filling the source/drain recesses with a source/drain stressor such as an epitaxially formed semiconductor. A lower surface of the source/drain recess is preferably deeper than an upper surface of the recessed isolation structure by approximately 10 to 30 nm. Filling the source/drain recesses may precede or follow forming the recessed isolation structures. An ILD stressor is then deposited over the transistor region such that the ILD stressor is adjacent to sidewalls of the source/drain structure thereby coupling the ILD stressor to the source/drain stressor. The ILD stressor is preferably compressive or tensile silicon nitride and the source/drain structure is preferably silicon germanium or silicon carbon.
摘要:
A semiconductor fabrication process includes forming an etch stop layer (ESL) overlying a buried oxide (BOX) layer and an active semiconductor layer overlying the ESL. A gate electrode is formed overlying the active semiconductor layer. Source/drain regions of the active semiconductor layer are etched to expose the ESL. Source/drain stressors are formed on the ESL where the source/drain stressors strain the transistor channel. Forming the ESL may include epitaxially growing a silicon germanium ESL having a thickness of approximately 30 nm or less. Preferably a ratio of the active semiconductor layer etch rate to the ESL etch rate exceeds 10:1. A wet etch using a solution of NH4OH:H2O heated to a temperature of approximately 75° C. may be used to etch the source/drain regions. The ESL may be silicon germanium having a first percentage of germanium. The source/drain stressors may be silicon germanium having a second percentage of germanium for P-type transistors, and they may be silicon carbon for N-type transistors.
