    摘要: An embodiment of the present invention is a method of forming an ultra-thin dielectric layer by providing a substrate having a semiconductor surface; forming an oxygen-containing layer on the semiconductor surface; exposing the oxygen-containing layer to a nitrogen-containing plasma to create a uniform nitrogen distribution throughout the oxygen-containing layer; and re-oxidizing and annealing the layer to stabilize the nitrogen distribution, heal plasma-induced damage, and reduce interfacial defect density. This annealing step is selected from a group of four re-oxidizing techniques: Consecutive annealing in a mixture of H2 and N2 (preferably less than 20% H2), and then a mixture of O2 and N2 (preferably less than 20% 02); annealing by a spike-like temperature rise (preferably less than 1 s at 1000 to 1150° C.) in nitrogen-comprising atmosphere (preferably N2/O2 or N2O/H2); annealing by rapid thermal heating in ammonia of reduced pressure (preferably at 600 to 1000° C. for 5 to 60 s); annealing in an oxidizer/hydrogen mixture (preferably N2O with 1% H2) for 5 to 60 s at 800 to 1050° C.

    摘要: A process and resulting product are described for controlling the channeling and/or diffusion of a boron dopant in a P- region forming the lightly doped drain (LDD) region of a PMOS device in a single crystal semiconductor substrate, such as a silicon substrate. The channeling and/or diffusion of the boron dopant is controlled by implanting the region, prior to implantation with a boron dopant, with noble gas ions, such as argon ions, at a dosage at least equal to the subsequent dosage of the implanted boron dopant, but not exceeding an amount equivalent to the implantation of about 3.times.10.sup.14 argon ions/cm.sup.2 into a silicon substrate, whereby channeling and diffusion of the subsequently implanted boron dopant is inhibited without, however, amorphizing the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit is disclosed (FIGS. 1-2). The method comprises providing a substrate (200) having an isolation region (202) and etching a trench in the isolation region. A first conductive layer (214) is formed within the trench. A first transistor having a first conductivity type (n-channel) is formed at a face of the substrate. The first transistor has a gate (216) formed of the first conductive layer. A second transistor having a second conductivity type (p-channel) is formed at the face of the substrate. The second transistor has a gate (224) formed of the first conductive layer. The method further comprises replacing the first conductive layer of the first transistor with a first metal gate (132) and replacing the first conductive layer of the second transistor with a second metal gate (134).

    摘要: A transistor is fabricated upon a semiconductor substrate, where the yield strength or elasticity of the substrate is enhanced or otherwise adapted. A strain inducing layer is formed over the transistor to apply a strain thereto to alter transistor operating characteristics, and more particularly to enhance the mobility of carriers within the transistor. Enhancing carrier mobility allows transistor dimensions to be reduced while also allowing the transistor to operate as desired. However, high strain and temperature associated with fabricating the transistor result in deleterious plastic deformation. The yield strength of the silicon substrate is therefore adapted by incorporating nitrogen into the substrate, and more particularly into source/drain extension regions and/or source/drain regions of the transistor. The nitrogen can be readily incorporated during transistor fabrication by adding it as part of source/drain extension region formation and/or source/drain region formation. The enhanced yield strength of the substrate mitigates plastic deformation of the transistor due to the strain inducing layer.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices (102) and fabrication methods (10) are provided, in which a nitride film (130) is formed over NMOS transistors to impart a tensile stress in all or a portion of the NMOS transistor to improve carrier mobility. The nitride layer (130) is initially deposited over the transistors at low temperature with high hydrogen content to provide a moderate tensile stress in the semiconductor body prior to back-end processing. Subsequent back-end thermal processing reduces the film hydrogen content and causes an increase in the applied tensile stress.
