摘要:
A method of forming a semiconductor device that includes providing a substrate including a semiconductor layer on a germanium-containing silicon layer and forming a gate structure on a surface of a channel portion of the semiconductor layer. Well trenches are etched into the semiconductor layer on opposing sides of the gate structure. The etch process for forming the well trenches forms an undercut region extending under the gate structure and is selective to the germanium-containing silicon layer. Stress inducing semiconductor material is epitaxially grown to fill at least a portion of the well trench to provide at least one of a stress inducing source region and a stress inducing drain region having a planar base.

A high-k gate dielectric layer and a metal gate layer are formed and patterned to expose semiconductor surfaces in a bipolar junction transistor region, while covering a CMOS region. A disposable material portion is formed on a portion of the exposed semiconductor surfaces in the bipolar junction transistor area. A semiconductor layer and a dielectric layer are deposited and patterned to form gate stacks including a semiconductor portion and a dielectric gate cap in the CMOS region and a cavity containing mesa over the disposable material portion in the bipolar junction transistor region. The disposable material portion is selectively removed and a base layer including an epitaxial portion and a polycrystalline portion fills the cavity formed by removal of the disposable material portion. The emitter formed by selective epitaxy fills the cavity in the mesa.
摘要:
A process including forming a silicon layer over a semiconductor wafer having features thereon and then selectively ion implanting in the silicon layer to form ion implanted regions. The step of selectively ion implanting is repeated as many times as necessary to obtain a predetermined number and density of features. Thereafter, the silicon layer is etched to form openings in the silicon layer that were formerly occupied by the ion implanted regions. The opened areas in the silicon layer form a mask for further processing of the semiconductor wafer.

A method for growing an epitaxial layer on a substrate wherein the substrate includes a surface having a Miller index of (110) for the beneficial properties. The method comprises using a direct silicon bonded wafer with a substrate having a first Miller index and a surface having a second Miller index. An element such as a gate for a PFET may be deposited onto the surface. The area not under the gate may then be etched away to expose the substrate. An epitaxial layer may then be grown on the surface providing optimal growth patterns. The Miller index of the substrate may be (100). In an alternative embodiment the surface may have a Miller index of (100) and the surface is etched where an element such as a gate for a PFET may be placed.

A method of forming an isolation region using porous silicon and a related structure are disclosed. One embodiment of the method may include forming a collector region; forming a porous silicon region in the collector region; forming a crystalline silicon intrinsic base layer over the collector region, the intrinsic base layer extending over a portion of the porous silicon region to form an extrinsic base; and forming an isolation region in the porous silicon region. The method is applicable to forming an HBT having a structure including a crystalline silicon intrinsic base extending beyond a collector region and extending over an isolation region to form a continuous intrinsic-to-extrinsic base conduction path of low resistance. The HBT has improved performance by having a smaller collector to intrinsic base interface and larger intrinsic base to extrinsic base interface.

A heterostructure bipolar transistor (HBT) and related methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, the HBT includes a heterostructure bipolar transistor (HBT) including: a substrate; a monocrystalline emitter atop the substrate; a collector in the substrate; at least one isolation region adjacent to the collector; a monocrystalline silicon germanium (SiGe) intrinsic base extending over each isolation region; and a monocrystalline silicon extrinsic base. A method may include forming the intrinsic and extrinsic base and the emitter as monocrystalline, with the extrinsic base (and emitter) formed in a self-aligned fashion utilizing selective-epitaxial growth on porous silicon. As a result, some mask levels can be omitted, making this an inexpensive alternative to conventional processing.
摘要:
The present invention relates to bipolar junction transistors (BJTS). The collector region of each BJT is located in a semiconductor substrate surface and adjacent to a first shallow trench isolation (STI) region. A second STI region is provided, which extends between the first STI region and the collection region and undercuts a portion of the active base region with an undercut angle of not more than about 90°. For example, the second STI region may a substantially triangular cross-section with an undercut angle of less than about 90°, or a substantially rectangular cross-section with an undercut angle of about 90°. Such a second STI region can be fabricated using a porous surface section formed in an upper surface of the collector region.
