Abstract: A strained silicon layer is grown on a layer of silicon germanium and a second layer of silicon germanium is grown on the layer of strained silicon in a single continuous in situ deposition process. Both layers of silicon germanium may be grown in situ with the strained silicon. This construction effectively provides dual substrates at both sides of the strained silicon layer to support the tensile strain of the strained silicon layer and to resist the formation of misfit dislocations that may be induced by temperature changes during processing. Consequently the critical thickness of strained silicon that can be grown on substrates having a given germanium content is effectively doubled. The silicon germanium layer overlying the strained silicon layer may be maintained during MOSFET processing to resist creation of misfit dislocations in the strained silicon layer up to the time of formation of gate insulating material.

Abstract: For fabricating a field effect transistor on an active device area of a semiconductor substrate, a gate dielectric and a gate electrode are formed on the active device area of the semiconductor substrate. Antimony (Sb) dopant is implanted into exposed regions of the active device area of the semiconductor substrate to form at least one of drain and source extension junctions and/or drain and source contact junctions. A low temperature thermal anneal process at a temperature less than about 950° Celsius is performed for activating the antimony (Sb) dopant within the drain and source extension junctions and/or drain and source contact junctions. In one embodiment of the present invention, the drain and source contact junctions are formed and thermally annealed before the formation of the drain and source extension junctions in a disposable spacer process for further minimizing heating of the drain and source extension junctions. In another embodiment of the present invention, the drain and source extension junctions and/or the drain and source contact junctions are formed to be amorphous before the thermal anneal process. In that case, a SPE (solid phase epitaxy) activation process in performed for activating the antimony (Sb) dopant within the amorphous drain and source extension junctions and/or the amorphous drain and source contact junctions at a temperature less than about 650° Celsius.

Abstract: A MOSFET gate or a MOSFET source or drain region comprises silicon germanium or polycrystalline silicon germanium. Silicidation with nickel is performed to form a nickel germanosilicide that preferably comprises the monosilicide phase of nickel silicide. The inclusion of germanium in the silicide provides a wider temperature range within which the monosilicide phase may be formed, while essentially preserving the superior sheet resistance exhibited by nickel monosilicide. As a result, the nickel germanosilicide is capable of withstanding greater temperatures during subsequent processing than nickel monosilicide, yet provides approximately the same sheet resistance and other beneficial properties as nickel monosilicide.
