摘要:
A vertical field effect transistor (“FET”) is provided which includes a transistor body region and source and drain regions disposed in a single-crystal semiconductor-on-insulator (“SOI”) region of a substrate adjacent a sidewall of a trench. The substrate includes a buried insulator layer underlying the SOI region and a bulk region underlying the buried insulator layer. A buried strap conductively connects the SOI region to a lower node disposed below the SOI region and a body contact extends from the transistor body region to the bulk region of the substrate, the body contact being insulated from the buried strap.

A field effect transistor formed by a sacrificial gate process has a simplified process and improved yield by using a tunable resistant anti-reflective coating (TERA) as the cap layer over the sacrificial gate layer. The TERA layer serves as a tunable anti-reflection layer for photolithography patterning, a hardmask for etching the sacrificial gate, a polish stopping layer for planarization, and a blocking layer for preventing silicide formation over the sacrificial gate. The TERA is stripped by a two-step process that is highly selective to the nitride spacers, so that the spacers are not damaged in the process of stripping the sacrificial gate.

A method for improving the properties of tunable etch resistant anti-reflective coatings (TERA) is disclosed. The method includes annealing the deposited layer of TERA in an environment containing at least one of hydrogen and deuterium. The annealed layer has an increased concentration of hydrogen and/or deuterium as compared to the deposited film, and may also have an additional concentration of hydrogen or deuterium at the interface between the substrate and the layer of TERA.

A method of forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate includes a step of converting the cross section of the upper portion of the trench from octagonal to rectangular, so that sensitivity to alignment errors between the trench lithography and the active area lithography is reduced. Applications include a vertical transistor that becomes insensitive to misalignment between the trench and the litho for the active area, in particular a DRAM cell with a vertical transistor.

A method and structure for a memory storage cell in a semiconductor substrate includes forming a dopant source material over a lower portion of a deep trench formed in the substrate. An upper portion of the trench is shaped to a generally rectangular configuration, and the dopant source material is annealed so as to form a buried plate of a trench capacitor. The buried plate is self aligned to the shaped upper portion of the trench.
摘要:
Thin semiconductor regions and thick semiconductor regions are formed oven an insulator layer. Thick semiconductor regions include at least one semiconductor fin. A gate conductor layer is patterned to form disposable planar gate electrodes over ETSOI regions and disposable side gate electrodes on sidewalls of semiconductor fins. End portions of the semiconductor fins are vertically recessed to provide thinned fin portions adjacent to an unthinned fin center portion. After appropriate masking by dielectric layers, selective epitaxy is performed on planar source and drain regions of ETSOI field effect transistors (FETs) to form raised source and drain regions. Further, fin source and drain regions are grown on the thinned fin portions. Source and drain regions, fins, and the disposable gate electrodes are planarized. The disposable gate electrodes are replaced with metal gate electrodes. FinFETs and ETSOI FETs are provided on the same semiconductor substrate.

Methods of fabricating P-I-N diodes, structures for P-I-N diodes and design structure for P-I-N diodes. A method includes: forming a trench in a silicon substrate; forming a doped region in the substrate abutting the trench; growing an intrinsic epitaxial silicon layer on surfaces of the trench; depositing a doped polysilicon layer to fill remaining space in the trench, performing a chemical mechanical polish so top surfaces of the intrinsic epitaxial silicon layer and the doped polysilicon layer are coplanar; forming a dielectric isolation layer in the substrate; forming a dielectric layer on top of the isolation layer; and forming a first metal contact to the doped polysilicon layer through the dielectric layer and a second contact to the doped region the dielectric and through the isolation layer.

Methods include making a FinFET device structure having multiple FinFET devices (e.g. ntype and/or ptype) with different metal conductors and/or different high-k insulators in the gates formed on a SOI substrate. One such method includes removing a second semiconductor layer from a second metal layer in a region above a second cap layer, from adjoining regions and from regions adjacent to a second fin.

A method that includes forming a pattern of strained material and relaxed material on a substrate; forming a strained device in the strained material; and forming a non-strained device in the relaxed material is disclosed. In one embodiment, the strained material is silicon (Si) in either a tensile or compressive state, and the relaxed material is Si in a normal state. A buffer layer of silicon germanium (SiGe), silicon carbon (SiC), or similar material is formed on the substrate and has a lattice constant/structure mis-match with the substrate. A relaxed layer of SiGe, SiC, or similar material is formed on the buffer layer and places the strained material in the tensile or compressive state. In another embodiment, carbon-doped silicon or germanium-doped silicon is used to form the strained material. The structure includes a multi-layered substrate having strained and non-strained materials patterned thereon.
