摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a region of semiconductor material with first and second isolation trenches formed therein. The first isolation trench is lined with a first material having a low oxygen diffusion rate and is filled with an insulating material. The second isolation trench is not lined with the first material but is filled with an insulating material. A first transistor is formed adjacent the first isolation region and a second transistor formed adjacent the second isolation region.

A high performance semiconductor device and the method for making same is disclosed with an improved drive current. The semiconductor device has source and drain regions built on an active region, a length of the device being different than a width thereof. One or more isolation regions are fabricated surrounding the active region, the isolation regions are then filled with an predetermined isolation material whose volume shrinkage exceeds 0.5% after an anneal process. A gate electrode is formed over the active region, and one or more dielectric spacers are made next to the gate electrode. Then, a contact etch stopper layer is put over the device, wherein the isolation regions, spacers and contact etch layer contribute to modulating a net strain imposed on the active region so as to improve the drive current.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chip includes a silicon layer of a predetermined thickness overlying an insulator layer. A multiple-gate fully-depleted SOI MOSFET including a strained channel region is formed on a first portion of the silicon layer. A planar SOI MOSFET including a strained channel region formed on another portion of the silicon layer. For example, the planar SOI MOSFET can be a planar fully-depleted SOI (FD-SOI) MOSFET or the planar SOI MOSFET can be a planar partially-depleted SOI (PD-SOI) MOSFET.

摘要:
A transistor includes a gate dielectric overlying a channel region. A source region and a drain region are located on opposing sides of the channel region. The channel region is formed from a first semiconductor material and the source and drain regions are formed from a second semiconductor material. A gate electrode overlies the gate dielectric. A pair of spacers is formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode. Each of the spacers includes a void adjacent the channel region. A high-stress film can overlie the gate electrode and spacers.

A semiconductor product includes a pair of field effect transistor device structures formed one each within a pair of doped well regions within a semiconductor substrate. The pair of field effect transistor device structures is formed with a pair of metal gate electrodes formed employing different laminated metal constructions. By correlating a work function within a metal layer within a gate electrode with a work function of a semiconductor substrate region over which it is formed, the field effect transistor devices are formed with enhanced performance.
