    摘要: Edge-angle-optimized solid phase epitaxy is described as a method for forming hybrid orientation substrates comprising changed-orientation Si device regions free of the trench-edge defects typically seen when trench-isolated regions of Si are recrystallized to the orientation of an underlying single-crystal Si template after an amorphization step. For the case of amorphized Si regions recrystallizing to (100) surface orientation, the trench-edge-defect-free recrystallization of edge-angle-optimized solid phase epitaxy may be achieved in rectilinear Si device regions whose edges align with the (100) crystal's in-plane directions. In a first aspect of the invention, twist-angle-optimized bonding and edge-angle-optimized epitaxy are applied to the fabrication of trench-edge-defect-free hybrid orientation substrates comprising (110)-oriented Si device regions in which high-performance p-channel field effect transistors (pFETs) may be formed and amorphized-and-recrystallized changed-orientation (100)-oriented Si device regions in which high-performance n-channel field effect transistors (nFETs) may be formed. In a second aspect of the invention, nFETs are fabricated in (100)-oriented Si regions in hybrid orientation substrates using edge-angle-optimized solid phase epitaxy to achieve trench-edge-defect-free amorphized-and-recrystallized source/drain regions.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for removing or reducing the thickness of ultrathin interfacial oxides remaining at Si—Si interfaces after silicon wafer bonding. In particular, the invention provides a method for removing ultrathin interfacial oxides remaining after hydrophilic Si—Si wafer bonding to create bonded Si—Si interfaces having properties comparable to those achieved with hydrophobic bonding. Interfacial oxide layers of order of about 2 to about 3 nm are dissolved away by high temperature annealing, for example, an anneal at 1300°-1330° C. for 1-5 hours. The inventive method is used to best advantage when the Si surfaces at the bonded interface have different surface orientations, for example, when a Si surface having a (100) orientation is bonded to a Si surface having a (110) orientation. In a more general aspect of the invention, the similar annealing processes may be used to remove undesired material disposed at a bonded interface of two silicon-containing semiconductor materials. The two silicon-containing semiconductor materials may be the same or different in surface crystal orientation, microstructure (single-crystal, polycrystalline, or amorphous), and composition.

    摘要: A method for making an ultrathin high-k gate dielectric for use in a field effect transistor is provided. The method involves depositing a high-k gate dielectric material on a substrate and forming an ultrathin high-k dielectric by performing a thinning process on the high-k gate dielectric material. The process used to thin the high-k dielectric material can include at least one of any number of processes including wet etching, dry etching (including gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) processing), and hybrid damage/wet etching. In addition to the above, the present invention relates to an ultrathin high-k gate dielectric made for use in a field-effect transistor made by the above method.
