    摘要: An MOSFET device having a Silicide layer of uniform thickness, and methods for its fabrication, are provided. One such method involves depositing a metal layer over wide and narrow contact trenches on the surface of a silicon semiconductor substrate. Upon formation of a uniformly thin amorphous intermixed alloy layer at the metal/silicon interface, the excess (unreacted) metal is removed. The device is annealed to facilitate the formation of a thin silicide layer on the substrate surface which exhibits uniform thickness at the bottoms of both wide and narrow contact trenches.

    摘要: A semiconductor is formed on an SOI substrate, such as an extremely thin SOI (ETSOI) substrate, with increased extension thickness. Embodiments include semiconductor devices having an epitaxially formed silicon-containing layer, such as embedded silicon germanium (eSiGe), on the SOI substrate. An embodiment includes forming an SOI substrate, epitaxially forming a silicon-containing layer on the SOI substrate, and forming a gate electrode on the epitaxially formed silicon-containing layer. After gate spacers and source/drain regions are formed, the gate electrode and underlying silicon-containing layer are removed and replaced with a high-k metal gate. The use of an epitaxially formed silicon-containing layer reduces SOI thickness loss due to fabrication process erosion, thereby increasing extension thickness and lowering extension resistance.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for scanning and processing an image using the error diffusion screening technology, comprising: (1) scanning each pixel Mi of an nth line in an original image one by one and then storing a scanning result of the pixel Mi to an ith storage location; and (2) processing the stored result of the pixel Mi by using error diffusion and scanning pixels of an n+1th line in the original image until all pixels of the nth line have been processed and all pixels in the n+1th line have been scanned and stored, wherein once processing for the pixel Mi is completed, a scanning result of a pixel of the n+1th line is stored to the ith storage location previously occupied by the pixel Mi. Based on the method, the capacity for storing is only required to be able to store the data of one line in an image in the scanning direction, which saves the storage for bidirectional scanning. The method can optimize the hardware used to implement error diffusion and improve the operating efficiency. Also disclosed is a system for achieving the method.
