摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body having a top surface and a first and second laterally opposite sidewalls as formed on an insulating substrate. A gate dielectric is formed on the top surface of the semiconductor body and on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. A gate electrode is then formed on the gate dielectric on the top surface of the semiconductor body and adjacent to the gate dielectric on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. The gate electrode comprises a metal film formed directly adjacent to the gate dielectric layer. A pair of source and drain regions are uniformed in the semiconductor body on opposite sides of the gate electrode.

摘要:
In a metal gate replacement process, strain may be selectively induced in the channels of NMOS and PMOS transistors. For example, a material having a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the substrate may be used to form the gate electrodes of PMOS transistors. A material with a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than that of the substrate may be used to form the gate electrodes of NMOS transistors.

摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a gate electrode formed on a gate dielectric layer formed on a semiconductor film. A pair of source/drain regions are formed adjacent the channel region on opposite sides of the gate electrode. The source and drain regions each comprise a semiconductor portion adjacent to and in contact with the semiconductor channel and a metal portion adjacent to and in contact with the semiconductor portion.
摘要:
A transistor may be formed of different layers of silicon germanium, a lowest layer having a graded germanium concentration and upper layers having constant germanium concentrations such that the lowest layer is of the form Si1-xGex. The highest layer may be of the form Si1-yGey on the PMOS side. A source and drain may be formed of epitaxial silicon germanium of the form Si1-zGez on the PMOS side. In some embodiments, x is greater than y and z is greater than x in the PMOS device. Thus, a PMOS device may be formed with both uniaxial compressive stress in the channel direction and in-plane biaxial compressive stress. This combination of stress may result in higher mobility and increased device performance in some cases.
