摘要:
A silicon on insulator (SOI) field effect transistor (FET) structure is formed on a conventional bulk silicon wafer. The structure includes an electrical coupling between the channel region of the FET with the bulk silicon substrate to eliminate the floating body effect caused by charge accumulation in the channel regions due to historical operation of the FET. The method of forming the structure includes isolating the FET active region from other structures in the silicon substrate by forming an insulating trench about the perimeter of the FET and forming an undercut beneath the active region to reduce or eliminate junction capacitance between the source and drain regions and the silicon substrate.
摘要:
A semiconductor device is provided with a gate electrode having a substantially rectangular profile by depositing a layer of amorphous or microcrystalline silicon. The amorphous or microcrystalline silicon is doped with impurities, before patterning to form the gate electrode, to reduce gate depletion. The doped gate electrode layer is then patterned to form a gate electrode having a substantially rectangular profile.
摘要:
Halo implant regions are formed in a P-channel semiconductor device employing a zero degree tilt angle. N-type impurities are ion implanted to the desired depth in the semiconductor substrate prior to forming P-channel lightly doped source/drain areas. Subsequently, moderately or heavily doped source/drain regions are formed, followed by activation annealing. The halo implants diffuse to form halo structures at the desired location, thereby reducing short channel effects, such as subsurface punchthrough. Other embodiments enable independent control of the junction depths and channel lengths of N- and P-channel transistors, while maintaining high manufacturing throughput.
摘要:
Shallow LDD junctions are obtained by depositing a thin screening oxide layer prior to moderate or heavy ion implantations. The use of a thin deposited screening oxide, as by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, instead of a thermally grown oxide, minimizes transient enhanced diffusion during annealing to activate the source/drain regions, thereby decreasing the junction depth.
摘要:
N- and P-channel transistor characteristics are independently optimized for CMOS semiconductor devices with design features of 0.25 microns and under. Removable second sidewall spacers are formed on the N-channel transistor gate electrode having first sidewall spacers thereon. Ion implantation is conducted to form N-type moderately/heavily doped implants followed by activation annealing. The second sidewall spacer is then removed from the P-channel transistor leaving first sidewall spacers thereon serving as an ion implantation mask for the P-type lightly doped implants. Subsequently, third sidewall spacers are formed on the P-channel gate electrode having first sidewall spacers thereon followed by ion implantation to form the P-type moderately or heavily doped implants, with subsequent activation annealing. Embodiments enable complete independent control of the channel lengths of the N- and P-channel transistors by varying the width of the first, second and third sidewall spacers.
