摘要:
In some embodiments, a method of doping a semiconductor wafer disposed on a pedestal electrode in an inductive plasma chamber includes generating a plasma having a first voltage with respect to ground in the inductive plasma chamber, and applying a radio frequency (RF) voltage with respect to ground to the pedestal electrode in the inductive plasma chamber. The positive RF voltage is based on the first voltage of the plasma.

Provided is a method and structure for utilizing advance channel substrate materials in semiconductor manufacturing. Advanced channel substrate materials such as germanium and Group III-V channel substrate materials, are advantageously utilized. One or more capping films including at least a nitride layer are formed over the channel substrate prior to patterning, ion implantation and the subsequent stripping and wet cleaning operations. With the capping layers intact during these operations, attack of the channel substrate material is prevented and the protective films are easily removed subsequently. The films are dimensioned in conjunction with the ion implantation operation to enable the desired dopant profile and concentration to be formed in the channel substrate material.
