摘要:
A method of forming a semiconductor device that includes forming a material stack on a semiconductor substrate, the material stack including a first dielectric layer on the substrate, a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, and a third dielectric layer on the second dielectric layer, wherein the second dielectric layer is a high-k dielectric. Openings are formed through the material stack to expose a surface of the semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor material is formed in the openings through the material stack. The first dielectric layer is removed selectively to the second dielectric layer and the semiconductor material. A gate structure is formed on a channel portion of the semiconductor material. In some embodiments, the method may provide a plurality of finFET or trigate semiconductor device in which the fin structures of those devices have substantially the same height.

A lower raised source/drain region is formed on a planar source/drain region of a planar field effect transistor or a surface of a portion of semiconductor fin adjoining a channel region of a fin field effect transistor. At least one contact-level dielectric material layer is formed and planarized, and a contact via hole extending to the lower raised source/drain region is formed in the at least one contact-level dielectric material layer. An upper raised source/drain region is formed on a top surface of the lower raised source/drain region. A metal semiconductor alloy portion and a contact via structure are formed within the contact via hole. Formation of the upper raised source/drain region is limited to a bottom portion of the contact via hole, thereby preventing formation of, and increase of parasitic capacitance by, any additional raised structure in source/drain regions that are not contacted.

A method for fabricating an FET device is disclosed. The method includes providing a body over an insulator, with the body having at least one surface adapted to host a device channel. Selecting the body to be Si, Ge, or their alloy mixtures. Choosing the body layer to be less than a critical thickness defined as the thickness where agglomeration may set in during a high temperature processing. Such critical thickness may be about 4 nm for a planar devices, and about 8 nm for a non-planar devices. The method further includes clearing surfaces of oxygen at low temperature, and forming a raised source/drain by selective epitaxy while using the cleared surfaces for seeding. After the clearing of the surfaces of oxygen, and before the selective epitaxy, oxygen exposure of the cleared surfaces is being prevented.
