    摘要: In a memory cell, the drive current capabilities of the transistors may be adjusted by locally providing an increased gate dielectric thickness and/or gate length of one or more of the transistors of the memory cell. That is, the gate length and/or the gate dielectric thickness may vary along the transistor width direction, thereby providing an efficient mechanism for adjusting the effective drive current capability while at the same time allowing the usage of a simplified geometry of the active region, which may result in enhanced production yield due to enhanced process uniformity. In particular, the probability of creating short circuits caused by nickel silicide portions may be reduced.

    摘要: Polysilicon lines are formed, featuring an upper portion extending beyond the lower portion that defines the required CD. Accordingly, metal silicide layers of increased dimensions can be formed on the upper portion of the polysilicon lines so that the resulting gate structures exhibit a very low final sheet resistance. Moreover, in situ sidewall spacers are realized during the process for forming the polysilicon lines and without additional steps and/or costs.

    摘要: A method for improving the etch behavior of disposable features in the fabrication of a semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device comprises a bottom anti-reflective coating layer and/or a disposable sidewall spacer which are to be removed in a subsequent etch removal process. The bottom anti-reflective coating layer and/or the disposable sidewall spacer are irradiated by heavy inert ions to alter the structure of the irradiated features and to increase concurrently the etch rate of the employed materials, for example, silicon nitride or silicon reacted nitride.

    摘要: An epitaxially grown channel layer is provided on a well structure after ion implantation steps and heat treatment steps are performed to establish a required dopant profile in the well structure. The channel layer may be undoped or slightly doped, as required, so that the finally obtained dopant concentration in the channel layer is significantly reduced compared to a conventional device to thereby provide a retrograde dopant profile in a channel region of a field effect transistor. Additionally, a barrier diffusion layer may be provided between the well structure and the channel layer to reduce up-diffusion during any heat treatments carried out after the formation of the channel layer. The final dopant profile in the channel region may be adjusted by the thickness of the channel layer, the thickness and the composition of the diffusion barrier layer and any additional implantation steps to introduce dopant atoms in the channel layer.

    摘要: An SOI transistor element and a method of fabricating the same is disclosed, wherein a high concentration of stationary point defects is created by including a region within the active transistor area that has a slight lattice mismatch. In one particular embodiment, a silicon germanium layer is provided in the active area having a high concentration of point defects due to relaxing the strain of the silicon germanium layer upon heat treating the transistor element. Due to the point defects, the recombination rate is significantly increased, thereby reducing the number of charged carriers stored in the active area.

    摘要: This invention provides methods of forming a field-effect transistor in an integrated circuit using self-aligning technology on the basis of a sidewall spacer masking procedure, both for defining the device isolation features and the source and drain regions. The active region is defined after patterning the gate electrode by means of deposition and etch processes instead of overlay alignment technique. Thus, the present invention enables an increase of the integration density of semiconductor devices, a minimization of the parasitic capacitances in field-effect transistor devices, and a quicker manufacturing process.
