    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor-on-insulator (“SOI”) substrate. In such method an SOI substrate is formed to include (i) an SOI layer of monocrystalline silicon separated from (ii) a bulk semiconductor layer by (iii) a buried oxide (“BOX”) layer including a layer of doped silicate glass. A sacrificial stressed layer is deposited onto the SOI substrate to overlie the SOI layer. Trenches are then etched through the sacrificial stressed layer and into the SOI layer. The SOI substrate is heated with the sacrificial stressed layer sufficiently to cause the glass layer to soften and the sacrificial stressed layer to relax, to thereby apply a stress to the SOI layer to form a stressed SOI layer. The trenches in the stressed SOI layer are then filled with a dielectric material to form trench isolation regions contacting peripheral edges of the stressed SOI layer, the trench isolation regions extending downwardly from a major surface of the stressed SOI layer towards the BOX layer. The sacrificial stressed layer is then removed to expose the stressed SOI layer. Field effect transistors can then be formed in the stressed SOI layer.

    摘要: A method for forming a microelectronic structure uses a mask layer located over a target layer. The target layer may be etched while using the mask layer as an etch mask to form an end tapered target layer from the target layer. An additional target layer may be formed over the end tapered target layer and masked with an additional mask layer. The additional target layer may be etched to form a patterned additional target layer separated from the end tapered target layer and absent an additional target layer residue adjacent the end tapered target layer. The method is useful for fabricating CMOS structures including nFET and pFET gate electrodes comprising different nFET and pFET gate electrode materials.

    摘要: A disposable spacer is formed directly on or in close proximity to the sidewalls of a gate electrode and a gate dielectric. The disposable spacer comprises a material that scavenges oxygen such as a metal, a metal nitride, or a semiconductor material having high reactivity with oxygen. The disposable gate spacer absorbs any oxygen during subsequent high temperature processing such as a stress memorization anneal. A metal is deposited over, and reacted with, the gate electrode and source and drain regions to form metal semiconductor alloy regions. The disposable gate spacer is subsequently removed selective to the metal semiconductor alloy regions. A porous or non-porous low-k dielectric material is deposited to provide a low parasitic capacitance between the gate electrode and the source and drain regions. The gate dielectric maintains the original dielectric constant since the disposable gate spacer prevents absorption of additional oxygen during high temperature processes.

    摘要: A metal layer is deposited on the patterned semiconductor material layer containing a cathode semiconductor portion, a fuselink semiconductor portion, and an anode semiconductor portion. The metal layer may be patterned so that a middle portion of the fuselink semiconductor portion has a thin metal layer, which upon annealing produces a thinner metal semiconductor alloy portion than surrounding metal semiconductor alloy portion on the fuselink semiconductor portion. Alternatively, a middle portion of the metal semiconductor alloy having a uniform thickness throughout the fuselink may be lithographically patterned and etched to form a thin metal semiconductor alloy portion in the middle of the fuselink, while thick metal semiconductor alloy portions are formed on the end portions of the fuselink. The resulting inventive electrical fuse has interfaces at which a thinner metal semiconductor alloy abuts a thicker metal semiconductor alloy in the fuselink to enhance the divergence of electrical current.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure including an nFET having a fully silicided gate electrode wherein a new dual stress liner configuration is used to enhance the stress in the channel region that lies beneath the gate electrode is provided. The new dual stress liner configuration includes a first stress liner that has an upper surface that is substantially planar with an upper surface of a fully silicided gate electrode of the nFET. In accordance with the present invention, the first stress liner is not present atop the nFET including the fully silicided gate electrode. Instead, the first stress liner of the present invention partially wraps around, i.e., surrounds the sides of, the nFET with the fully silicided gate electrode. A second stress liner having an opposite polarity as that of the first stress liner (i.e., of an opposite stress type) is located on the upper surface of the first stress liner as well as atop the nFET that contains the fully silicided FET. In accordance with the present invention, the first stress liner is a tensile stress liner and the second stress liner is a compressive stress liner.
