    摘要: A thin BOX ETSOI device with robust isolation and method of manufacturing. The method includes providing a wafer with at least a pad layer overlying a first semiconductor layer overlying an oxide layer overlying a second semiconductor layer, wherein the first semiconductor layer has a thickness of 10 nm or less. The process continues with etching a shallow trench into the wafer, extending partially into the second semiconductor layer and forming first spacers on the sidewalls of said shallow trench. After spacer formation, the process continues by etching an area directly below and between the first spacers, exposing the underside of the first spacers, forming second spacers covering all exposed portions of the first spacers, wherein the pad oxide layer is removed, and forming a gate structure over the first semiconductor wafer.

    摘要: Disclosed is an improved double patterning method for forming openings (e.g., vias or trenches) or mesas on a substrate. This method avoids the wafer topography effects seen in prior art double patterning techniques by ensuring that the substrate itself is only subjected to a single etch process. Specifically, in the method, a first mask layer is formed on the substrate and processed such that it has a doped region and multiple undoped regions within the doped region. Then, either the undoped regions or the doped region can be selectively removed in order to form a mask pattern above the substrate. Once the mask pattern is formed, an etch process can be performed to transfer the mask pattern into the substrate. Depending upon whether the undoped regions are removed or the doped region is removed, the mask pattern will form openings (e.g., vias or trenches) or mesas, respectively, on the substrate.

    摘要: A transistor includes a semiconductor layer, and a gate dielectric is formed on the semiconductor layer. A gate conductor is formed on the gate dielectric and an active area is located in the semiconductor layer underneath the gate dielectric. The active area includes a graded dopant region that has a higher doping concentration near a top surface of the semiconductor layer and a lower doping concentration near a bottom surface of the semiconductor layer. This graded dopant region has a gradual decrease in the doping concentration. The transistor also includes source and drain regions that are adjacent to the active region. The source and drain regions and the active area have the same conductivity type.

    摘要: At least one drain-side surfaces of a field effect transistor (FET) structure, which can be a structure for a planar FET or a fin FET, is structurally damaged by an angled ion implantation of inert or electrically active dopants, while at least one source-side surface of the transistor is protected from implantation by a gate stack and a gate spacer. Epitaxial growth of a semiconductor material is retarded on the at least one structurally damaged drain-side surface, while epitaxial growth proceeds without retardation on the at least one source-side surface. A raised epitaxial source region has a greater thickness than a raised epitaxial drain region, thereby providing an asymmetric FET having lesser source-side external resistance than drain-side external resistance, and having lesser drain-side overlap capacitance than source-side overlap capacitance.
