摘要: After forming a gate structure over a semiconductor fin that extends upwards from a semiconductor substrate portion, a sigma cavity is formed within the semiconductor fin on each side of the gate structure. A semiconductor buffer region composed of an un-doped stress-generating semiconductor material is epitaxially growing from faceted surfaces of the sigma cavity. Finally, a doped semiconductor region composed of a doped stress-generating semiconductor material is formed on the semiconductor buffer region to completely fill the sigma cavity. The doped semiconductor region is formed to have substantially vertical sidewalls for formation of a uniform source/drain junction profile.

摘要: Methods of forming capacitors include forming a self-assembled pattern of periodic first and second domains using first and second block copolymer materials over a substrate. The second block copolymer material is etched away. Material from the substrate is etched based on a pattern defined by the first block copolymer material to form cavities in the substrate. A capacitor stack is conformally deposited over the substrate, such that the capacitor stack is formed on horizontal surfaces of the substrate and vertical surfaces of the cavities.

摘要: A method is presented for forming a semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a silicon (Si) channel for a first device, forming a first interfacial layer over the Si channel, forming a silicon-germanium (SiGe) channel for a second device, forming a second interfacial layer over the SiGe channel, and selectively removing germanium oxide (GeOX) from the second interfacial layer by applying a combination of hydrogen (H2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). The second interfacial is silicon germanium oxide (SiGeOX) and removal of the GeOX results in formation of a pure silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer.

摘要: A method is presented for forming a device having multiple field effect transistors (FETs) with each FET having a different work function. In particular, the method includes forming multiple microchips in which each FET has a different threshold voltage (Vt) or work-function. In one embodiment, four FETs are formed over a semiconductor substrate. Each FET has a source, drain and a gate electrode. Each gate electrode is processed independently to provide a substantially different threshold voltage.

摘要: A method is provided for forming an integrated circuit with FinFETs. Initially, a fin is received with a dummy gate passing thereover. The dummy gate is removed to form a space over the fin. A temporary layer is subsequently placed in the space, and an element from the temporary layer is caused to pass into a portion of the fin to form a modified fin portion. After the temporary layer is removed, at least part of the modified fin portion is etched away to form a gap in the fin.

摘要: Methods are provided to form pure silicon oxide layers on silicon-germanium (SiGe) layers, as well as an FET device having a pure silicon oxide interfacial layer of a metal gate structure formed on a SiGe channel layer of the FET device. For example, a method comprises growing a first silicon oxide layer on a surface of a SiGe layer using a first oxynitridation process, wherein the first silicon oxide layer comprises nitrogen. The first silicon oxide layer is removed, and a second silicon oxide layer is grown on the surface of the SiGe layer using a second oxynitridation process, which is substantially the same as the first oxynitridation process, wherein the second silicon oxide layer is substantially devoid of germanium oxide and nitrogen. For example, the first silicon oxide layer comprises a SiON layer and the second silicon oxide layer comprises a pure silicon dioxide layer.

摘要: Source/drain contact structures that exhibit low contact resistance and improved electromigration properties are provided. After forming a first contact conductor portion comprising a metal having a high resistance to electromigration such as tungsten at a bottom portion of source/drain contact trench to form direct contact with a source/drain region of a field effect transistor, a second contact conductor portion comprising a highly conductive metal such as copper or a copper alloy is formed over the first contact conductor portion.

The stacked structure does not include step heights, which permits fabrication of multiple structures where desired.

摘要: A method of fabricating advanced node field effect transistors using a replacement metal gate process. The method includes dopant a high-k dielectric directly or indirectly by using layers composed of multi-layer thin film stacks, or in other embodiments, by a single blocking layer. By taking advantage of unexpected etch selectivity of the multi-layer stack or the controlled etch process of a single layer stack, etch damage to the high-k may be avoided and work function metal thicknesses can be tightly controlled which in turn allows field effect transistors with low Tinv (inverse of gate capacitance) mismatch.
