    摘要: A method of forming a relaxed silicon-germanium layer for use as an underlying layer for a subsequent, overlying tensile strain silicon layer, has been developed. The method features initial growth of a underlying first silicon-germanium layer on a semiconductor substrate, compositionally graded to feature the largest germanium content at the interface of the first silicon-germanium layer and the semiconductor substrate, with the level of germanium decreasing as the growth of the graded first silicon-germanium layer progresses. This growth sequence allows the largest lattice mismatch and greatest level of threading dislocations to be present at the bottom of the graded silicon-germanium layer, with the magnitude of lattice mismatch and threading dislocations decreasing as the growth of the graded silicon-germanium layer progresses. In situ growth of an overlying silicon-germanium layer featuring uniform or non-graded germanium content, results in a relaxed silicon-germanium layer with a minimum of dislocations propagating from the underlying graded silicon-germanium layer. In situ growth of a silicon layer results in a tensile strain, low defect density layer to be used for MOSFET device applications.

    摘要: An improved method of controlling a critical dimension during a photoresist patterning process is provided which can be applied to forming vias and trenches in a dual damascene structure. An amorphous carbon ARC is deposited on a substrate by a PECVD method. Preferred conditions are a RF power from 50 to 500 Watts, a bias of 500 to 2000 Watts, a chamber and substrate temperature of 300° C. to 400° C. with a trimethylsilane flow rate of 50 to 200 sccm, a helium flow rate of 100 to 1000 sccm, and an argon flow rate of 50 to 200 sccm. Argon plasma imparts an amorphous character to the film. The refractive index (n and k) can be tuned for a variety of photoresist applications including 193 nm, 248 nm, and 365 nm exposures. The &agr;-carbon layer provides a high etch selectivity relative to oxide and can be easily removed with a plasma etch.

    摘要: A floating body ESD protection circuit positioned between and coupled to an I/O pad and an internal circuit. A p-type depletion mode transistor is used to control the body of an n-type enhancement mode transistor. When the p-type depletion mode transistor is triggered, the body of n-type enhancement mode transistor remains grounded. If the p-type depletion mode transistor has not been triggered, the body remains in a floating state, lowering the range of the snapback voltage. As a consequence the ESD protection circuit is able to function more rapidly. Similarly, an n-type depletion mode transistor is used to control the body of a p-type enhancement mode transistor. When the n-type depletion mode transistor is triggered, the body remains coupled to a high voltage. If the n-type depletion mode transistor has not been triggered, the body is in a floating state. Thus, the range of the snapback voltage can be lowered, enabling the ESD protection circuit to function more rapidly.

    摘要: A method of forming a capacitor that has improved charge storage capacity in a high density memory device that has shallow trench isolation regions and a capacitor produced by the method are provided. The method includes the step of forming an oxide spacer that consists of a plurality of oxide layers deposited by two alternating methods of thermal CVD and plasma CVD. After a contact hole is first etched by a plasma etching technique, the hole is again decoratively etched by an etchant such as hydrogen fluoride which has a high selectivity toward oxide layers formed by the plasma CVD method and a low selectivity toward oxide layers formed by the thermal CVD method. As a result, a corrugated side-wall of the contact hole is formed which affords the capacitor cell with an increased surface area leading to an improved charge storage capacity.
