    摘要: A manufacturable way to recess silicon that employs an end point detection method for the recess etch and allows tight tolerances on the recess is described for fabricating a strained raised source/drain layer. The method includes forming a monolayer comprising oxygen and carbon on a surface of a doped semiconductor substrate; forming an epi Si layer atop the doped semiconductor substrate; forming at least one gate region on the epi Si layer; selectively etching exposed portions of the epi layer, not protected by the gate region, stopping on and exposing the doped semiconductor substrate using end point detection; and forming a strained SiGe layer on the exposed doped semiconductor substrate. The strained SiGe layer serves as a raised layer in which source/drain diffusion regions can be subsequently formed.

    摘要: A process implementing steps for determining encroachment of a spacer structure in a semiconductor device having thick and thin spacer regions, including a transition region formed therebetween. The method steps comprise: obtaining a line width roughness (LWR) measurement at at least one location along each thick, thin and transition spacer regions; determining a threshold LWR measurement value based on the LWR measurements; defining a region of interest (ROI) and obtaining a further LWR measurement in the ROI; comparing the LWR measurement in the ROI against the threshold LWR measurement value; and, notifying a user that either encroachment of the spacer structure is present when the LWR measurement in the ROI is below the threshold LWR measurement value, or that no encroachment of the spacer structure is present when the LWR measurement in the ROI is above the threshold LWR measurement value.

    摘要: A method of manufacture of a Super Steep Retrograde Well Field Effect Transistor device starts with an SOI layer formed on a substrate, e.g. a buried oxide layer. Thin the SOI layer to form an ultra-thin SOI layer. Form an isolation trench separating the SOI layer into N and P ground plane regions. Dope the N and P ground plane regions formed from the SOI layer with high levels of N-type and P-type dopant. Form semiconductor channel regions above the N and P ground plane regions. Form FET source and drain regions and gate electrode stacks above the channel regions. Optionally form a diffusion retarding layer between the SOI ground plane regions and the channel regions.

    摘要: A transistor is provided that includes a silicon layer with a source region and a drain region, a gate stack disposed on the silicon layer between the source region and the drain region, an L shaped gate encapsulation layer disposed on sidewalls of the gate stack, and a spacer disposed above the horizontal portion of the gate encapsulation layer and adjacent to the vertical portion of the gate encapsulation layer. The gate stack has a first layer of high dielectric constant material, a second layer comprising a metal or metal alloy, and a third layer comprising silicon or polysilicon. The gate encapsulation layer has a vertical portion covering the sidewalls of the first, second, and third layers of the gate stack and a horizontal portion covering a portion of the silicon layer that is adjacent to the gate stack.
