摘要:
The present invention provides a method of forming a substantially planar SOI substrate having multiple crystallographic orientations including the steps of providing a multiple orientation surface atop a single orientation layer, the multiple orientation surface comprising a first device region contacting and having a same crystal orientation as the single orientation layer, and a second device region separated from the first device region and the single orientation layer by an insulating material, wherein the first device region and the second device region have different crystal orientations; producing a damaged interface in the single orientation layer; bonding a wafer to the multiple orientation surface; separating the single orientation layer at the damaged interface; wherein a damaged surface of said single orientation layer remains; and planarizing the damaged surface until a surface of the first device region is substantially coplanar to a surface of the second device region.

Structures and methods of manufacturing are disclosed of dislocation free stressed channels in bulk silicon and SOI (silicon on insulator) CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) devices by gate stress engineering with SiGe and/or Si:C. A CMOS device comprises a substrate of either bulk Si or SOI, a gate dielectric layer over the substrate, and a stacked gate structure of SiGe and/or Si:C having stresses produced at the interfaces of SSi(strained Si)/SiGe or SSi/Si:C in the stacked gate structure. The stacked gate structure has a first stressed film layer of large grain size Si or SiGe over the gate dielectric layer, a second stressed film layer of strained SiGe or strained Si:C over the first stressed film layer, and a semiconductor or conductor such as p(poly)-Si over the second stressed film layer.

The present invention provides a strained Si directly on insulator (SSDOI) substrate having multiple crystallographic orientations and a method of forming thereof. Broadly, but in specific terms, the inventive SSDOI substrate includes a substrate; an insulating layer atop the substrate; and a semiconducting layer positioned atop and in direct contact with the insulating layer, the semiconducting layer comprising a first strained Si region and a second strained Si region; wherein the first strained Si region has a crystallographic orientation different from the second strained Si region and the first strained Si region has a crystallographic orientation the same or different from the second strained Si region. The strained level of the first strained Si region is different from that of the second strained Si region.

A non-volatile storage cell in a Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) and a method of forming an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip including the non-volatile storage cell. Each FET includes a control gate along one side of a semiconductor (e.g., silicon) fin, a floating gate along an opposite of the fin and a program gate alongside the floating gate. Control gate device thresholds are adjusted by adjusting charge on the floating gate.
