摘要:
A method of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming at least one fin and forming, over a first portion of the at least one fin structure, a gate. Gate spacers may be formed on the sidewalls of the gate, whereby the forming of the spacers creates recessed regions adjacent the sidewalls of the at least one fin. A first epitaxial region is formed that covers both one of the recessed regions and a second portion of the at least one fin, such that the second portion extends outwardly from one of the gate spacers. A first epitaxial layer is formed within the one of the recessed regions by etching the first epitaxial region and the second portion of the at least one fin. A second epitaxial region is formed at a location adjacent one of the spacers and over the first epitaxial layer within one of the recessed regions.

A method of forming a semiconductor material of a photovoltaic device that includes providing a surface of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material, and annealing the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material in a deuterium containing atmosphere. Deuterium from the deuterium-containing atmosphere is introduced to the lattice of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material through the surface of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material. In some embodiments, the deuterium that is introduced to the lattice of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material increases the stability of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing material.

A lateral heterojunction bipolar transistor is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate including a top semiconductor portion of a first semiconductor material having a first band gap and a doping of a first conductivity type. A stack of an extrinsic base and a base cap is formed such that the stack straddles over the top semiconductor portion. A dielectric spacer is formed around the stack. Ion implantation of dopants of a second conductivity type is performed to dope regions of the top semiconductor portion that are not masked by the stack and the dielectric spacer, thereby forming an emitter region and a collector region. A second semiconductor material having a second band gap greater than the first band gap and having a doping of the second conductivity type is selectively deposited on the emitter region and the collector region to form an emitter contact region and a collector contact region, respectively.

A method of depositing a SiNxCy liner on a porous low thermal conductivity (low-k) substrate by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD), which includes forming a SiNxCy liner on a surface of a low-k substrate having pores on a surface thereon, in which the low-k substrate is repeatedly exposed to a aminosilane-based precursor and a plasma selected from nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, helium, and combinations thereof until a thickness of the liner is obtained, and wherein the liner is prevented from penetrating inside the pores of a surface of the substrate. A porous low thermal conductivity substrate having a SiNxCy liner formed thereon by the method is also disclosed.

Semiconductor structures are disclosed that have embedded stressor elements therein. The disclosed structures include at least one FET gate stack located on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate. The at least one FET gate stack includes source and drain extension regions located within the semiconductor substrate at a footprint of the at least one FET gate stack. A device channel is also present between the source and drain extension regions and beneath the at least one gate stack. The structure further includes embedded stressor elements located on opposite sides of the at least one FET gate stack and within the semiconductor substrate. Each of the embedded stressor elements includes, from bottom to top, a first layer of a first epitaxy doped semiconductor material having a lattice constant that is different from a lattice constant of the semiconductor substrate and imparts a strain in the device channel, a second layer of a second epitaxy doped semiconductor material located atop the first layer, and a delta monolayer of dopant located on an upper surface of the second layer. The structure further includes a metal semiconductor alloy contact located directly on an upper surface of the delta monolayer.
