    摘要: A method for forming device structures having a variation in electrical conductivity includes forming a device structure and a radiation absorbing layer overlying the device structure. The radiation absorbing layer has a spatial variation and radiation absorbing characteristics, such that upon irradiating the device structure, the radiation absorbing layer attenuates the intensity of the radiation so that a variation in dopant activation takes place within the device structure. Accordingly, device structures are formed having a variation in electrical resistance independent of the physical size of the device structures.

    摘要: A method (and semiconductor device) of fabricating a semiconductor device eliminates shallow trench isolation (STI) recess in embedded SiGe p-type field effect transistor (pFET) structures. This increases device performance by improving isolation and decreasing leakage current caused by SiGe facet growth and silicide encroachment at the STI. A mask is selectively formed over the STI and adjacent nFET regions to protect them during formation (e.g., reactive ion etching (RIE)) of the embedded source/drain (S/D) regions of the pFET. The mask also extends over the STI edge by a predetermined distance to cover a portion of the embedded S/D region disposed between the STI and gate structure. This helps protect or isolate the STI region during SiGe layer formation in the defined embedded S/D regions.
