    摘要: A substrate includes a first region and a second region. The first region comprises a III-nitride layer, and the second region comprises a first semiconductor layer. A first transistor (such as an n-type transistor) is formed in and on the III-nitride layer, and a second transistor (such as a p-type transistor) is formed in and on the first semiconductor layer. The III-nitride layer may be indium nitride. In the first region, the substrate may include a second semiconductor layer, a graded transition layer over the second semiconductor layer, and a buffer layer over the transition layer, where the III-nitride layer is over the buffer layer. In the second region, the substrate may include the second semiconductor layer and an insulating layer over the second semiconductor layer, where the first semiconductor layer is over the insulating layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor device with strain enhancement is formed by providing a semiconductor substrate and an overlying control electrode having a sidewall. An insulating layer is formed adjacent the sidewall of the control electrode. The semiconductor substrate and the control electrode are implanted to form first and second doped current electrode regions, a portion of each of the first and second doped current electrode regions being driven to underlie both the insulating layer and the control electrode in a channel region of the semiconductor device. The first and second doped current electrode regions are removed from the semiconductor substrate except for underneath the control electrode and the insulating layer to respectively form first and second trenches. An insitu doped material containing a different lattice constant relative to the semiconductor substrate is formed within the first and second trenches to function as first and second current electrodes of the semiconductor device.

    摘要: A process for forming a semiconductor device. The process includes forming a template layer for forming a layer of strained silicon. In one example a layer of graded silicon germanium is formed where the germanium is at a higher concentration at the lower portion and at a lower concentration at a top portion. When subject to a condensation process, the germanium of the top portion of the layer diffuses to a remaining portion of the silicon germanium layer. Because the silicon germanium layer has a higher concentration of germanium at lower portions, germanium pile up after condensation may be reduced at the upper portion of the remaining portion of the silicon germanium layer.

    摘要: A process of forming an electronic device can include forming a gate electrode layer and forming a patterned masking layer. In a first aspect, a process operation is performed before removing substantially all of a lower portion of the gate electrode layer. In a second aspect, a gate dielectric layer is formed prior to forming the gate electrode layer, and a portion of the gate dielectric layer is exposed after removing the patterned masking layer and prior to forming another masking layer. A portion of the gate electrode layer remains covered during a process where some or all of the portion would be otherwise removed or consumed. By forming the electronic device using such a process, damage to the gate electrode structure while performing subsequent processing can be significantly reduced.

    摘要: A semiconductor process and apparatus fabricate a metal gate electrode by forming a first conductive layer (14) over a gate dielectric layer (12) and then selectively introducing nitrogen into the portions of the first conductive layer (14) in the PMOS device region (1), either by annealing (42) a nitrogen-containing diffusion layer (22) formed in the PMOS device region (1) or by performing an ammonia anneal process (82) while the NMOS device region (2) is masked. By introducing nitrogen into the first conductive layer (14), the work function is modulated toward PMOS band edge.
