Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a FinFET device includes forming a fin structure on an insulating layer. The fin structure includes a conductive fin. The method also includes forming source/drain regions and forming a dummy gate over the fin. The dummy gate may be removed and the width of the fin in the channel region may be reduced. The method further includes depositing a gate material to replace the removed dummy gate.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include forming a fin structure on an insulator and forming a gate structure over a channel portion of the fin structure. The method may also include forming a sacrificial oxide layer around the gate structure and removing the gate structure to define a gate recess within the sacrificial oxide layer. A metal gate may be formed in the gate recess, and the sacrificial oxide layer may be removed.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit on a substrate provides a gate structure including single crystalline material. The method can provide a first amorphous or polycrystalline semiconductor layer above a top surface of the substrate and patterning the first amorphous semiconductor layer to form a first gate conductor. The process can also include utilizing solid phase epitaxy to form a single crystal layer above the first gate conductor and patterning the single crystal layer to form a second gate conductor including the single crystal layer.
Abstract:
A double gate metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) includes a fin, a first gate and a second gate. The first gate is formed on top of the fin. The second gate surrounds the fin and the first gate. In another implementation, a triple gate MOSFET includes a fin, a first gate, a second gate, and a third gate. The first gate is formed on top of the fin. The second gate is formed adjacent the fin. The third gate is formed adjacent the fin and opposite the second gate.
Abstract:
A device includes a fin, a first gate and a second gate. The first gate is formed adjacent a first side of the fin and includes a first layer of material having a first thickness and having an upper surface that is substantially co-planar with an upper surface of the fin. The second gate is formed adjacent a second side of the fin opposite the first side and includes a second layer of material having a second thickness and having an upper surface that is substantially co-planar with the upper surface of the fin, where the first thickness and the second thickness are substantially equal to a height of the fin.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) utilizes a shallow trench isolation (STI) technique. The shallow trench isolation technique is used in strained silicon (SMOS) process. The liner for the trench is formed from a semiconductor or metal layer which is deposited in a low temperature process which reduces germanium outgassing. The low temperature process can be a ALD process.
Abstract:
A fin field effect transistor (FinFET) includes a reversed T-shaped fin. The FinFET further includes source and drain regions formed adjacent the reversed T-shaped fin. The FinFET further includes a dielectric layer formed adjacent surfaces of the fin and a gate formed adjacent the dielectric layer.
Abstract:
A strained silicon p-type MOSFET utilizes a strained silicon channel region formed on a silicon germanium substrate. Silicon germanium regions are formed on the silicon germanium layer adjacent to ends of the strained silicon channel region, and shallow source and drain extensions are implanted in the silicon germanium material. The shallow source and drain extensions do not extend into the strained silicon channel region. By forming the source and drain extensions in silicon germanium material rather than in silicon, source and drain extension distortions caused by the enhanced diffusion rate of boron in silicon are avoided.
Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment relates to a method for forming a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The method includes providing a substrate having a gate formed above the substrate and performing at least one of the following depositing steps: depositing a spacer layer and forming a spacer around a gate and gate insulator located above a layer of silicon above the substrate; depositing an etch stop layer above the spacer, the gate, and the layer of silicon; and depositing a dielectric layer above the etch stop layer. At least one of the depositing a spacer layer, depositing an etch stop layer, and depositing a dielectric layer comprises high compression deposition which increases in tensile strain in the layer of silicon.
