    摘要: The present invention provides a semiconducting device including at least one gate region including a gate conductor located on a surface of a substrate, the substrate having an exposed surface adjacent the gate region; a silicide contact located adjacent the exposed surface; and a stress inducing liner located on the silicide contact, the exposed surface of the substrate adjacent to the gate region and the at least one gate region, wherein the stress inducing liner provides a stress to a device channel portion of the substrate underlying the gate region. The stress produced on the device channel is a longitudinal stress on the order of about 200 MPa to about 2000 MPa. The present invention also provides a method for forming the above-described semiconducting device.

    摘要: Compressive or tensile materials are selectively introduced beneath and in alignment with spacer areas and adjacent to channel areas of a semiconductor substrate to enhance or degrade electron and hole mobility in CMOS circuits. A process entails steps of creating dummy spacers, forming a dielectric mandrel (i.e., mask), removing the dummy spacers, etching recesses into the underlying semiconductor substrate, introducing a compressive or tensile material into a portion of each recess, and filling the remainder of each recess with substrate material.

    摘要: Forming a vertical MOS transistor or making another three-dimensional integrated circuit structure in a silicon wafer exposes planes having at least two different crystallographic orientations. Growing oxide on different crystal planes is inherently at different growth rates because the inter-atomic spacing is different in the different planes. Heating the silicon in a nitrogen-containing ambient to form a thin layer of nitride and then growing the oxide through the thin nitrided layer reduces the difference in oxide thickness to less than 1%.
