摘要:
A semiconductor device and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes channels for a pFET and an nFET. A SiGe layer is selectively grown in the source and drain regions of the pFET channel and a Si:C layer is selectively grown in source and drain regions of the nFET channel. The SiGe and Si:C layer match a lattice network of the underlying Si layer to create a stress component. In one implementation, this causes a compressive component in the pFET channel and a tensile component in the nFET channel.

A method patterns pairs of semiconducting fins on an insulator layer and then patterns a linear gate conductor structure over and perpendicular to the fins. Next, the method patterns a mask on the insulator layer adjacent the fins such that sidewalls of the mask are parallel to the fins and are spaced from the fins a predetermined distance. The method performs an angled impurity implant into regions of the fins not protected by the gate conductor structure and the mask. This process forms impurity concentrations within the fins that are asymmetric and that mirror one another in adjacent pairs of fins.

An apparatus and method for controlling the net doping in the active region of a semiconductor device in accordance with a gate length is provided. A compensating dopant is chosen to be a type of dopant which will electrically neutralize dopant of the opposite type in the substrate. By implanting the compensating dopant at relatively high angle and high energy, the compensating dopant will pass into and through the gate region for short channels and have little or no impact on the total dopant concentration within the gate region. Where the channel is of a longer length, the high implant angle and the high implant energy cause the compensating dopant to lodge within the channel thereby neutralizing a portion of the dopant of the opposite type.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming a semiconductor layer on a substrate. The first region of the substrate is expanded to push up the first portion of the semiconductor layer, thereby applying tensile stress to the first portion. The second region of the substrate is compressed to pull down the second portion of the semiconductor layer, thereby applying compressive stress to the second portion. An N type device is formed over the first portion of the semiconductor layer, and a P type device is formed over the second portion of the semiconductor layer.

Superior control of short-channel effects for an ultra-thin semiconductor-on-insulator field effect transistor (UTSOI-FET) is obtained by performing a halo implantation immediately after a gate reoxidation step. An offset is then formed and thereafter an extension implantation process is performed. This sequence of processing steps ensures that the halo implant is laterally separated from the extension implant by the width of the offset spacer. This construction produces equivalent or far superior short channel performance compared to conventional UTSOI-FETs. Additionally, the above processing steps permit the use of lower halo doses as compared to conventional processes.

A method of forming a field effect transistor creates shallower and sharper junctions, while maximizing dopant activation in processes that are consistent with current manufacturing techniques. More specifically, the invention increases the oxygen content of the top surface of a silicon substrate. The top surface of the silicon substrate is preferably cleaned before increasing the oxygen content of the top surface of the silicon substrate. The oxygen content of the top surface of the silicon substrate is higher than other portions of the silicon substrate, but below an amount that would prevent epitaxial growth. This allows the invention to epitaxially grow a silicon layer on the top surface of the silicon substrate. Further, the increased oxygen content substantially limits dopants within the epitaxial silicon layer from moving into the silicon substrate.

Methods of boosting the performance of bipolar transistor, especially SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors, is provided together with the structure that is formed by the inventive methods. The methods include providing a species-rich dopant region comprising C, a noble gas, or mixtures thereof into at least a collector. The species-rich dopant region forms a perimeter or donut-shaped dopant region around a center portion of the collector. A first conductivity type dopant is then implanted into the center portion of the collector to form a first conductivity type dopant region that is laterally constrained, i.e., confined, by the outer species-rich dopant region.
