    摘要: An epitaxial semiconductor layer may be formed in a first area reserved for p-type field effect transistors. An ion implantation mask layer is formed and patterned to provide an opening in the first area, while blocking at least a second area reserved for n-type field effect transistors. Fluorine is implanted into the opening to form an epitaxial fluorine-doped semiconductor layer and an underlying fluorine-doped semiconductor layer in the first area. A composite gate stack including a high-k gate dielectric layer and an adjustment oxide layer is formed in the first and second area. P-type and n-type field effect transistors (FET's) are formed in the first and second areas, respectively. The epitaxial fluorine-doped semiconductor layer and the underlying fluorine-doped semiconductor layer compensate for the reduction of the decrease in the threshold voltage in the p-FET by the adjustment oxide portion directly above.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of improved MOSFET and CMOS structures that provides for increased control over short channel effects. Also disclosed are embodiments of associated methods of forming these structures. The embodiments suppress short channel effects by incorporating buried isolation regions into a transistor below source/drain extension regions and between deep source/drain regions and the channel region and, particularly, between deep source/drain regions and the halo regions. Buried isolation regions between the deep source/drain regions and the channel region minimize drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) as well as punch through. Additionally, because the deep source/drain regions and halo regions are separated by the buried isolation regions, side-wall junction capacitance and junction leakage are also minimized.

    摘要: Methods related to formation of a gate electrode are disclosed that employ a conductive hard mask as a protective layer during a photoresist removal process. In preferred embodiments, the conductive hard mask includes a metal containing conductor or a metal silicide. The invention prevents process damage on the gate dielectric during wet and/or dry resist strip, and since the conductive hard mask cannot be etched in typical resist strip chemistries, the invention also protects a metal electrode under the hard mask. The steps disclosed allow creation of a multiple work function metal gate electrode, or a mixed metal and polysilicon gate electrode, which do not suffer from the problems of the related art.

    摘要: An integrated circuit is provided including an FET gate structure formed on a substrate. This structure includes a gate dielectric on the substrate, and a metal nitride layer overlying the gate dielectric and in contact therewith. This metal nitride layer is characterized as MNx, where M is one of W, Re, Zr, and Hf, and x is in the range of about 0.7 to about 1.5. Preferably the layer is of WNx, and x is about 0.9. Varying the nitrogen concentration in the nitride layer permits integration of different FET characteristics on the same chip. In particular, varying x in the WNx layer permits adjustment of the threshold voltage in the different FETs. The polysilicon depletion effect is substantially reduced, and the gate structure can be made thermally stable up to about 1000° C.

    摘要: A method for forming a gate structure beginning with a semiconductor substrate provided with an isolation region formed therein. An HfO2 layer and a conductive layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate, subsequently. The conductive layer and the HfO2 layer are patterned into the gate structure. By utilizing an HfO2 layer as a gate dielectric, an effective K of the gate dielectric can be controlled to within 18 to 25. In addition, by employing a CVD method for forming the HfO2 layer, it is possible to obtain a high K gate dielectric with excellent leakage current characteristic as well as a low interface state with both a gate electrode and a semiconductor substrate.
