    Abstract: The wet etch stage of the salicide process normally used to fabricate polysilicon and silicon-based semiconductor transistors may not be appropriate for germanium-based transistors because the wet etch chemicals at such temperatures will dissolve the germanium leaving no source, gate, or drain for the transistor. In embodiments of the invention, nickel is blanket deposited over the source, drain, and gate regions of the germanium-based transistor, annealed to cause the nickel to react with the germanium, and wet etched to remove un-reacted nickel from dielectric regions (e.g., shallow trench isolation (STI) regions) but leave NiGe in the source, gate, and drain regions. The wet etch is a mild oxidizing solution at room temperature.

    Abstract: This invention adds to the art of replacement source-drain cMOS transistors. Processes may involve etching a recess in the substrate material using one equipment set, then performing deposition in another. Disclosed is a method to perform the etch and subsequent deposition in the same reactor without atmospheric exposure. In-situ etching of the source-drain recess for replacement source-drain applications provides several advantages over state of the art ex-situ etching. Transistor drive current is improved by: (1) Eliminating contamination of the silicon-epilayer interface when the as-etched surface is exposed to atmosphere and (2) Precise control over the shape of the etch recess. Deposition may be done by a variety of techniques including selective and non-selective methods. In the case of blanket deposition, a measure to avoid amorphous deposition in performance critical regions is also presented.

    Abstract: A bipolar transistor with a SiGe:C film and a seed layer forming beneath the SiGe:C film and methods of making same. The method includes placing a substrate in a reactor chamber and introducing a silicon source gas into the reactor chamber to form a silicon seed layer. The reactor chamber is maintained at a pressure below 45 Torr and a temperature between about 700° C. and 850° C. After the seed layer is formed, the silicon source gas is stopped. The reactor chamber is then simultaneously adjusted to a pressure between about 70 Torr and 90 Torr and a temperature between about 600° C. and 650° C. The silicon source gas, a germanium source gas, and a carbon source gas are introduced to form the SiGe:C film on the seed layer.

    Abstract: A method to selectively etch, and hence pattern, a semiconductor film deposited non-selectively is described. In one embodiment, a carbon-doped silicon film is deposited non-selectively such that the film forms an epitaxial region where deposited on a crystalline surface and an amorphous region where deposited on an amorphous surface. A four-component wet etch mixture is tuned to selectively etch the amorphous region while retaining the epitaxial region, wherein the four-component wet etch mixture comprises an oxidizing agent, an etchant, a buffer and a diluent.
