    摘要: A method of forming a low-defect, substantially relaxed SiGe-on-insulator substrate material is provided. The method includes first forming a Ge-containing layer on a surface of a first single crystal Si layer which is present atop a barrier layer that is resistant to Ge diffusion. A heating step is then performed at a temperature that approaches the melting point of the final SiGe alloy and retards the formation of stacking fault defects while retaining Ge. The heating step permits interdiffusion of Ge throughout the first single crystal Si layer and the Ge-containing layer thereby forming a substantially relaxed, single crystal SiGe layer atop the barrier layer. Moreover, because the heating step is carried out at a temperature that approaches the melting point of the final SiGe alloy, defects that persist in the single crystal SiGe layer as a result of relaxation are efficiently annihilated therefrom.

    摘要: A gate electrode structure is provided, which includes, from bottom to top, an optional, yet preferred metallic layer, a Ge rich-containing layer and a Si rich-containing layer. The sidewalls of the Ge rich-containing layer include a surface passivation layer. The inventive gate electrode structure serves as a low-temperature electrically activated gate electrode of a MOSFET in which the materials thereof as well as the method of fabricating the same are compatible with existing MOSFET fabrication techniques. The inventive gate electrode structure is electrically activated at low processing temperatures (on the order of less than 750° C.). Additionally, the inventive gate electrode structure also minimizes gate-depletion effects, does not contaminate a standard MOS fabrication facility and has sufficiently low reactivity of the exposed surfaces that renders such a gate electrode structure compatible with conventional MOSFET processing steps.

    摘要: A semiconducting material that has all the advantages of prior art SOI substrates including, for example, low parasitic capacitance and leakage, without having floating body effects is provided. More specifically, the present invention provides a Semiconductor-on-Pores (SOP) material that includes a top semiconductor layer and a bottom semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layers are separated in at least one region by a porous semiconductor material. Semiconductor structures including the SOP material as a substrate as well as a method of fabricating the SOP material are also provided. The method includes forming a p-type region with a first semiconductor layer, converting the p-type region to a porous semiconductor material, sealing the upper surface of the porous semiconductor material by annealing, and forming a second semiconductor layer atop the porous semiconductor material.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of fabricating a SiGe-on-insulator substrate in which lattice engineering is employed to decouple the interdependence between SiGe thickness, Ge fraction and strain relaxation. The method includes providing a SiGe-on-insulator substrate material comprising a SiGe alloy layer having a selected in-plane lattice parameter, a selected thickness parameter and a selected Ge content parameter, wherein the selected in-plane lattice parameter has a constant value and one or both of the other parameters, i.e., thickness or Ge content, have adjustable values; and adjusting one or both of the other parameters to final selected values, while maintaining the selected in-plane lattice parameter. The adjusting is achieved utilizing either a thinning process or a thermal dilution process depending on which parameters are fixed and which are adjustable.

    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprising a first strained semiconductor layer over an insulating layer is provided in which the first strained semiconductor layer is relatively thin (less than about 500 Å) and has a low defect density (stacking faults and threading defects). The method of the present invention begins with forming a stress-providing layer, such a SiGe alloy layer over a structure comprising a first semiconductor layer that is located atop an insulating layer. The stress-providing layer and the first semiconductor layer are then patterned into at least one island and thereafter the structure containing the at least one island is heated to a temperature that causes strain transfer from the stress-providing layer to the first semiconductor layer. After strain transfer, the stress-providing layer is removed from the structure to form a first strained semiconductor island layer directly atop said insulating layer.
