摘要:
A method of patterning a semiconductor film is described. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a hard mask material is formed on a silicon film having a global crystal orientation wherein the semiconductor film has a first crystal plane and second crystal plane, wherein the first crystal plane is denser than the second crystal plane and wherein the hard mask is formed on the second crystal plane. Next, the hard mask and semiconductor film are patterned into a hard mask covered semiconductor structure. The hard mask covered semiconductor structured is then exposed to a wet etch process which has sufficient chemical strength to etch the second crystal plane but insufficient chemical strength to etch the first crystal plane.

摘要:
In general, in one aspect, a method includes forming an n-diffusion fin and a p-diffusion fin in a semiconductor substrate. A high dielectric constant layer is formed over the substrate. A first work function metal layer is created over the n-diffusion fin and a second work function metal layer, thicker than the first, is created over the n-diffusion fin. A silicon germanium layer is formed over the first and second work function metal layers. A ploysilicon layer is formed over the silicon germanium layer and is polished. The ploysilicon layer over the first work function metal layer is thicker than the ploysilicon layer over the second work function metal layer. A hard mask is patterned and used to etch the ploysilicon layer and the silicon germanium layer to create gate stacks. The etch rate of the silicon germanium layer is faster over the first work function metal layer.

摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body having a top surface and a first and second laterally opposite sidewalls as formed on an insulating substrate is claimed. A gate dielectric is formed on the top surface of the semiconductor body and on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. A gate electrode is then formed on the gate dielectric on the top surface of the semiconductor body and adjacent to the gate dielectric on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. The gate electrode comprises a metal film formed directly adjacent to the gate dielectric layer. A pair of source and drain regions are then formed in the semiconductor body on opposite sides of the gate electrode.
