    Abstract: Semiconductor structures having improved dopant configurations are obtained by use of barrier layers containing silicon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms and having a thickness of about 5 to 50 Å. A doped semiconductor structure with controlled dopant configuration can be formed by: (a) providing a first semiconductor material region, (b) forming an interface layer comprising silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen on the first region, (c) forming a second semiconductor material region on the interface layer, the second semiconductor material region being on an opposite side of the interface layer from the first semiconductor material region, (d) providing a dopant in the second region, and (e) heating the first and second regions whereby at least a portion of the dopant diffuses from the second region through the interface layer to the first region.

    Abstract: A method for controlling dopant outdiffusion within an integrated circuit is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate, forming a trench in the substrate, and forming a first doped layer in the trench. The first doped layer has a first dopant concentration. The method further includes forming a dopant diffusion control structure above the first doped layer. The dopant diffusion control structure includes silicon nitride (Si.sub.x N.sub.y) disposed in grain boundaries of the first doped layer. The method also includes forming a second layer above the dopant diffusion control structure. The second layer has a second dopant concentration lower than the first dopant concentration. Forming the dopant diffusion control structure includes, in one example, forming a first oxide layer over the first doped silicon layer, nitridizing the first oxide layer, thereby forming an oxynitride (SiO.sub.x N.sub.y) layer and causing the silicon nitride to migrate into the grain boundaries, and removing the oxynitride layer, thereby exposing the silicon nitride at the grain boundaries at an interface of the first doped layer.

    Abstract: A method of substantially reducing and/or eliminating the amount of defects and/or impurities that amass at interfacial surfaces that are present in a multilayer structure is provided. Specifically, the method improves the efficiency of a forming gas anneal by providing a multilayer structure having a catalytic layer formed thereon or buried therein which allows for a significant increase in the amount of hydrogen or deuterium which can be incorporated into the structure. The method is also conducted at a low temperature (on the order of about 400° C. or less). Multilayer structures are also provided which include an annealed multilayer structure having at least one interfacial surface present therein. The at least one material interface contains a region of hydrogen or deuterium which substantially reduces defects and impurities present at the at least one interface.

    Abstract: The preferred embodiment provides a method for fabricating field effect transistors that have different threshold voltages without requiring excessive masking and other fabrication steps. In particular, the method facilitates the formation of FETs with different threshold voltages by doping the gate dielectric with various amounts of ions. This provides a built in potential in the gate dielectric proportional to the amount of ions in the gate dielectric. This potential changes the threshold voltage of the FET. Thus, by selectively doping the gate dielectric with ions the threshold voltage of a FET can be changed. The selective doping of many FETs to many different threshold voltages can be done with only one additional masking step. Thus, the present invention provides the ability to form FETs having different threshold voltages without requiring excessive process complexity.
