Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a MOS transistor includes performing a thermal treatment to repair damaged substrate before forming source/drain extension regions, accordingly negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is reduced. Since the thermal treatment is performed before forming the source/drain extension regions, heat budget for forming the source/drain extension regions and junction depth and junction profile of the source/drain extension would not be affected. Therefore the provided method for manufacturing a MOS transistor is capable of reducing short channel effect and possesses a superior process compatibility.

The present invention provides a method for forming a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) device. The method includes at least the steps of forming a silicon germanium layer by the selective epitaxy growth process and forming a cap layer on the silicon germanium layer by the selective growth process. Hence, the undesirable effects caused by ion implantation can be mitigated.

A method for forming a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) device includes at least steps of forming a pair of trenches in a substrate at both sides of a gate structure, filling the trenches with a silicon germanium layer by a selective epitaxy growth process, forming a cap layer on the silicon germanium layer by a selective growth process, and forming a pair of source/drain regions by performing an ion implantation process. Hence, the undesirable effects caused by ion implantation can be mitigated.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a MOS transistor, in which, a tri-layer photo resist layer is used to form a patterned hard mask layer having a sound shape and a small size, and the patterned hard mask layer is used to form a gate. Thereafter, by forming and defining a cap layer, a recess is formed through etching in the substrate. The patterned hard mask is removed after epitaxial layers are formed in the recesses. Accordingly, a conventional poly bump issue and an STI oxide loss issue leading to contact bridge can be avoided.
