摘要:
A method of fabricating a SOI semiconductor device with an implanted ground plane in the silicon substrate to increase the doping concentration underneath the channel region for suppressing short-channel effects (SCEs) such as drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL). For a N-channel MOSFET, the implanted ground plane is P+ type such that if a P-type underlying substrate is used, the ground plane is automatically connected to ground potential (the substrate potential). For a SOI-type CMOS semiconductor device with two spaced-apart implanted ground planes each self-aligned to be underneath a corresponding channel region of the CMOS, two SOI-type MOSFET semiconductor devices of opposite conductivity types are formed on a same semiconductor substrate. The increase in doping concentration underneath the channel region prevents the electric field lines from the gate from terminating under the channel region; instead, the electric field lines terminate in the ground plane, thereby suppressing the short-channel effects and the off-state leakage current of the MOSFETs.

The present invention discloses a method of fabricating a SOI semiconductor device with a quasi surrounding gate in the silicon substrate to increase the device current per unit device width, and allows better control over the short-channel effect and sub-threshold leakage. This method also enables fabrication of variable gate-length devices using conventional techniques compared to vertical/pillar transistors.

Among other things, a semiconductor device comprising an aligned gate and a method for forming the semiconductor device are provided. The semiconductor device comprises a gate formed according to a multi-gate structure, such as a gate-all-around structure. A first gate portion of the gate is formed above a first channel of the semiconductor device. A second gate portion of the gate is formed below the first channel, and is aligned with the first gate portion. In an example of forming the gate, a cavity is etched within a semiconductor layer formed above a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed around at least some of the cavity to define a region of the cavity within which the second gate portion is to be formed in a self-aligned manner with the first gate portion. In this way, the semiconductor device comprises a first gate portion aligned with a second gate portion.

In the context of optimal performance of the transistor high doping means equal to or exceeds 1×1019 atom/cm3 results in that the device can operate as a junctionless transistor device.
摘要:
A method for producing buried oxide layers in selected portions of a semiconductor substrate including the steps of applying a patterned mask made from a high-density material over a semiconductor substrate and selectively forming buried oxide layers by oxygen ion implantation. The high-density material of the mask is preferably tungsten, but can also be made from other suitable materials such as silicon nitride. A MOS transistor is made by the process of the present invention by applying the high-density mask material over the gate of the transistor, and forming buried oxide layers by ion implantation beneath only the source region and drain region of the transistor. The completed MOS transistor has the characteristics of reduced drain and source capacitance, reduced leakage, and faster response, but does not suffer from the floating-body effect of MOS transistors made by SOI processes.

An improved method for fabricating a bipolar transistor reduces base current resistance which heretofore has limited the switching frequency and current handling ability of bipolar transistors. The transistor base and emitter are formed as a diffusion through an emitter contact pedestal formed on an epitaxial layer over a substrate. Access to the n-type emitter is through the emitter contact pedestal while access to the lightly doped p-type base is through a nearby heavily doped p-type base insert. Electrical isolation between the pedestal and the base insert is ensured by forming oxide sidewall spacers on the emitter contact pedestal during the implant used to form the base insert. Defining the isolation with sidewall spacers permits reliable isolation of emitter and base insert while minimizing their physical separation. The minimized physical separation provides a base current path with considerably less total resistance than is found in the background art in which the isolation is defined photo-lithographically.

This process consists of producing patterns (17) of an insulating material on a monocrystalline silicon substrate (12), depositing on the complete structure an amorphous or polycrystalline silicon film (26), covering the latter with a layer (28) of an encapsulating material, carrying out a heat treatment on the structure obtained serving to vertically embed in substrate (12) the insulating material patterns (17) and forming above the latter a monocrystalline silicon layer (33), eliminating the encapsulating material layer (28) and etching the monocrystalline silicon layer obtained (33), so as to form said islands (34).
