    摘要: A highly stressed dielectric material, such as a tensile stressed material, may be deposited in a conformal manner so as to respect any deposition constraints caused by pronounced surface topography of highly scaled semiconductor devices, followed by the deposition of a buffer material having enhanced gap-filling capabilities. Thereafter, a further stress-inducing layer is deposited to form a doublet structure, which acts on the transistor elements, thereby enhancing overall performance, without increasing the probability of creating deposition-related irregularities. Hence, production yield as well as performance of highly scaled semiconductor devices may be increased.

    摘要: By forming a buffer material above differently stressed contact etch stop layers followed by the deposition of a further stress-inducing material, enhanced overall device performance may be accomplished, wherein an undesired influence of the additional stress-inducing layer may be reduced in device regions, for instance, by removing the additional material or by performing a relaxation implantation process. Furthermore, process uniformity during a patterning sequence for forming contact openings may be enhanced by partially removing the additional stress-inducing layer at an area at which a contact opening is to be formed.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure comprises a transistor element formed in a substrate. A stressed layer is formed over the transistor element. The stressed layer has a predetermined tensile intrinsic stress of about 900 MPa or more. Due to this high intrinsic stress, the stressed layer exerts considerable elastic forces to the channel region of the transistor element. Thus, tensile stress is created in the channel region. The tensile stress leads to an increase of the electron mobility in the channel region.

    摘要: In sophisticated semiconductor devices, non-insulating materials with extremely high internal stress level may be used in the contact level in order to enhance performance of circuit elements, such as field effect transistors, wherein the non-insulating material may be appropriately “encapsulated” by dielectric material. Consequently, a desired high strain level may be obtained on the basis of a reduced layer thickness, while still providing the insulating characteristics required in the contact level.
