Abstract:
A transistor structure with improved device performance, and a method for forming the same is provided. The transistor structure is an SOI (silicon-on-insulator) transistor. In one embodiment, a silicon layer over the oxide layer is a relatively uniform film and in another embodiment, the silicon layer over the oxide layer is a silicon fin. The transistor devices include source/drain structures formed of a strain material that extends through the silicon layer, through the oxide layer and into the underlying substrate which may be silicon. The source/drain structures also include portions that extend above the upper surface of the silicon layer thereby providing an increased volume of the strain layer to provide added carrier mobility and higher performance.

Methods and structures for forming semiconductor FinFET devices with superior repeatability and reliability include providing APT (anti-punch through) layer accurately formed beneath a semiconductor fins, are provided. Both the n-type and p-type APT layers are formed prior to the formation of the material from which the semiconductor fin is formed. In some embodiments, barrier layers are added between the accurately positioned APT layer and the semiconductor fin. Ion implantation methods and epitaxial growth methods are used to form appropriately doped APT layers in a semiconductor substrate surface. The fin material is formed over the APT layers using epitaxial growth/deposition methods.
