    摘要: A process for forming both tensile and compressive strained silicon layers to accommodate channel regions of MOSFET or CMOS devices has been developed. After formation of shallow trench isolation structures as well as application of high temperature oxidation and activation procedures, the fabrication sequences used to obtain the strained silicon layers is initiated. A semiconductor alloy layer is deposited followed by an oxidation procedure used to segregate a germanium component from the overlying semiconductor alloy layer into an underlying single crystalline silicon body. The level of germanium segregated into the underlying single crystalline silicon body determines the level of strain, which is in tensile state of a subsequently selectively grown silicon layer. A second embodiment of this invention features the thinning of a portion of the semiconductor alloy layer prior to the oxidation procedure allowing a lower level of germanium to be segregated into a first underlying portion of the underlying single crystalline silicon body, while during the same oxidation procedure a second portion of the underlying single crystalline silicon body receives a higher level of germanium segregation. So the subsequently deposited silicon-germanium layer, although the same process and thickness, can be strained in different states (tensile or compressive) and levels, depending different underlying portions' germanium concentration.

    摘要: A method of forming gate electrodes having different work functions includes forming a first well of a first conductivity type and a second well of a second conductivity type. Subsequently, a gate dielectric layer is deposited over the first and second wells. A multi-layer stack comprising two or more thin metal/metal nitride layers is next formed over the first well. A thick metal/metal nitride layer is formed over the multi-layer stack to form the first gate electrode. The thick metal/metal nitride layer is also formed over the gate dielectric layer portion extending over the second well, thereby forming the second gate electrode. The first and second electrodes are then annealed, and thereafter exhibit different work functions as desired.

    摘要: A process of forming metal silicide on specific regions of a MOSFET device without degrading a MOSFET metal gate structure during a wet etch cycle of a self-aligned metal silicide (SALICIDE) procedure, has been developed. The process features protecting or encapsulating the metal gate structure prior to a wet etch procedure used to remove unreacted metal after metal silicide formation. This is accomplished via use of an amorphous silicon shape initially defined on an underlying metal gate structure, allowing the salicide procedure to form metal silicide on the top surface of the gate structure. The metal gate structure now featuring an overlying metal silicide shape and featuring overlying composite insulator sidewall spacers, can be subjected to a salicide wet etch procedure without risk of metal gate erosion.
