Abstract:
A new MOS transistor is described. The transistor has a source/drain region that comprises 3 portions. Each portion is the result of a separate ion implant step. The combination of the three portions of the source/drain region yields a transistor of superior performance with high drive current, low sub-threshold current and gate-edge leakage.
Abstract:
In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of forming junctions in a silicon-germanium layer (20). In this particular embodiment, the method comprises implanting a dopant (80) into the silicon-germanium layer (20) and implanting fluorine (70) into the silicon-germanium layer (20).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a trench isolation structure, a method of manufacture therefor and a method for manufacturing an integrated circuit including the same. The trench isolation structure (130), in one embodiment, includes a trench located within a substrate (110), the trench having a buffer layer (133) located on sidewalls thereof. The trench isolation structure (130) further includes a barrier layer (135) located over the buffer layer (133), and fill material (138) located over the barrier layer (135) and substantially filling the trench.
