In a semiconductor film having a heterojunction structure, for example a semiconductor film including a SiGe layer and a Si layer formed on the SiGe layer, impurity concentration is controlled in such a manner that the concentration of impurity in the lower, SiGe layer becomes higher than that in the upper, Si layer by exploiting the fact that there is a difference between the SiGe layer and the Si layer in the diffusion coefficient of the impurity. The impurity contained in the semiconductor film 11 is of the conductivity type opposite to that of the transistor (p-type in the case of an n-type MOS transistor whereas n-type in the case of a p-type MOS transistor). In this way, the mobility in a semiconductor device including a semiconductor film having a heterojunction structure with a compression strain structure is increased, thereby improving the transistor characteristics and reliability of the device.

摘要:
In a p-type MOS transistor, a gate electrode is partially removed by a predetermined wet etching, so that an upper portion of the gate electrode is formed to be lower than an upper portion of a sidewall insulation film. As a result of such a constitution, in spite of formation of a tensile stress (TSEL) film leading to deterioration of characteristics of a p-type MOS transistor by nature, stresses applied from the TESL film to the gate electrode and the sidewall insulation film are dispersed as indicated by broken arrows in the drawing, and consequently, a compressive stress is applied to a channel region, so that a compressive strain is introduced. As stated above, in the p-type MOS transistor, in spite of formation of the TESL film, in reality, a strain to improve characteristics of the p-type MOS transistor is given to the channel region.

A p-channel MOS transistor includes a gate electrode formed on a silicon substrate via a gate insulating film, a channel region formed below the gate electrode within the silicon substrate, and a p-type source region and a p-type drain region formed at opposite sides of the channel region within the silicon substrate. In the p-channel MOS transistor, first and second sidewall insulating films are arranged on opposing sidewall faces of the gate electrode. First and second p-type epitaxial regions are respectively formed at outer sides of the first and second sidewall insulating films on the silicon substrate, and the first and second p-type epitaxial regions are arranged to be higher than the gate electrode. A stress film that stores tensile stress and covers the gate electrode via the first and second sidewall insulating films is continuously arranged over the first and second p-type epitaxial regions.
摘要:
In a semiconductor film having a heterojunction structure, for example a semiconductor film (11) including a SiGe layer (2) and a Si layer (3) formed on the SiGe layer (2), impurity concentration is controlled in such a manner that the concentration of impurity in the lower, SiGe layer (2) becomes higher than that in the upper, Si layer (3) by exploiting the fact that there is a difference between the SiGe layer (2) and the Si layer (3) in the diffusion coefficient of the impurity. The impurity contained in the semiconductor film 11 is of the conductivity type opposite to that of the transistor (p-type in the case of an n-type MOS transistor whereas n-type in the case of a p-type MOS transistor). In this way, the mobility in a semiconductor device including a semiconductor film having a heterojunction structure with a compression strain structure is increased, thereby improving the transistor characteristics and reliability of the device.
