    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a strained-silicon layer formed by deposition of amorphous silicon onto either a region of a semiconductor layer that has been implanted with ions to create a larger spacing between atoms in a crystalline lattice of the semiconductor layer or a silicon-ion layer that has been epitaxially grown on the semiconductor layer to have an increased spacing between atoms in the silicon-ion layer. Alternatively, the IC includes a strained-silicon layer formed by silicon epitaxial growth onto the region of the semiconductor layer that has been implanted with ions. The IC also preferably includes a CMOS device that preferably, but not necessarily, incorporates sub-0.1 micron technology. The implanted ions may preferably be heavy ions, such as germanium ions, antimony ions or others. Ion implantation may be done with a single implantation process, as well as with multiple implantation processes.

    摘要: Provided are methods and composition for forming a multi-layer isolation structure on an integrated circuit substrate. A process can include selecting a lower dielectric material for the lower dielectric layer and selecting an upper dielectric material for the upper dielectric layer. A range of effective dielectric constants that correspond to the thicknesses the lower and upper dielectric materials are selected. A range of thicknesses for each of the lower and upper dielectric layers are determined from a range of acceptable dielectric constants using information indicating an effective dielectric constant corresponding to thicknesses of the materials for both the lower upper dielectric layers, enabling the formation of the multi-layer isolation structure.

    摘要: Provided are methods and composition for forming an isolation structure on an integrated circuit substrate. First, a trench is etched in the integrated circuit substrate. A lower dielectric layer is then formed in the trench such that the lower dielectric layer at least partially fills the trench. An upper dielectric layer is then formed over the lower dielectric layer to create an isolation structure, the upper dielectric layer and the lower dielectric layer together having an effective dielectric constant that is less than that of silicon dioxide, thereby enabling capacitance associated with the isolation structure to be reduced.

    摘要: A method of removing a hard mask layer from a patterned layer formed over an underlying layer, where the hard mask layer is removed using an etchant that detrimentally etches the underlying layer when the underlying layer is exposed to the etchant for a length of time typically required to remove the hard mask layer, without detrimentally etching the underlying layer. The hard mask layer is modified so that the hard mask layer is etched by the etchant at a substantially faster rate than that at which the etchant etches the underlying layer. The hard mask layer is patterned. The patterned layer is etched to expose portions of the underlying layer. Both the hard mask layer and the exposed portions of the underlying layer are etched with the etchant, where the etchant etches the hard mask layer at a substantially faster rate than that at which the etchant etches the underlying layer, because of the modification of the hard mask layer.

    摘要: A calcium doped polysilicon gate electrodes for PMOS containing semiconductor devices. The calcium doped PMOS gate electrodes reduce migration of the boron dopant out of the gate electrode, through the gate dielectric and into the substrate thereby reducing the boron penetration problem increasingly encountered with smaller device size regimes and their thinner gate dielectrics. Calcium doping of the gate electrode may be achieved by a variety of techniques. It is further believed that the calcium doping may improve the boron dopant activation in the gate electrode, thereby further improving performance.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a CMOS device formed above a semiconductor substrate having ions therein that are implanted in the semiconductor substrate by an ion recoil procedure. The IC preferably, but not necessarily, incorporates sub-0.1 micron technology in the CMOS device. The implanted ions may preferably be germanium ions. A strained-silicon layer is preferably, but not necessarily, formed above the ion-implanted layer of the semiconductor substrate. The strained-silicon layer may be formed by a silicon epitaxial growth on the ion-implanted layer or by causing the ions to recoil into the semiconductor substrate with such energy that a region of the semiconductor substrate in the vicinity of the surface thereof is left substantially free of the ions, thereby forming a strained-silicon layer in the substantially ion-free region.
