A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided that includes forming a Ge-containing layer atop a p-type device regions of the substrate. Thereafter, a first dielectric layer is formed in a second portion of a substrate, and a second dielectric layer is formed overlying the first dielectric layer in the second portion of the substrate and overlying a first portion of the substrate. Gate structures may then formed atop the p-type device regions and n-type device regions of the substrate, in which the gate structures to the n-type device regions include a rare earth metal.

Methods for fabricating a CMOS structure use a first gate stack located over a first orientation region of a semiconductor substrate. A second gate material layer is located over the first gate stack and a laterally adjacent second orientation region of the semiconductor substrate. A planarizing layer is located upon the second gate material layer. The planarizing layer and the second gate material layer are non-selectively etched to form a second gate stack that approximates the height of the first gate stack. An etch stop layer may also be formed upon the first gate stack. The resulting CMOS structure may comprise different gate dielectrics, metal gates and silicon gates.

A method for forming a gate dielectric for an integrated circuit device. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the method includes forming an initial oxynitride layer upon a substrate material, the oxynitride layer having an initial physical thickness. The initial oxynitride layer is then subjected to a plasma nitridation, the plasma nitridation resulting in final oxynitride layer having a final physical thickness.

A method of forming a self-aligned gettering region within an SOI substrate is provided. Specifically, the inventive method includes the steps of forming a disposable spacer on each vertical sidewall of a patterned gate stack region, the patterned gate stack region being formed on a top Si-containing layer of an SOI substrate; implanting gettering species into the top Si-containing layer not protected by the disposable spacer and patterned gate stack region; and removing the disposable spacer and annealing the implanted gettering species so as to convert said species into a gettering region.

A method for forming an oxide layer on a silicon substrate includes forming a sacrificial oxide layer on the silicon substrate, implanting nitrogen into the silicon substrate, annealing the silicon substrate having implanted nitrogen, removing the sacrificial oxide layer from the silicon substrate, and forming an oxide layer on the silicon substrate. The dose of nitrogen implanted into silicon is preferably higher than 1e14 cm31 2. The annealing process is preferably performed at temperatures in a range from about 550° C. to about 1000° C. and for a time period between about 1 second and about 2 hours.

摘要:
A low programming voltage anti-fuse formed by a MOSFET (or MOS) or by a deep trench (DT) capacitor structure is described. Lowering the programming voltage is achieved by implanting a dose of heavy ions, such as indium, into the dielectric directly on the substrate or indirectly through a layer of polysilicon. The programming voltage can also be lowered on the MOSFET/MOS capacitor anti-fuse by accentuating the corners of active areas and gate areas of the device with suitable layout masks during processing. Silicon active area corner rounding steps should also be avoided in the fabrication of the anti-fuse to reduce the programming voltage. In the DT capacitor, lowering the programming voltage may be achieved by implanting the node dielectric of the DT anti-fuse with heavy ions either directly or through a conformal layer of polysilicon deposited on it or after the first amorphous silicon recess step during the fabrication of the DT capacitor.
