摘要： A method is provided for fabricating a strained MOS device having a silicon germanium on insulator (SGOI) substrate that includes a layer of monocrystalline silicon germanium material characterized by a first lattice constant. A strained silicon layer is formed over the layer of monocrystalline silicon germanium material. A layer of gate electrode material is patterned to form a gate electrode overlying a channel region. The strained silicon layer is disposed between the gate electrode and the channel region. First recess and second recesses are etched into the layer of monocrystalline silicon germanium material. A layer of monocrystalline semiconductor material is then epitaxially grown to fill the first and second recesses such that it is embedded at the opposing sides of the channel region. The layer of monocrystalline semiconductor material comprises silicon and germanium, and is characterized by a second lattice constant less than the first lattice constant.

摘要： A method for fabricating a MOSFET (e.g., a PMOS FET) includes providing a semiconductor substrate having surface characterized by a (110) surface orientation or (110) sidewall surfaces, forming a gate structure on the surface, and forming a source extension and a drain extension in the semiconductor substrate asymmetrically positioned with respect to the gate structure. An ion implantation process is performed at a non-zero tilt angle. At least one spacer and the gate electrode mask a portion of the surface during the ion implantation process such that the source extension and drain extension are asymmetrically positioned with respect to the gate structure by an asymmetry measure.

摘要： A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. The method forms a fin arrangement on a semiconductor substrate, the fin arrangement comprising one or more semiconductor fin structures. The method continues by forming a gate arrangement overlying the fin arrangement, where the gate arrangement includes one or more adjacent gate structures. The method proceeds by forming an outer spacer around sidewalls of each gate structure. The fin arrangement is then selectively etched, using the gate structure and the outer spacer(s) as an etch mask, resulting in one or more semiconductor fin sections underlying the gate structure(s). The method continues by forming a stress/strain inducing material adjacent sidewalls of the one or more semiconductor fin sections.

摘要： Semiconductor devices with embedded silicon germanium source/drain regions are formed with enhanced channel mobility, reduced contact resistance, and reduced silicide encroachment. Embodiments include embedded silicon germanium source/drain regions with a first portion having a relatively high germanium concentration, e.g., about 25 to about 35 at. %, an overlying second portion having a first layer with a relatively low germanium concentration, e.g., about 10 to about 20 at. %, and a second layer having a germanium concentration greater than that of the first layer. Embodiments include forming additional layers on the second layer, each odd numbered layer having relatively low germanium concentration, at. % germanium, and each even numbered layer having a relatively high germanium concentration. Embodiments include forming the first region at a thickness of about 400 Å to 28 about 800 Å, and the first and second layers at a thickness of about 30 Å to about 70 Å.

摘要： Methods for fabricating semiconductor structures, such as fin structures of FinFET transistors, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises providing a semiconductor substrate and forming a plurality of mandrels overlying the semiconductor substrate. Each of the mandrels has sidewalls. L-shaped spacers are formed about the sidewalls of the mandrels. Each L-shaped spacer comprises a rectangular portion disposed at a base of a mandrel and an orthogonal portion extending from the rectangular portion. Each L-shaped spacer also has a spacer width. The orthogonal portions are removed from each of the L-shaped spacers leaving at least a portion of the rectangular portions. The semiconductor substrate is etched to form fin structures, each fin structure having a width substantially equal to the spacer width.

摘要： Methods are disclosed for providing stacking fault reduced epitaxially grown silicon for use in hybrid surface orientation structures. In one embodiment, a method includes depositing a silicon nitride liner over a silicon oxide liner in an opening, etching to remove the silicon oxide liner and silicon nitride liner on a lower surface of the opening, undercutting the silicon nitride liner adjacent to the lower surface, and epitaxially growing silicon in the opening. The silicon is substantially reduced of stacking faults because of the negative slope created by the undercut.

摘要： By substantially amorphizing a selectively epitaxially grown silicon layer used for forming a raised drain and source region and a portion of the underlying substrate, or just the surface region of the substrate (prior to growing the silicon overlayer), the number of interface defects located between the grown silicon layer and the initial substrate surface may be significantly reduced. Consequently, deleterious effects such as charge carrier gettering or creating diffusion paths for dopants may be suppressed.
