摘要:
The speed of CMOS circuits is improved by imposing a longitudinal tensile stress on the NFETs and longitudinal compressive stress on the PFETs, by implanting in the sources and drains of the NFETs ions from the eighth column of the periodic table and hydrogen and implanting in the sources and drains of the PFETs ions from the fourth and sixth columns of the periodic table.

A process for fabricating a gate oxide of a vertical transistor. In a first step, a trench is formed in a substrate, the trench extending from a top surface of the substrate and having a trench bottom and a trench side wall. The trench side wall comprises a crystal plane and a crystal plane. Next, a sacrificial layer having a uniform thickness is formed on the trench side wall. Following formation of the sacrificial layer, nitrogen ions are implanted through the sacrificial layer such that the nitrogen ions are implanted into the crystal plane of the trench side wall, but not into the crystal plane of the trench side wall. The sacrificial layer is then removed and the trench side wall is oxidized to form the gate oxide.

A double-gate transistor having front (upper) and back gates that are aligned laterally is provided. The double-gate transistor includes a back gate thermal oxide layer below a device layer; a back gate electrode below a back gate thermal oxide layer; a front gate thermal oxide above the device layer: a front gate electrode layer above the front gate thermal oxide and vertically aligned with the back gate electrode; and a transistor body disposed above the back gate thermal oxide layer, symmetric with the first gate. The back gate electrode has a layer of oxide formed below the transistor body and on either side of a central portion of the back gate electrode, thereby positioning the back gate self-aligned with the front gate. The transistor also includes source and drain electrodes on opposite sides of said transistor body.
摘要:
A double-gate transistor has front (upper) and back gates aligned laterally by a process of forming symmetric sidewalls in proximity to the front gate and then oxidizing the back gate electrode at a temperature of at least 1000 degrees for a time sufficient to relieve stress in the structure, the oxide penetrating from the side of the transistor body to thicken the back gate oxide on the outer edges, leaving an effective thickness of gate oxide at the center, aligned with the front gate electrode. Optionally, an angled implant from the sides of an oxide enhancing species encourages relatively thicker oxide in the outer implanted areas and an oxide-retarding implant across the transistor body retards oxidation in the vertical direction, thereby permitting increase of the lateral extent of the oxidation.

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.

A method of enhancing the rate of transistor gate corner oxidation, without significantly increasing the thermal budget of the overall processing scheme is provided. Specifically, the method of the present invention includes implanting ions into gate corners of a Si-containing transistor, and exposing the transistor including implanted transistor gate corners to an oxidizing ambient. The ions employed in the implant step include Si; non-retarding oxidation ions such as O, Ge, As, B, P, In, Sb, Ga, F, Cl, He, Ar, Kr, and Xe; and mixtures thereof.

Excimer laser annealing is employed to improve the flexibility of gate activation and source/drain activation as well as to limit the extent of decomposition of a high dielectric constant storage capacitor in fabricating trench storage semiconductor memory devices.
摘要:
An interlocking disk apparatus for preventing disk slip in a disk stack of a magnetic or optical disk drive is provided. A textured region within the inner diameter of the disks in the disk stack is forced in tight contact with a conformable adjacent surface, such as a spacer ring, clamp plate, and/or hub flange. The textures on the disks penetrate into and/or through the conformal coatings on the adjacent surfaces, resulting in mechanical interlock that inhibits in-plane displacements of the disks from shock and generally improving interfacial contact of the surfaces within the disk stack, thus requiring lower clamping pressures to the disk stack and resulting in greater disk flatness and minimizing disk distortion. Electrostatic Discharge within the disk stack is prevented by diffusing conductive materials into the polymer conformal coating to increase its electrical conductivity.
