摘要: A method of forming a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) device comprises defining an active area in an unstrained semiconductor layer structure, depositing a hard mask overlying the active area and a region outside of the active area, patterning the hard mask to expose the active area, selectively growing a strained semiconductor layer overlying the exposed active area, and forming a remainder of the MOS device. The active area includes a first doped region of first conductivity type and a second doped region of second conductivity type. The strained semiconductor layer provides a biaxially strained channel for the MOS device. During a portion of forming the remainder of the MOS device, dopant of the first conductivity type of the first doped region of the active area and dopant of the second conductivity type of the second doped region of the active area diffuses into overlying portions of the strained semiconductor layer to create a correspondingly doped strained semiconductor layer, thereby providing corresponding doping for the biaxially strained channel.

摘要: An anneal of an epitaxially grown crystalline semiconductor layer comprising a combination of group-IV elements. The layer contains at least one of the group of carbon and tin. The layer of epitaxially grown material is annealed at a temperature substantially in a range of 1,000 to 1,400 degrees Celsius for a period not to exceed 100 milliseconds within 10% of the peak temperature. The anneal is performed for example with a laser anneal or a flash lamp anneal. The limited-time anneal may improve carrier mobility of a transistor.

摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a gate dielectric over the semiconductor substrate; forming a gate electrode over the gate dielectric; forming an insulating layer over a sidewall of the gate electrode; defining source and drain regions in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the insulating layer; implanting a dopant in the source and drain regions of the semiconductor substrate to form doped source and drain regions; forming a sidewall spacer adjacent to the insulating layer; forming a recess in the semiconductor substrate in the source and drain regions, wherein the recess extends directly underneath the spacer a predetermined distance from a channel regions; and forming a stressor material in the recess. The method allows the stressor material to be formed closer to a channel region, thus improving carrier mobility in the channel while not degrading short channel effects.

摘要: Removing a portion of a structure in a semiconductor device to separate the structure. The structure has two portions of different heights. In one example, the structure is removed by forming a spacer over the lower portion adjacent to the sidewall of the higher portion. A second material is then formed on the structure outside of the spacer. The spacer is removed and the portion under the spacer is then removed to separate the structure at that location. In one embodiment, separate channel regions are implemented in the separated structures. In other embodiments, separate gate structures are implemented in the separated structures.
