A strain layer is formed in at least a portion of the at least one gap. The strain layer is formed only under at least one of a source region and a drain region of the semiconductor device.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a device including an n-type device and a p-type device. In an aspect of the invention, the method involves doping a portion of a semiconductor substrate and forming a gap in the semiconductor substrate by removing at least a portion of the doped portion of the semiconductor substrate. The method further involves growing a strain layer in at least a portion of the gap in the semiconductor substrate. For the n-type device, the strain layer is grown on at least a portion which is substantially directly under a channel of the n-type device. For the p-type device, the strain layer is grown on at least a portion which is substantially directly under a source region or drain region of the p-type device and not substantially under a channel of the p-type device.

摘要:
A p-type field effect transistor (PFET) and an n-type field effect transistor (NFET) of an integrated circuit are provided. A first strain is applied to the channel region of the PFET but not the NFET via a lattice-mismatched semiconductor layer such as silicon germanium disposed in source and drain regions of only the PFET and not of the NFET. A process of making the PFET and NFET is provided. Trenches are etched in the areas to become the source and drain regions of the PFET and a lattice-mismatched silicon germanium layer is grown epitaxially therein to apply a strain to the channel region of the PFET adjacent thereto. A layer of silicon can be grown over the silicon germanium layer and a salicide formed from the layer of silicon to provide low-resistance source and drain regions.

A process is provided for making a PFET and an NFET. Areas in a first semiconductor region adjacent to a gate stack are recessed. A lattice-mismatched semiconductor layer is grown in the recesses to apply a strain to the channel region of the PFET adjacent thereto. A layer of the first semiconductor material can be grown over the lattice-mismatched semiconductor layer and a salicide formed from the layer of silicon to provide low-resistance source and drain regions.

摘要:
A first aspect of the present invention is a method of forming an isolation structure including: (a) providing a semiconductor substrate; (b) forming a buried N-doped region in the substrate; (c) forming a vertical trench in the substrate, the trench extending into the N-doped region; (d) removing the N-doped region to form a lateral trench communicating with and extending perpendicular to the vertical trench; and (e) at least partially filling the lateral trench and filling the vertical trench with one or more insulating materials.
摘要:
A lateral trench in a semiconductor substrate is formed by the following steps. Form a lateral implant mask (LIM) over a top surface of the semiconductor substrate. Implant a heavy dopant concentration into the substrate through the LIM to form a lateral implant region (LIR) in the substrate. Strip the LIM exposing the top surface of the substrate. Form an epitaxial silicon layer over the top surface of the substrate burying the LIR. Form a trench mask over the epitaxial layer. Etch a trench reaching through the epitaxial layer and the LIR. Form oxidized trench sidewalls, an oxidized trench bottom and oxidized sidewalls of the LIR. Etch the oxidized sidewalls of the LIR until the LIR is exposed. Form laterally extending trenches by etching away the LIR.
