摘要： An embodiment of the invention reduces the external resistance of a transistor by utilizing a silicon germanium alloy for the source and drain regions and a nickel silicon germanium self-aligned silicide (i.e., salicide) layer to form the contact surface of the source and drain regions. The interface of the silicon germanium and the nickel silicon germanium silicide has a lower specific contact resistivity based on a decreased metal-semiconductor work function between the silicon germanium and the silicide and the increased carrier mobility in silicon germanium versus silicon. The silicon germanium may be doped to further tune its electrical properties. A reduction of the external resistance of a transistor equates to increased transistor performance both in switching speed and power consumption.

摘要： The mobility of carriers may be increased in strained channel epitaxial source/drain transistors. Doped silicon material may be blanket deposited after removing ion implanted source/drain regions. The blanket deposition forms amorphous films over non-source/drain areas and crystalline films in source/drain regions. By using an etch which is selective to amorphous silicon, the amorphous material may be removed. This may avoid some problems associated with selective deposition of the doped silicon material.
