摘要:
A semiconductor structure and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, an NFET device. The devices includes a stress receiving layer provided over a stress inducing layer with a material at an interface there between which reduces the occurrence and propagation of misfit dislocations in the structure. The stress receiving layer is silicon (Si), the stress inducing layer is silicon-germanium (SiGe) and the material is carbon which is provided by doping the layers during formation of the device. The carbon can be doped throughout the whole of the SiGe layer also.

While embedded silicon germanium alloy and silicon carbon alloy provide many useful applications, especially for enhancing the mobility of MOSFETs through stress engineering, formation of alloyed silicide on these surfaces degrades device performance. The present invention provides structures and methods for providing unalloyed silicide on such silicon alloy surfaces placed on semiconductor substrates. This enables the formation of low resistance contacts for both mobility enhanced PFETs with embedded SiGe and mobility enhanced NFETs with embedded Si:C on the same semiconductor substrate. Furthermore, this invention provides methods for thick epitaxial silicon alloy, especially thick epitaxial Si:C alloy, above the level of the gate dielectric to increase the stress on the channel on the transistor devices.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate having one or more device regions. Each device region comprises at least a base semiconductor substrate layer and a semiconductor device layer with a buried insulator layer located therebetween, while the semiconductor device layer is supported by one or more vertical insulating pillars. The vertical insulating pillars each preferably has a ledge extending between the base semiconductor substrate layer and the semiconductor device layer. The SOI substrates of the present invention can be readily formed from a precursor substrate structure with a “floating” semiconductor device layer that is spaced apart from the base semiconductor substrate layer by an air gap and is supported by one or more vertical insulating pillars. The air gap is preferably formed by selective removal of a sacrificial layer located between the base semiconductor substrate layer and the semiconductor device layer.

A MOSFET structure includes a planar semiconductor substrate, a gate dielectric and a gate. A UT SOI channel extends to a first depth below the top surface of the substrate and is self-aligned to and is laterally coextensive with the gate. Source-drain regions, extend to a second depth greater than the first depth below the top surface, and are self-aligned to the UT channel region. A BOX1 region extends across the entire structure, and vertically from the second depth to a third depth below the top surface. An upper portion of a BOX2 region under the UT channel region is self-aligned to and is laterally coextensive with the gate, and extends vertically from the first depth to a third depth below the top surface, and where the third depth is greater than the second depth.

摘要:
An embedded silicon carbon (Si:C) having a substitutional carbon content in excess of one percent in order to effectively increase electron mobility by application of tension to a channel region of an NFET is achieved by overfilling a gap or trench formed by transistor gate structures with Si:C and polishing an etching the Si:C to or below a surface of a raised gate structure in a super-Damascene process, leaving Si:C only in selected regions above the transistor source and drain, even though processes capable of depositing Si:C with sufficiently high substitutional carbon content are inherently non-selective.
摘要:
A semiconductor structure in which the poly depletion and parasitic capacitance problems with poly-Si gate are reduced is provided as well as a method of making the same. The structure includes a thin poly-Si gate and optimized deep source/drain doping. The method changes the sequence of the different implantations steps and makes it possible to fabricate the structure without having dose loss or doping penetration problems. In accordance with the present invention, a sacrificial hard mask capping layer is used to block the high energy implantation and a 3-1 spacer (off-set spacer, first spacer and second spacer) scheme is used to optimize the source/drain doping profile. With this approach, the dose implanted into the thin poly-Si gate can be increased while the deep source/drain implantation can be optimized without worrying about the penetration problem.
