    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes implanting an amorphizing species into a crystalline semiconductor substrate, the substrate having a transistor gate structure formed thereupon. Carbon is implanted into amorphized regions of the substrate, with specific implant conditions tailored such that the peak concentration of carbon species coincides with the end of the stacking faults, where the stacking faults are created during the recrystallization anneal. The implanted carbon pins partial dislocations so as to prevent the dislocations from disassociating from the end of the stacking faults and moving to a region in the substrate directly below the transistor gate structure. This removes the defects, which cause device leakage fail.

    摘要: A link portion between a first electrode and a second electrode includes a semiconductor link portion and a metal semiconductor alloy link portion comprising a first metal semiconductor alloy. An electrical pulse converts the entirety of the link portion into a second metal semiconductor alloy having a lower concentration of metal than the first metal semiconductor alloy. Due to the stoichiometric differences between the first and second metal semiconductor alloys, the link portion has a higher resistance after programming than prior to programming. The shift in electrical resistance well controlled, which is advantageously employed to as a programmable precision resistor.

    摘要: A method for enhancing spatial resolution of a transmission electron microscopy TEM) system configured for electron holography. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes configuring a first lens to form an initial virtual source with respect to an incident parallel beam, the initial virtual source positioned at a back focal plane of said first lens. A second lens is configured to form an intermediate virtual source with respect to the incident parallel beam, the position of said intermediate virtual source being dependent upon a focal length of the first lens and a focal length of the second lens. A third lens is configured to form a final virtual source with respect to the incident parallel beam, wherein the third lens has a focal length such that a front focal plane of the third lens lies beyond the position of the intermediate virtual source, with respect to a biprism location.

    摘要: A process for forming a conductive contact having a flat interface. A layer containing niobium and titanium is deposited on a silicon substrate and the resulting structure is annealed in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere at about 500° C. to about 700° C. By this process, a flatter interface between silicide and silicon, which is less likely to cause junction leakage, is formed on annealing. The step of annealing also produces a more uniform bilayer, which is a better barrier against tungsten encroachment during subsequent tungsten deposition. Larger silicide grains are also formed so that fewer grain boundaries are produced, reducing metal diffusion in grain boundaries. The process can be used to form contacts for very small devices and shallow junctions, such as are required for current and future semiconductor devices.
