摘要:
A method of selectively forming a germanium structure within semiconductor manufacturing processes removes the native oxide from a nitride surface in a chemical oxide removal (COR) process and then exposes the heated nitride and oxide surface to a heated germanium containing gas to selectively form germanium only on the nitride surface but not the oxide surface.

摘要:
A method for doping a polysilicon gate conductor, without implanting the substrate in a manner that would effect source/drain formation is provided. The inventive method comprises forming at least one polysilicon gate region atop a substrate; forming oxide seed spacers abutting the polysilicon gate; forming source/drain oxide spacers selectively deposited on the oxide seed spacers by liquid phase deposition, and implanting at least one polysilicon gate region, wherein the source/drain oxide spacers protect an underlying portion of the substrate. Multiple gate regions may be processed on a single substrate using conventional patterning. A block-mask provided by patterned photoresist can be used prior to implantation to pre-select the substrate area for gate conductor doping with one dopant type.

摘要:
Methods form epitaxial materials by forming at least two gate stacks on a silicon substrate and forming sidewall spacers on sides of the gate stacks. Such methods pattern a recess in the silicon substrate between adjacent ones of the gate stacks. The methods also provide a liner in a bottom of the recess, and epitaxially grow epitaxial material from sidewalls of the recess to fill the recess with the epitaxial material.
摘要:
A method of forming at least one gate conductor of a complementary metal oxide semiconductor performs a chemical vapor deposition process of polysilicon over a surface where a polysilicon gate is to be located. This deposition can be performed through a mask to form gate structures directly, or a later patterning process can pattern the polysilicon into gate structures. During the chemical vapor deposition process, the method adds impurities in the chemical vapor deposition process to optimize the grain size of the polysilicon according to a number of different methods.
摘要:
A semiconductor-on-insulator structure includes a buried dielectric layer interposed between a base semiconductor substrate and a surface semiconductor layer. The buried dielectric layer comprises an oxide material that includes a nitrogen gradient that peaks at the interface of the buried dielectric layer with at least one of the base semiconductor substrate and surface semiconductor layer. The interface of the buried dielectric layer with the at least one of the base semiconductor substrate and surface semiconductor layer is abrupt, providing a transition in less than about 5 atomic layer thickness, and having less than about 10 angstroms RMS interfacial roughness. A second dielectric layer comprising an oxide dielectric material absent nitrogen may be located interposed between the buried dielectric layer and the surface semiconductor layer.
