摘要： A method (and semiconductor device) of fabricating a semiconductor device provides a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure or region by implanting ions in the STI region. After implantation, the region (of substrate material and ions of a different element) is thermally annealed producing a dielectric material operable for isolating two adjacent field-effect transistors (FET). This eliminates the conventional steps of removing substrate material to form the trench and refilling the trench with dielectric material. Implantation of nitrogen ions into an STI region adjacent a p-type FET applies a compressive stress to the transistor channel region to enhance transistor performance. Implantation of oxygen ions into an STI region adjacent an n-type FET applies a tensile stress to the transistor channel region to enhance transistor performance.

摘要： The present invention provides a method of inducing stress in a semiconductor device substrate by applying an ion implantation to a gate region before a source/drain annealing process. The source/drain region may then be annealed along with the gate which will cause the gate to expand in certain areas due to said ion implantation. As a result, stress caused by said expansion of the gate is transferred to the channel region in the semiconductor substrate.

摘要： A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. The method begins by providing a semiconductor device structure having electronic devices formed on a semiconductor substrate, and having an upper metal layer associated with electrical contacts for the electronic devices. The method continues by forming a diffusion barrier layer overlying the upper metal layer.

摘要： In the present invention, there is provided semiconductor devices such as a Schottky UV photodetector fabricated on n-type ZnO and MgxZn1-xO epitaxial films. The ZnO and MgxZn1-xO films are grown on R-plane sapphire substrates and the Schottky diodes are fabricated on the ZnO and MgxZn1-xO films using silver and aluminum as Schottky and ohmic contact metals, respectively. The Schottky diodes have circular patterns, where the inner circle is the Schottky contact, and the outside ring is the ohmic contact. Ag Schottky contact patterns are fabricated using standard liftoff techniques, while the Al ohmic contact patterns are formed using wet chemical etching. These detectors show low frequency photoresponsivity, high speed photoresponse, lower leakage current and low noise performance as compared to their photoconductive counterparts. This invention is also applicable to optical modulators, Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MESFETs) and more.
