    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device with back side conductive plugs is provided here. The method begins by forming a gate structure overlying a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The SOI substrate has a support layer, an insulating layer overlying the support layer, an active semiconductor region overlying the insulating layer, and an isolation region outboard of the active semiconductor region. A first section of the gate structure is formed overlying the isolation region and a second section of the gate structure is formed overlying the active semiconductor region. The method continues by forming source/drain regions in the active semiconductor region, and thereafter removing the support layer from the SOI substrate. Next, the method forms conductive plugs for the gate structure and the source/drain regions, where each of the conductive plugs passes through the insulating layer.

    摘要: Methods for protecting gate stacks during fabrication of semiconductor devices and semiconductor devices fabricated from such methods are provided. Methods for fabricating a semiconductor device include providing a semiconductor substrate having an active region and a shallow trench isolation (STI) region. Epitaxial layer is formed on the active region to define a lateral overhang portion in a divot at the active region/STI region interface. A gate stack is formed having a first gate stack-forming layer overlying the semiconductor substrate. First gate stack-forming layer includes a non-conformal layer of metal gate-forming material which is directionally deposited to form a thinned break portion just below the lateral overhang portion. After the step of forming the gate stack, a first portion of the non-conformal layer is in the gate stack and a second portion is exposed. The thinned break portion at least partially isolates the first and second portions during subsequent etch chemistries.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor transistor device is provided. The fabrication method begins by forming a gate structure overlying a layer of semiconductor material, such as silicon. Then, spacers are formed about the sidewalls of the gate structure. Next, ions of an amorphizing species are implanted into the semiconductor material at a tilted angle toward the gate structure. The gate structure and the spacers are used as an ion implantation mask during this step. The ions form amorphized regions in the semiconductor material. Thereafter, the amorphized regions are selectively removed, resulting in corresponding recesses in the semiconductor material. In addition, the recesses are filled with stress inducing semiconductor material, and fabrication of the semiconductor transistor device is completed.

    摘要: A semiconductor is formed on an ETSOI layer, the thin Si layer of an ETSOI substrate, with enhanced channel stress. Embodiments include semiconductor devices having dual stress liners on the back surface of the ETSOI layer. An embodiment includes forming an ETSOI substrate comprising an extra thin layer of Si on a backside substrate with an insulating layer, e.g., a BOX, there between, forming a semiconductor device on the Si surface, removing the backside substrate, as by CMP and the insulting layer, as by wet etching, and forming a stress liner on the backside of the remaining Si layer opposite the semiconductor device. The use of stress liners on the backside of the ETSOI layer enhances channel stress without modifying ETSOI semiconductor process flow.
