    摘要: Semiconductor devices comprising fully and partially depleted SOI transistors with accurately defined monocrystalline or substantially completely monocrystalline silicon source/drain extensions are fabricated by selectively pre-amorphizing intended source/drain extensions, ion implanting dopants into the pre-amorphized regions and laser thermal annealing to effect crystallization and activation of the source/drain extensions. Embodiments include forming a gate electrode over an SOI substrate with a gate dielectric layer therebetween, forming silicon nitride sidewall spacers on the side surfaces of the gate electrode, forming source/drain regions, forming a thermal oxide layer on the gate electrode and on the source/drain regions, removing the silicon nitride sidewall spacers, pre-amorphizing the intended source/drain extension regions, ion implanting impurities into the pre-amorphized regions and laser thermal annealing to crystallize the pre-amorphized regions and to activate the source/drain extensions.

    摘要: Dopant deactivation of source/drain extensions during silicidation is reduced by forming deep source/drain regions using a disposable dummy gate as a mask, forming metal silicide layers on the deep source/drain regions, removing the dummy gate and then forming the source/drain extensions using laser thermal annealing. Embodiments include angular ion implantation, after removing the dummy gate, to form spaced apart pre-amorphized regions, ion implanting to form source/drain extension implants extending deeper into the substrate than the pre-amorphized regions, and then laser thermal annealing to activate the source/drain extensions having a higher impurity concentration at the main surface of the substrate than deeper into the substrate. Subsequent processing includes forming sidewall spacers, a gate dielectric layer and then the gate electrode.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a MOSFET semiconductor device includes forming a gate electrode over a substrate and a gate oxide between the gate electrode and the substrate. Inert dopants are then implanted within the substrate to form amorphized source/drain regions in the substrate extending to a first depth significantly greater than the intended junction depth. The amorphized source/drain regions are implanted with source/drain dopants such that the dopants extend into the substrate to a second depth less than the first depth, above and spaced apart from the end-of-range defect region created at the first depth by the amorphization process. Laser thermal annealing recrystallizes the amorphous regions, activates the source/drain regions and forms source/drain junctions. Because the recrystallization front velocity towards the substrate main surface is greater than the dopant atom velocity in the liquid substrate during laser thermal annealing, the junctions are not pushed down to the amorphous/crystalline silicon interface. Thus, end-of-range defects are located in a region below and spaced apart from the junctions, and the defects are not located in the activated source/drain regions. Junction leakage as a result of the end-of-range defects is thereby reduced.

The laser is used to laser thermal anneal the semiconductor device within the chamber. The measuring device measures a depth of source/drain regions in the semiconductor device when the semiconductor device is within the chamber, and the controller receives measurement information from the measuring device and adjusts parameters of the laser.

    摘要: A method is provided for eliminating uneven heating of substrate active areas during laser thermal annealing (LTA) due to variations in gate electrode density. Embodiments include adding dummy structures, formed simultaneously with the gate electrodes, to “fill in” the spaces between isolated gate electrodes, such that the spacing between the gate electrodes and the dummy structures is the same as the spacing between the densest array of device structures on the substrate surface. Since the surface features (i.e., the gate electrodes and the dummy structures) appear substantially uniform to the LTA laser, the laser radiation is uniformly absorbed by the substrate, and the substrate surface is evenly heated.
