    摘要: A method of manufacturing a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit, in which the method includes a reactive ion etch (RIE) of a CMOS circuit substrate that forms recesses, the CMOS circuit substrate including: an n-type field effect transistor (n-FET) region; a p-type field effect transistor (p-FET) region; an isolation region disposed between the n-FET and p-FET regions; and a gate wire comprising an n-FET gate, a p-FET gate, and gate material extending transversely from the n-FET gate across the isolation region to the p-FET gate, in which the recesses are formed adjacent to sidewalls of a reduced thickness; growing silicon germanium (SiGe) in the recesses; depositing a thin insulator layer on the CMOS circuit substrate; masking at least the p-FET region; removing the thin insulator layer from an unmasked n-FET region and an unmasked portion of the isolation region; etching the CMOS circuit substrate with hydrogen chloride (HCl) to remove the SiGe from the recesses in the n-FET region; and growing silicon carbon (SiC) in the exposed recesses.

    摘要: Accordingly, in one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for reducing stacking faults in an epitaxial semiconductor layer. In accordance with such method, a substrate is provided which includes a first single-crystal semiconductor region including a first semiconductor material, the first semiconductor region having a crystal orientation. An epitaxial layer including the first semiconductor material is grown on the first semiconductor region, the epitaxial layer having the crystal orientation. The substrate is then annealed with the epitaxial layer at a temperature greater than 1100 degrees Celsius in an ambient including hydrogen, whereby the step of annealing reduces stacking faults in the epitaxial layer.

    摘要: Semiconductor structures and methods for fabrication thereof are predicated upon epitaxial growth of an epitaxial surface semiconductor layer upon a semiconductor substrate having a first crystallographic orientation. The semiconductor substrate is exposed within an aperture within a semiconductor-on-insulator structure. The epitaxial surface semiconductor layer alternatively contacts or is isolated from a surface semiconductor layer having a second crystallographic orientation within the semiconductor-on-insulator structure. A recess of the semiconductor surface layer with respect to a buried dielectric layer thereunder and a hard mask layer thereover provides for inhibited second crystallographic phase growth within the epitaxial surface semiconductor layer.
