    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating a transistor. According to the method, a doped material layer is formed on a semiconductor layer, and dopant is diffused from the doped material layer into the semiconductor layer to form a graded dopant region in the semiconductor layer. The graded dopant region has a higher doping concentration near a top surface of the semiconductor layer and a lower doping concentration near a bottom surface of the semiconductor layer, with a gradual decrease in the doping concentration. The doped material layer is removed, and then a gate stack is formed on the semiconductor layer. Source and drain regions are formed adjacent to an active area that is in the semiconductor layer underneath the gate stack. The active area comprises at least a portion of the graded dopant region, and the source and drain regions and the active area have the same conductivity type.

    摘要: Strained Si and strained SiGe on insulator devices, methods of manufacture and design structures is provided. The method includes growing an SiGe layer on a silicon on insulator wafer. The method further includes patterning the SiGe layer into PFET and NFET regions such that a strain in the SiGe layer in the PFET and NFET regions is relaxed. The method further includes amorphizing by ion implantation at least a portion of an Si layer directly underneath the SiGe layer. The method further includes performing a thermal anneal to recrystallize the Si layer such that a lattice constant is matched to that of the relaxed SiGe, thereby creating a tensile strain on the NFET region. The method further includes removing the SiGe layer from the NFET region. The method further includes performing a Ge process to convert the Si layer in the PFET region into compressively strained SiGe.

    摘要: A method of forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structure having multiple threshold voltage devices includes forming a first transistor device and a second transistor device on a semiconductor substrate. The first transistor device and second transistor device initially have sacrificial dummy gate structures. The sacrificial dummy gate structures are removed and a set of vertical oxide spacers are selectively formed for the first transistor device. The set of vertical oxide spacers are in direct contact with a gate dielectric layer of the first transistor device such that the first transistor device has a shifted threshold voltage with respect to the second transistor device.
