摘要:
An FET device is disclosed which contains a source and a drain that are each provided with an extension. The source and the drain, and their extensions, are composed of epitaxial materials containing Ge or C. The epitaxial materials and the Si substrate have differing lattice constants, consequently the source and the drain and their extensions are imparting a state of stress onto the channel. For a PFET device the epitaxial material may be SiGe, or Ge, and the channel may be in a compressive state of stress. For an NFET device the epitaxial material may be SiC and the channel may be in a tensile state of stress. A method for fabricating an FET device is also disclosed. One may form a first recession in the Si substrate to a first depth on opposing sides of the gate. The first recession is filled epitaxially with a first epitaxial material. Then, a second recession may be formed in the Si substrate to a second depth, which is greater than the first depth. Next, one may fill the second recession with a second epitaxial material, which is the same kind of material as the first epitaxial material. The epitaxial materials are selected to have a different lattice constant than the Si substrate, and consequently a state of stress is being imparted onto the channel.

A FinFET having spacers with a substantially uniform profile along the length of a gate stack which covers a portion of a fin of semiconductor material formed on a substrate is provided by depositing spacer material conformally on both the fins and gate stack and performing an angled ion impurity implant approximately parallel to the gate stack to selectively cause damage to only spacer material deposited on the fin. Due to the damage caused by the angled implant, the spacer material on the fins can be etched with high selectivity to the spacer material on the gate stack.

A method and structure are disclosed for a defect free Si:C source/drain in an NFET device. A wafer is accepted with a primary surface of {100} crystallographic orientation. A recess is formed in the wafer in such manner that the bottom surface and the four sidewall surfaces of the recess are all having {100} crystallographic orientations. A Si:C material is eptaxially grown in the recess, and due to the crystallographic orientations the defect density next to each of the four sidewall surfaces is essentially the same as next to the bottom surface. The epitaxially filled recess is used in the source/drain fabrication of an NFET device. The NFET device is oriented along the crystallographic direction, and has the device channel under a tensile strain due to the defect free Si:C in the source/drain.

A device and method for fabrication of fin devices for an integrated circuit includes forming fin structures in a semiconductor material of a semiconductor device wherein the semiconductor material is exposed on sidewalls of the fin structures. A donor material is epitaxially deposited on the exposed sidewalls of the fin structures. A condensation process is applied to move the donor material through the sidewalls into the semiconductor material such that accommodation of the donor material causes a strain in the semiconductor material of the fin structures. The donor material is removed, and a field effect transistor is formed from the fin structure.
