摘要:
A semiconductor device is formed by providing a substrate and forming a semiconductor-containing layer atop the substrate. A mask having a plurality of openings is then formed atop the semiconductor-containing layer, wherein adjacent openings of the plurality of openings of the mask are separated by a minimum feature dimension. Thereafter, an angled ion implantation is performed to introduce dopants to a first portion of the semiconductor-containing layer, wherein a remaining portion that is substantially free of dopants is present beneath the mask. The first portion of the semiconductor-containing layer containing the dopants is removed selective to the remaining portion of semiconductor-containing layer that is substantially free of the dopants to provide a pattern of sublithographic dimension, and the pattern is transferred into the substrate to provide a fin structure of sublithographic dimension.

An FET device structure has a Fin-FET device with a fin of a Si based material. An oxide element is abutting the fin and exerts pressure onto the fin. The Fin-FET device channel is compressively stressed due to the pressure on the fin. A further FET device structure has Fin-FET devices in a row. An oxide element extending perpendicularly to the row of fins is abutting the fins and exerts pressure onto the fins. Device channels of the Fin-FET devices are compressively stressed due to the pressure on the fins.

In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a semiconductor substrate, epitaxially growing a Ge layer on the substrate, and epitaxially growing a semiconductor layer on the Ge layer, where the semiconductor layer has a thickness of 10 nm or less. This method further comprises removing at least a portion of the Ge layer to form a void beneath the Si layer, and filling the void at least partially with a dielectric material. In this way, the semiconductor layer becomes an extremely thin semiconductor-on-insulator layer. In one embodiment, after the void is filled with the dielectric material, in-situ doped source and drain regions are grown on the semiconductor layer.

An integrated circuit includes an SOI substrate with a unitary N+ layer below the BOX, a P region in the N+ layer, an eDRAM with an N+ plate, and logic/SRAM devices above the P region. The P region functions as a back gate of the logic/SRAM devices. An optional intrinsic (undoped) layer can be formed between the P back gate layer and the N+ layer to reduce the junction field and lower the junction leakage between the P back gate and the N+ layer. In another embodiment an N or N+ back gate can be formed in the P region. The N+ back gate functions as a second back gate of the logic/SRAM devices. The N+ plate of the SOI eDRAM, the P back gate, and the N+ back gate can be electrically biased at the same or different voltage potentials. Methods to fabricate the integrated circuits are also disclosed.

摘要:
Disclosed is an improved double patterning method for forming openings (e.g., vias or trenches) or mesas on a substrate. This method avoids the wafer topography effects seen in prior art double patterning techniques by ensuring that the substrate itself is only subjected to a single etch process. Specifically, in the method, a first mask layer is formed on the substrate and processed such that it has a doped region and multiple undoped regions within the doped region. Then, either the undoped regions or the doped region can be selectively removed in order to form a mask pattern above the substrate. Once the mask pattern is formed, an etch process can be performed to transfer the mask pattern into the substrate. Depending upon whether the undoped regions are removed or the doped region is removed, the mask pattern will form openings (e.g., vias or trenches) or mesas, respectively, on the substrate.
