    摘要: MOSFETs having localized stressors are provided. The MOSFET has a stress-inducing layer formed in the source/drain regions, wherein the stress-inducing layer comprises a first semiconductor material and a second semiconductor material. A treatment is performed on the stress-inducing layer such that a reaction is caused with the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material is forced lower into the stress-inducing layer. The stress-inducing layer may be either a recessed region or non-recessed region. A first method involves forming a stress-inducing layer, such as SiGe, in the source/drain regions and performing a nitridation or oxidation process. A nitride or oxide film is formed in the top portion of the stress-inducing layer, forcing the Ge lower into the stress-inducing layer. Another method embodiment involves forming a reaction layer over the stress-inducing layer and performing a treatment process to cause the reaction layer to react with the stress-inducing layer.

    摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate, forming a first device region on the substrate, forming a stressor layer overlying the first device region, and super annealing the stressor layer in the first device region, preferably by exposing the substrate to a high-energy radiance source, so that the stressor layer is super annealed for a substantially short duration. Preferably, the method further includes masking a second device region on the substrate while the first device region is super annealed. Alternatively, after the stressor layer in the first region is annealed, the stressor layer in the second device region is super annealed. A semiconductor structure formed using the method has different strains in the first and second device regions.

    摘要: A method of reducing the pattern-loading effect for selective epitaxial growth. The method includes the steps of: forming a mask layer over a substrate; forming an isolation region in the substrate isolating an active region and a dummy active region; removing at least a portion of the mask layer in the active region and thus forming a first opening, the substrate being exposed through the first opening; removing at least a portion of the mask layer in the dummy active region and thus forming a second opening, the substrate being exposed through the second opening; and performing selective epitaxial growth simultaneously on the substrate in the first opening and second openings. By introducing the second opening wherein epitaxial growth occurs, the pattern density is more uniform and thus the pattern-loading effect is reduced.

    摘要: A method of preparing a silicon layer or substrate surface for growing an epitaxial layer of SiGe thereon. The process comprises removing native oxide from the surface of the silicon with an HF solution, and then oxidizing the exposed silicon surface to form a chemically formed layer of silicon oxide of the process damaged silicon surface. The chemically formed layer of silicon oxide is then removed by a second HF cleaning process so as to leave a smooth silicon surface suitable for growing a SiGe layer.
