    摘要: A method of forming MOS devices is provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate dielectric over the semiconductor substrate, forming a gate electrode over the gate dielectric, forming a source/drain region in the semiconductor substrate, forming an additional layer, preferably by epitaxial growth, on the source/drain region, and siliciding at least a top portion of the additional layer. The additional layer compensates for at least a portion of the semiconductor material lost during manufacturing processes and increases the distance between the source/drain silicide and the substrate. As a result, the leakage current is reduced. A transistor formed using the preferred embodiment preferably includes a silicide over the gate electrode wherein the silicide extends beyond a sidewall boundary of the gate electrode.

    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.

    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.
