    摘要: Structures and methods of fabricating isolation regions for a semiconductor device. An example method comprises the following. We form one or more buried doped regions in a substrate. We form a stressor layer over the substrate. We form a strained layer over the stressor layer. We form STI trenches down through the strained layer and the stressor layer to as least partially expose the buried doped regions. We etch the buried doped regions to form at least a buried cavity in communication with the STI trenches. In the first and second embodiments, we fill only the STI trenches with insulation material to form isolation regions and form voids in the cavities. In the third and fourth embodiments, we fill both the STI trenches and the cavities with insulation material.

    摘要: A method of forming a relaxed silicon—germanium layer for use as an underlying layer for a subsequent overlying tensile strain silicon layer, has been developed. The method features initial growth of a underlying first silicon—germanium layer on a semiconductor substrate, compositionally graded to feature the largest germanium content at the interface of the first silicon—germanium layer and the semiconductor substrate, with the level of germanium decreasing as the growth of the graded first silicon—germanium layer progresses. This growth sequence allows the largest lattice mismatch and greatest level of threading dislocations to be present at the bottom of the graded silicon—germanium layer, with the magnitude of lattice mismatch and threading dislocations decreasing as the growth of the graded silicon—germanium layer progresses. In situ growth of an overlying silicon—germanium layer featuring uniform or non—graded germanium content, results in a relaxed silicon—germanium layer with a minimum of dislocations propagating from the underlying graded silicon—germanium layer. In situ growth of a silicon layer results in a tensile strain, low defect density layer to be used for MOSFET device applications.
