A field effect device is disclosed which has a body formed of a crystalline semiconductor material and has at least one vertically oriented section and at least one horizontally oriented section. The device is produced in SOI technology by fabricating first a formation of the device in masking insulators, and then transferring this formation through several etching steps into the SOI layer. The segmented field effect device combines FinFET, or fully depleted silicon-on-insulator FETs, type devices with fully depleted planar devices. This combination allows device width control with FinFET type devices. The segmented field effect device gives high current drive for a given layout area. The segmented field effect devices allow for the fabrication of high performance processors.

摘要:
The present invention provides an integrated semiconductor circuit containing a planar single gated FET and a FinFET located on the same SOI substrate. Specifically, the integrated semiconductor circuit includes a FinFET and a planar single gated FET located atop a buried insulating layer of an silicon-on-insulator substrate, the planar single gated FET is located on a surface of a patterned top semiconductor layer of the silicon-on-insulator substrate and the FinFET has a vertical channel that is perpendicular to the planar single gated FET. A method of forming a method such an integrated circuit is also provided. In the method, resist imaging and a patterned hard mask are used in trimming the width of the FinFET active device region and subsequent resist imaging and etching are used in thinning the thickness of the FET device area. The trimmed active FinFET device region is formed such that it lies perpendicular to the thinned planar single gated FET device region.
摘要:
Thin silicon channel SOI devices provide the advantage of sharper sub-threshold slope, high mobility, and better short-channel effect control but exhibit a typical disadvantage of increased series resistance. This high series resistance is avoided by using a raised source-drain (RSD), and expanding the source drain on the pFET transistor in the CMOS pair using selective epitaxial Si growth which is decoupled between nFETs and pFETs. By doing so, the series resistance is improved, the extensions are implanted after RSD formation and thus not exposed to the high thermal budget of the RSD process while the pFET and nFET can achieve independent effective offsets.

A method for preventing polysilicon stringer formation under the active device area of an isolated ultra-thin Si channel device is provided. The method utilizes a chemical oxide removal (COR) processing step to prevent stinger formation, instead of a conventional wet etch process wherein a chemical etchant such as HF is employed. A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure is also provided. The structure includes at least a top Si-containing layer located on a buried insulating layer; and an oxide filled trench isolation region located in the top Si-containing layer and a portion of the buried insulating layer. No undercut regions are located beneath the top Si-containing layer.
