    摘要: In producing complementary sets of metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistors, including nFET and pFET), carrier mobility is enhanced or otherwise regulated through the reacting the material of the gate electrode with a metal to produce a stressed alloy (preferably CoSi2, NiSi, or PdSi) within a transistor gate. In the case of both the nFET and pFET, the inherent stress of the respective alloy results in an opposite stress on the channel of respective transistor. By maintaining opposite stresses in the nFET and pFET alloys or silicides, both types of transistors on a single chip or substrate can achieve an enhanced carrier mobility, thereby improving the performance of CMOS devices and integrated circuits.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure. The novel transistor structure comprises first and second source/drain (S/D) regions whose top surfaces are lower than a top surface of the channel region of the transistor structure. A semiconductor layer and a gate stack on the semiconductor layer are provided. The semiconductor layer includes (i) a channel region directly beneath the gate stack, and (ii) first and second semiconductor regions essentially not covered by the gate stack, and wherein the channel region is disposed between the first and second semiconductor regions. The first and second semiconductor regions are removed. Regions directly beneath the removed first and second semiconductor regions are removed so as to form first and second source/drain regions, respectively, such that top surfaces of the first and second source/drain regions are below a top surface of the channel region.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes memory cells having array transistors separated by minimum lithographic feature and unsilicided metal bit lines encapsulated by a diffusion barrier while high performance logic transistors may be formed on the same chip without compromise of performance including an effective channel, silicided contacts for low source/drain contact resistance, extension and halo implants for control of short channel effects and a dual work function semiconductor gate having a high impurity concentration and correspondingly thin depletion layer thickness commensurate with state of the art gate dielectric thickness. This structure is achieved by development of thick/tall structures of differing materials using a mask or anti-spacer, preferably of an easily planarized material, and using a similar mask planarized to the height of the structures of differing materials to decouple substrate and gate implantations in the logic transistors.

    摘要: A substrate under tension and/or compression improves performance of devices fabricated therein. Tension and/or compression can be imposed on a substrate through selection of appropriate gate sidewall spacer material disposed above a device channel region wherein the spacers are formed adjacent both the gate and the substrate and impose forces on adjacent substrate areas. Another embodiment comprises compressive stresses imposed in the plane of the channel using SOI sidewall spacers made of polysilicon that is expanded by oxidation. The substrate areas under compression or tension exhibit charge mobility characteristics different from those of a non-stressed substrate. By controllably varying these stresses within NFET and PFET devices formed on a substrate, improvements in IC performance have been demonstrated.
