    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.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor transistor device comprises the steps as follows. Provide a semiconductor substrate with a gate dielectric layer thereover and a lower gate electrode structure formed over the gate dielectric layer with the lower gate electrode structure having a lower gate top. Form a planarizing layer over the gate dielectric layer leaving the gate top of the lower gate electrode structure exposed. Form an upper gate structure over the lower gate electrode structure to form a T-shaped gate electrode with an exposed lower surface of the upper gate surface and exposed vertical sidewalls of the gate electrode. Remove the planarizing layer. Form source/drain extensions in the substrate protected from the short channel effect. Form sidewall spacers adjacent to the exposed lower surface of the upper gate and the exposed vertical sidewalls of the T-shaped gate electrode. Form source/drain regions in the substrate. Form silicide layers on top of the T-shaped gate electrode and above the source/drain regions.

    摘要: A MOSFET fabrication methodology and device structure, exhibiting improved gate activation characteristics. The gate doping that may be introduced while the source drain regions are protected by a damascene mandrel to allow for a very high doping in the gate conductors, without excessively forming deep source/drain diffusions. The high gate conductor doping minimizes the effects of electrical depletion of carriers in the gate conductor. The MOSFET fabrication methodology and device structure further results in a device having a lower gate conductor width less than the minimum lithographic minimum image, and a wider upper gate conductor portion width which may be greater than the minimum lithographic image. Since the effective channel length of the MOSFET is defined by the length of the lower gate portion, and the line resistance is determined by the width of the upper gate portion, both short channel performance and low gate resistance are satisfied simultaneously.

    摘要: Field effect transistor with increased charge carrier mobility due to stress in the current channel 22. The stress is in the direction of current flow (longitudinal). In PFET devices, the stress is compressive; in NFET devices, the stress is tensile. The stress is created by a compressive film 34 in an area 32 under the channel. The compressive film pushes up on the channel 22, causing it to bend. In PFET devices, the compressive film is disposed under ends 31 of the channel (e.g. under the source and drain), thereby causing compression in an upper portion 22A of the channel. In NFET devices, the compressive film is disposed under a middle portion 40 of the channel (e.g. under the gate), thereby causing tension in the, upper portion of the channel. Therefore, both NFET and PFET devices can be enhanced. A method for making the devices is included.
