摘要:
A narrow groove is formed over a substrate. To form such a narrow groove, a first material is formed over a substrate, the first material having a sidewall. A spacer is formed abutting the sidewall. Subsequently a second material is formed adjacent to the spacer. The spacer is removed leaving a groove between the first material and second material. In one embodiment, the groove is filled with material for a narrow feature, such as a gate, and the first material and second material are removed. As a result a gate or other narrow feature is formed having a length defined by the width of a spacer. In another embodiment, an implant is performed through the small groove, resulting in a small localized implant.

An ultra-low thermal budget process is provided for channel implant by using a reverse process sequence where a conventional MOS transistor is formed without the channel implant. The originally deposited polysilicon gate is removed, a nitride film deposition and etch is used to form a nitride spacer with a predetermined configuration, and a self-aligned channel implant is performed. After the channel implantation, anneal and super-retrograded doping, the nitride spacer and the gate oxide are removed for subsequent regrowth of a second gate oxide and a polysilicon deposition to form a second polysilicon gate.

Impurities are formed in the active region of a semiconductor substrate by diffusion from a gate electrode sidewall spacer. A gate electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate with a gate dielectric layer therebetween. Sidewall spacers are formed on the side surfaces of the gate electrode. Dopant atoms are subsequently introduce to transform the spacers into solid dopant sources. Dopant atoms are diffused from the spacers into the semiconductor substrate to form first doped regions.

A process in accordance with the invention minimizes the number of heat steps to which an source-drain extension region is exposed, thus minimizing source-drain extension region diffusion and allowing more precise control of source-drain extension region thickness over conventional processes. In accordance with the invention, spacers are formed abutting the gate and then heavily doped source and drain regions are formed. The gate and source and drain regions are silicided. The spacers are subsequently removed and source-drain extension regions are then formed. In one embodiment of the invention, a laser doping process is used to form the source-drain extension regions.

A semiconductor device is provided with semiconducting sidewall spacers used in the formation of source/drain regions. The semiconducting sidewall spacers also reduce the possibility of suicide shorting through shallow source/drain junctions. Embodiments include doping the semiconducting sidewall spacers so that they serve as a source of impurities for forming source/drain extensions during activation annealing.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a MOSFET (e.g., a PMOS FET) includes providing a semiconductor substrate having surface characterized by a (110) surface orientation or (110) sidewall surfaces, forming a gate structure on the surface, and forming a source extension and a drain extension in the semiconductor substrate asymmetrically positioned with respect to the gate structure. An ion implantation process is performed at a non-zero tilt angle. At least one spacer and the gate electrode mask a portion of the surface during the ion implantation process such that the source extension and drain extension are asymmetrically positioned with respect to the gate structure by an asymmetry measure.

A stressed field effect transistor and methods for its fabrication are provided. The field effect transistor comprises a silicon substrate with a gate insulator overlying the silicon substrate. A gate electrode overlies the gate insulator and defines a channel region in the silicon substrate underlying the gate electrode. A first silicon germanium region having a first thickness is embedded in the silicon substrate and contacts the channel region. A second silicon germanium region having a second thickness greater than the first thickness and spaced apart from the channel region is also embedded in the silicon substrate.

Semiconductor devices with embedded silicon germanium source/drain regions are formed with enhanced channel mobility, reduced contact resistance, and reduced silicide encroachment. Embodiments include embedded silicon germanium source/drain regions with a first portion having a relatively high germanium concentration, e.g., about 25 to about 35 at. %, an overlying second portion having a first layer with a relatively low germanium concentration, e.g., about 10 to about 20 at. %, and a second layer having a germanium concentration greater than that of the first layer. Embodiments include forming additional layers on the second layer, each odd numbered layer having relatively low germanium concentration, at. % germanium, and each even numbered layer having a relatively high germanium concentration. Embodiments include forming the first region at a thickness of about 400 Å to 28 about 800 Å, and the first and second layers at a thickness of about 30 Å to about 70 Å.
