    Abstract: Dopant deactivation of source/drain extensions during silicidation is reduced by forming deep source/drain regions using a disposable dummy gate as a mask, forming metal silicide layers on the deep source/drain regions, removing the dummy gate and then forming the source/drain extensions using laser thermal annealing. Embodiments include angular ion implantation, after removing the dummy gate, to form spaced apart pre-amorphized regions, ion implanting to form source/drain extension implants extending deeper into the substrate than the pre-amorphized regions, and then laser thermal annealing to activate the source/drain extensions having a higher impurity concentration at the main surface of the substrate than deeper into the substrate. Subsequent processing includes forming sidewall spacers, a gate dielectric layer and then the gate electrode.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a MOSFET semiconductor device includes forming a gate electrode over a substrate and a gate oxide between the gate electrode and the substrate. Inert dopants are then implanted within the substrate to form amorphized source/drain regions in the substrate extending to a first depth significantly greater than the intended junction depth. The amorphized source/drain regions are implanted with source/drain dopants such that the dopants extend into the substrate to a second depth less than the first depth, above and spaced apart from the end-of-range defect region created at the first depth by the amorphization process. Laser thermal annealing recrystallizes the amorphous regions, activates the source/drain regions and forms source/drain junctions. Because the recrystallization front velocity towards the substrate main surface is greater than the dopant atom velocity in the liquid substrate during laser thermal annealing, the junctions are not pushed down to the amorphous/crystalline silicon interface. Thus, end-of-range defects are located in a region below and spaced apart from the junctions, and the defects are not located in the activated source/drain regions. Junction leakage as a result of the end-of-range defects is thereby reduced.

    Abstract: High quality dielectric layers, e.g., high-k dielectric layers comprised of at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal oxide or silicate, for use as gate insulator layers in in-laid metal gate MOS transistors and CMOS devices, are formed by electrolessly plating a metal or metal-based dielectric precursor layer comprising at least one refractory or lanthanum series transition metal, such as of Zr and/or Hf, on a silicon-based semiconductor substrate and then reacting the precursor layer with oxygen or with oxygen and the Si-based semiconductor substrate to form the at least one metal oxide or silicate. The inventive methodology prevents, or at least substantially reduces, oxygen access to the substrate surface during at least the initial stage(s) of formation of the gate insulator layer, thereby minimizing deleterious formation of oxygen-induced surface states at the semiconductor substrate/gate insulator interface.
