摘要:
A method of forming a bonded wafer structure includes providing a first semiconductor wafer substrate having a first silicon oxide layer at the top surface of the first semiconductor wafer substrate; providing a second semiconductor wafer substrate; forming a second silicon oxide layer on the second semiconductor wafer substrate; forming a silicon nitride layer on the second silicon oxide layer; and bringing the first silicon oxide layer of the first semiconductor wafer substrate into physical contact with the silicon nitride layer of the second semiconductor wafer substrate to form a bonded interface between the first silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer. Alternatively, a third silicon oxide layer may be formed on the silicon nitride layer before bonding. A bonded interface is then formed between the first and third silicon oxide layers. A bonded wafer structure formed by such a method is also provided.

The present invention provides a method of forming asymmetric field-effect-transistors. The method includes forming a gate structure on top of a semiconductor substrate, the gate structure including a gate stack and spacers adjacent to sidewalls of the gate stack, and having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side; performing angled ion-implantation from the first side of the gate structure in the substrate, thereby forming an ion-implanted region adjacent to the first side, wherein the gate structure prevents the angled ion-implantation from reaching the substrate adjacent to the second side of the gate structure; and performing epitaxial growth on the substrate at the first and second sides of the gate structure. As a result, epitaxial growth on the ion-implanted region is much slower than a region experiencing no ion-implantation. A source region formed to the second side of the gate structure by the epitaxial growth has a height higher than a drain region formed to the first side of the gate structure by the epitaxial growth. A semiconductor structure formed thereby is also provided.

A method for forming a field effect device includes forming a gate portion on a silicon-on-insulator layer (SOI), forming first spacer members on the SOI layer adjacent to the gate portion, depositing a layer of spacer material on the SOI layer, the first spacer members, and the gate portion, removing portions of the layer of spacer material to form second spacer members on the SOI layer adjacent to the first spacer members, forming a source region and a drain region on the SOI layer by implanting ions in the SOI layer, and etching to remove the second spacer members.
