In a CMOS semiconductor device having a substrate, a gate insulating layer formed on the substrate, at least one first polysilicon gate formed over the substrate in at least one PMOS transistor region, and at least one second polysilicon gate formed over the substrate in at least one NMOS transistor region, a total amount of Ge in the first polysilicon gate is the same as that in the second polysilicon gate, a distribution of Ge concentration in the first and/or second polysilicon gate is different according to a distance from the gate insulating layer, and Ge concentration in a portion of the first polysilicon gate adjacent to the gate insulating layer is higher than that in the second polysilicon gate. The Ge concentration in the portion of the first polysilicon gate adjacent to the gate insulating layer is more than two times as high as that in the second polysilicon gate. For example, it is preferable that the Ge concentration in the portion of the first polysilicon gate adjacent to the gate insulating layer is more than 20%, and Ge concentration in a portion of the second polysilicon gate adjacent to the gate insulating layer is below 10%.

A method of fabricating a SOI substrate includes sequentially forming a first semiconductor layer, which may be either a porous semiconductor layer or a bubble layer, a second semiconductor layer and a buried oxide layer on a front surface of a semiconductor substrate, forming an etch stopping layer, which may be a silicon nitride layer, on a front surface of a supporting substrate; contacting the etch stopping layer with the buried oxide layer to bond the semiconductor substrate to the supporting substrate; and selectively removing the semiconductor substrate and the first semiconductor layer to expose the second semiconductor layer. The method may additionally include forming a buffer oxide layer between the supporting substrate and the etch stopping layer.
摘要:
A SOI substrate having an etch stopping layer, a SOI integrated circuit fabricated on the SOI substrate, and a method of fabricating both are provided. The SOI substrate includes a supporting substrate, an etch stopping layer staked on the supporting substrate, a buried oxide layer and a semiconductor layer sequentially stacked on the etch stopping layer. The etch stopping layer preferably has an etch selectivity with respect to the buried oxide layer. A device isolation layer is preferably formed to define active regions. The device isolation, buried oxide and etch-stop layers are selectively removed to form first and second holes exposing the supporting substrate without damaging it. Semiconductor epitaxial layers grown on the exposed supporting substrate therefore have single crystalline structures without crystalline defects. Thus, when impurity regions are formed at surfaces of the epitaxial layers, a high performance PN diode having a superior leakage current characteristic may be formed.

A semiconductor device having a transistor of gate all around (GAA) type and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. A SOI substrate composed of a SOI layer, a buried oxide layer and a lower substrate is prepared. The SOI layer has at least one unit dual layer of a silicon germanium layer and a silicon layer. The SOI layer is patterned to form an active layer pattern to a certain direction. An insulation layer is formed to cover the active layer pattern. An etch stop layer is stacked on the active layer pattern covered with the insulation layer. The etch stop layer is patterned and removed at a gate region crossing the active layer pattern at the channel region. The insulation layer is removed at the gate region. The silicon germanium layer is isotropically etched and selectively removed to form a cavity at the channel region of the active layer pattern. In the state that the silicon germanium layer is selectively removed, a gate insulation layer is formed to cover the exposed surface of the active layer pattern. A gate conductivity layer is stacked on the substrate by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to fill the gate region including the cavity. The middle part of the channel region of the active layer pattern can be patterned to be divided by multiple patterns that are formed in a line.

摘要:
In an SOI-type semiconductor device and a method of forming the same a semiconductor device is formed in an SOI-type substrate that is composed of a lower silicon layer, a buried oxide layer, and an SOI layer. The SOI substrate includes a device region isolated by a device isolation layer and the buried oxide layer, in which a source/drain region for forming at least one MOSFET at a body composed of the SOI layer is formed; and a ground region which is isolated from the device region by the device isolation layer and is composed of the body. A bottom portion of the device isolation layer is separated from the buried oxide layer by a connecting portion that electrically connects a body of the device region to a body of the ground region through the SOI layer. A silicon germanium layer is formed in the SOI layer, and at least partially remains at the SOI layer connecting the body of the device region to the body of the ground region in the connecting portion. Preferably, the device isolation layer is a trench-type isolation layer. The silicon germanium layer is formed at an interface between the SOI layer and the lowest portion of the SOI layer, i.e., a buried oxide layer, or is sandwiched between silicon layers that constitute the SOI layer under the SOI layer.
摘要:
A method for forming SOI substrates including a SOI layer containing germanium and a strained silicon layer disposed on the SOI layer, comprises forming a relaxed silicon-germanium layer on a first silicon substrate using an epitaxial growth method, and forming a porous silicon-germanium layer thereon. A silicon-germanium epitaxial layer is formed on the porous silicon-germanium layer, an oxide layer is formed on a second silicon substrate, the second silicon substrate is bonded where the oxide layer is formed to the first silicon substrate where the silicon-germanium epitaxial layer is formed. Layers are removed to expose the silicon-germanium epitaxial layer and a strained silicon epitaxial layer is formed thereon. The porous silicon-germanium layer prevents lattice defects of the relaxed silicon-germanium layer from transferring to the silicon-germanium epitaxial layer. Therefore, it is possible to form the silicon-germanium layer and the strained silicon layer of the SOI layer without defects.
