    摘要: An impact ionisation MOSFET is formed with the offset from the gate to one of the source/drain regions disposed vertically within the device structure rather than horizontally. The semiconductor device comprises a first source/drain region having a first doping level; a second source/drain region having a second doping level and of opposite dopant type to the first source/drain region, the first and second source/drain regions being laterally separated by an intermediate region having a doping level less than either of the first and second doping levels; a gate electrode electrically insulated from, and disposed over, the intermediate region, the first and second source/drain regions being laterally aligned with the gate electrode; where the entire portion of the first source/drain region that forms a boundary with the intermediate region is separated vertically from the top of the intermediate region.

    摘要: A method of forming a pattern in at least one device layer in or on a substrate comprises: coating the device layer with a first photoresist layer; exposing the first photoresist using a first mask; developing the first photoresist layer to form a first pattern on the substrate; coating the substrate with a protection layer; treating the protection layer to cause a change therein where it is in contact with the first photoresist, to render the changed protection layer substantially immune to a subsequent exposure and/or developing step; coating the substrate with a second photoresist layer; exposing the second photoresist layer using a second mask; and developing the second photoresist layer to form a second pattern on the substrate without significantly affecting the first pattern in the first photoresist layer, wherein the first and second patterns together define interspersed features having a spatial frequency greater than that of the features defined in each of the first and second patterns separately. The process has particular utility in defining source, drain and fin features of finFET devices with a smaller feature size than otherwise achievable with the prevailing lithography tools.

    摘要: A silicon on insulator device has a silicon layer (10) over a buried insulating layer (12). A nickel layer is deposited over a gate (16), on sidewall spacers (22) on the sides of the gate (16), and in a cavity on both sides of the gate (16) in the silicon layer (10). A doped amorphous silicon layer fills the cavity. Annealing then takes place which forms polysilicon (40) over the sidewall spacers (22) and gate (16), but where the nickel is adjacent to single crystal silicon (10) a layer of NiSi (44) migrates to the surface leaving doped single crystal silicon (42) behind, forming in one step a source, drain, and source and drain contacts.
