摘要:
A semiconductor device having high tensile stress. The semiconductor device comprises a substrate having a source region and a drain region. Each of the source region and the drain region includes a plurality of separated source sections and drain sections, respectively. A shallow trench isolation (STI) region is formed between two separated source sections of the source region and between two separated drain sections of the drain region. A gate stack is formed on the substrate. A tensile inducing layer is formed over the substrate. The tensile inducing layer covers the STI regions, the source region, the drain region, and the gate stack. The tensile inducing layer is an insulation capable of causing tensile stress in the substrate.

A method of selectively forming a spacer on a first class of transistors and devices formed by such methods. The method can include depositing a conformal first deposition layer on a substrate with different classes of transistors situated thereon, depositing a blocking layer to at least one class of transistors, dry etching the first deposition layer, removing the blocking layer, depositing a conformal second deposition layer on the substrate, dry etching the second deposition layer and wet etching the remaining first deposition layer. Devices may include transistors of a first class with larger spacers compared to spacers of transistors of a second class.

A semiconductor device and method to form a semiconductor device is described. The semiconductor includes a gate stack disposed on a substrate. Tip regions are disposed in the substrate on either side of the gate stack. Halo regions are disposed in the substrate adjacent the tip regions. A threshold voltage implant region is disposed in the substrate directly below the gate stack. The concentration of dopant impurity atoms of a particular conductivity type is approximately the same in both the threshold voltage implant region as in the halo regions. The method includes a dopant impurity implant technique having sufficient strength to penetrate a gate stack.

A method of providing a halo implant region in a substrate of a MOS device having a gate electrode thereon and defining source/drain regions, a MOS device fabricated according to the above method, and a system comprising the MOS device. The method comprises: defining undercut recesses in the substrate at the source/drain regions thereof, the undercut recesses extending beneath the gate electrode; creating a halo implant region beneath the gate electrode between the recesses; and providing raised source/drain structures in the undercut recesses after creating the halo implant region.
摘要:
A notched gate configuration for high performance integrated circuits. The method of producing the notched gate configuration comprises forming a dielectric substrate and depositing a gate oxide layer, a conductive film layer, and a metal silicide layer over the gate oxide layer to form a conductive stack. A patterned silicon nitride mask layer is deposited over the conductive stack and over-etched to form a small notch in the metal silicide layer at each side of the patterned silicon nitride mask layer. This over-etching causes indentions to form in the conductive stack to result in decreased gate overlap between the gate and a source and drain which are later formed.
