    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for customization of nanowire transistor devices to provide a diverse range of channel configurations and/or material systems within the same integrated circuit die. In accordance with one example embodiment, sacrificial fins are removed and replaced with custom material stacks of arbitrary composition and strain suitable for a given application. In one such case, each of a first set of the sacrificial fins is recessed or otherwise removed and replaced with a p-type layer stack, and each of a second set of the sacrificial fins is recessed or otherwise removed and replaced with an n-type layer stack. The p-type layer stack can be completely independent of the process for the n-type layer stack, and vice-versa. Numerous other circuit configurations and device variations are enabled using the techniques provided herein.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for incorporating high mobility strained channels into fin-based transistors (e.g., FinFETs such as double-gate, trigate, etc), wherein a stress material is cladded onto the channel area of the fin. In one example embodiment, silicon germanium (SiGe) is cladded onto silicon fins to provide a desired stress, although other fin and cladding materials can be used. The techniques are compatible with typical process flows, and the cladding deposition can occur at a plurality of locations within the process flow. In some cases, the built-in stress from the cladding layer may be enhanced with a source/drain stressor that compresses both the fin and cladding layers in the channel. In some cases, an optional capping layer can be provided to improve the gate dielectric/semiconductor interface. In one such embodiment, silicon is provided over a SiGe cladding layer to improve the gate dielectric/semiconductor interface.

    摘要: A precursor gas mixture for depositing an epitaxial carbon-doped silicon film is described. The precursor gas mixture is comprised of a volume of a silicon precursor gas, a volume of acetylene gas and a volume of a carrier gas. A method of forming a semiconductor structure having an epitaxial carbon-doped silicon film is also described. In the method, a substrate having a high polarity dielectric region and a low polarity crystalline region is provided. A precursor gas is flowed to provide a silyl surface above the high polarity dielectric region and a carbon-doped silicon layer above the low polarity crystalline region. The silyl surface is then removed from above the high polarity dielectric region. The flowing and removing steps are repeated to provide a carbon-doped silicon film of a desired thickness above the low polarity crystalline region.
