摘要:
A method is provided for treating a plurality of semiconductor substrates using the same aqueous SC-1 solution which solution removes and/or inhibits contamination of the semiconductor surfaces by metallic ions present in the solution or on the substrate surface comprising a basic solution containing hydrogen peroxide and an oxidation-resistant chelating additive such as CDTA in an amount effective to provide the desired treatment results. The SC-1 solution may be the conventional 5:1:1 (water:NH.sub.4 OH:H.sub.2 O.sub.2) solution or a dilute solution such as a 5:x:1 to 200:x:1 solution wherein x is 0.025 to 2.

摘要:
Disclosed are embodiments of a MOSFET with defined halos that are bound to defined source/drain extensions and a method of forming the MOSFET. A semiconductor layer is etched to form recesses that undercut a gate dielectric layer. A low energy implant forms halos. Then, a COR pre-clean is performed and the recesses are filled by epitaxial deposition. The epi can be in-situ doped or subsequently implanted to form source/drain extensions. Alternatively, the etch is immediately followed by the COR pre-clean, which is followed by epitaxial deposition to fill the recesses. During the epitaxial deposition process, the deposited material is doped to form in-situ doped halos and, then, the dopant is switched to form in-situ doped source/drain extensions adjacent to the halos. Alternatively, after the in-situ doped halos are formed the deposition process is performed without dopants and an implant is used to form source/drain extensions.
