摘要:
Disclosed is a p-type field effect transistor (pFET) structure and method of forming the pFET. The pFET comprises embedded silicon germanium in the source/drain regions to increase longitudinal stress on the p-channel and, thereby, enhance transistor performance. Increased stress is achieved by increasing the depth of the source/drain regions and, thereby, the volume of the embedded silicon germanium. The greater depth (e.g., up to 100 nm) of the stressed silicon germanium source/drain regions is achieved by using a double BOX SOI wafer. Trenches are etched through a first silicon layer and first buried oxide layer and then the stressed silicon germanium is epitaxially grown from a second silicon layer. A second buried oxide layer isolates the pFET.

Disclosed is an integrated circuit structure and a method of making such a structure that has a substrate and P-type and N-type transistors on the substrate. The N-type transistor extension and source/drain regions comprise dopants implanted into the substrate. The P-type transistor extension and source/drain regions partially include a strained epitaxial silicon germanium, wherein the strained silicon germanium comprises of two layers, with a top layer that is closer to the gate stack than the bottom layer. The strained silicon germanium is in-situ doped and creates longitudinal stress on the channel region.

A field effect transistor (“FET”) is provided which includes a gate stack overlying a single-crystal semiconductor region of a substrate, a pair of first spacers disposed over sidewalls of said gate stack, and a pair of regions consisting essentially of a single-crystal semiconductor alloy which are disposed on opposite sides of the gate stack. Each of the semiconductor alloy regions is spaced a first distance from the gate stack. The source region and drain region of the FET are at least partly disposed in respective ones of the semiconductor alloy regions, such that the source region and the drain region are each spaced a second distance from the gate stack by a first spacer of the pair of first spacers, the second distance being different from the first distance.

摘要:
The embodiments of the invention provide a method, etc. for a pre-epitaxial disposable spacer integration scheme with very low temperature selective epitaxy for enhanced device performance. More specifically, one method begins by forming a first gate and a second gate on a substrate. Next, an oxide layer is formed on the first and second gates; and, a nitride layer is formed on the oxide layer. Portions of the nitride layer proximate the first gate, portions of the oxide layer proximate the first gate, and portions of the substrate proximate the first gate are removed so as to form source and drain recesses proximate the first gate. Following this, the method removes remaining portions of the nitride layer, including exposing remaining portions of the oxide layer. The removal of the remaining portions of the nitride layer only exposes the remaining portions of the oxide layer and the source and drain recesses.
