摘要:
A finFet controls conduction channel conditions using one of two gate structures, preferably having a gate length shorter than the other gate structure to limit capacitance, which are opposed across the conduction channel. An asymmetric halo impurity implant performed at an angle adjacent to the gate structure for controlling conduction channel conditions forms a super steep retrograde well to limit short channel effects in the portion of the conduction channel which is controlled by the other gate structure.

A semiconductor structure which exhibits high device performance and improved short channel effects is provided. In particular, a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOFET) is provided that includes a low dopant concentration within an inversion layer of the structure; the inversion layer is an epitaxial semiconductor layer that is formed atop a portion of the semiconductor substrate. The structure also includes a well region of a first conductivity type beneath the inversion layer, wherein the well region has a central portion and two horizontally abutting end portions. The central portion has a higher concentration of a first conductivity type dopant than the two horizontally abutting end portions.

The inventive structure also includes a well region of a first conductivity type beneath the inversion layer, wherein the well region has a central portion and two horizontally abutting end portions. The central portion has a higher concentration of a first conductivity type dopant than the two horizontally abutting end portions. Such a well region may be referred to as a non-uniform super-steep retrograde well.

A shallow trench isolation structure containing a first shallow trench isolation portion comprising the first shallow trench material and a second shallow trench isolation portion comprising the second shallow trench material is provided. A first biaxial stress on at least one first active area and a second bidirectional stress on at least one second active area are manipulated separately to enhance charge carrier mobility in middle portions of the at least one first and second active areas by selection of the first and second shallow trench materials as well as adjusting the type of the shallow trench isolation material that each portion of the at least one first active area and the at least one second active area laterally abut.
摘要:
A structure and method for making includes adjacent pMOSFET and nMOSFET devices in which the gate stacks are each overlain by a stressing layer that provides compressive stress in the channel of the pMOSFET device and tensile stress in the channel of the nMOSFET device. One of the pMOSFET or nMOSFET device has a height shorter than that of the other adjacent device, and the shorter of the two devices is delineated by a discontinuity or opening in the stressing layer overlying the shorter device. In a preferred method for forming the devices a single stressing layer is formed over gate stacks having different heights to form a first type stress in the substrate under the gate stacks, and forming an opening in the stressing layer at a distance from the shorter gate stack so that a second type stress is formed under the shorter gate stack. In an exemplary embodiment, the opening may be extended into an underlying layer such as a source/drain region of the shorter gate stack and a bottom thereof silicided such that a contact formed therein exhibits reduced contact resistance.
