Specifically, the SOI substrate has a substantially planar upper surface and comprises: (1) first regions that do not contain any buried insulator, (2) second regions that contain first portions of the patterned buried insulator layer at a first depth (i.e., measured from the planar upper surface of the SOI substrate), and (3) third regions that contain second portions of the patterned buried insulator layer at a second depth, where the first depth is larger than the second depth. One or more field effect transistors (FETs) can be formed in the SOI substrate. For example, the FETs may comprise: channel regions in the first regions of the SOI substrate, source and drain regions in the second regions of the SOI substrate, and source/drain extension regions in the third regions of the SOI substrate.

    摘要: Multiple finFETs containing semiconductor fins with the same height for the top but with different heights for the bottom are formed. Patterned oxygen implant masks are used to form a buried oxide layer with at least two different levels of oxide top surface. After the formation of the buried oxide layer, the top semiconductor layer has a substantially level top surface. Fins are formed by lithographically patterning and etching the top semiconductor layer. The resulting fins may be semiconductor fins with different heights or fins comprising an upper portion of semiconductor fins and a lower portion of oxide fins. In both cases, semiconductor fins of different heights are used to form finFETs with fractional on-current of a full height finFET.

    摘要: The present invention relates to high performance three-dimensional (3D) field effect transistors (FETs). Specifically, a 3D semiconductor structure having a bottom surface oriented along one of a first set of equivalent crystal planes and multiple additional surfaces oriented along a second, different set of equivalent crystal planes can be used to form a high performance 3D FET with carrier channels oriented along the second, different set of equivalent crystal planes. More importantly, such a 3D semiconductor structure can be readily formed over the same substrate with an additional 3D semiconductor structure having a bottom surface and multiple additional surfaces all oriented along the first set of equivalent crystal planes. The additional 3D semiconductor structure can be used to form an additional 3D FET, which is complementary to the above-described 3D FET and has carrier channels oriented along the first set of equivalent crystal planes.

    摘要: A fin-type field effect transistor (finFET) structure comprises a substrate having a planar upper surface, an elongated fin on the planar upper surface of the substrate (wherein the length and the height of the fin are greater that the width of the fin) and an elongated gate conductor on the planar upper surface of the substrate. The length and the height of the gate conductor are greater than the width of the gate conductor. The fin comprises a center section comprising a semiconducting channel region and end sections distal to the channel region. The end sections of the fin comprise conductive source and drain regions. The gate conductor covers the channel region of the fin. The sidewalls of the channel region comprise a different crystal orientation than the sidewalls of the source and drain regions.
