Channel depth in a field effect transistor is limited by an intra-layer structure including a discontinuous film or layer formed within a layer or substrate of semiconductor material. Channel depth can thus be controlled much in the manner of SOI or UT-SOI technology but with less expensive substrates and greater flexibility of channel depth control while avoiding floating body effects characteristic of SOI technology. The profile or cross-sectional shape of the discontinuous film may be controlled to an ogee or staircase shape to improve short channel effects and reduce source/drain and extension resistance without increase of capacitance. Materials for the discontinuous film may also be chosen to impose stress on the transistor channel from within the substrate or layer and provide increased levels of such stress to increase carrier mobility. Carrier mobility may be increased in combination with other meritorious effects.

A CMOS structure and methods for fabricating the CMOS structure provide that a first stressed layer located over a first transistor and a second stressed layer located over a second transistor abut but do not overlap. Such an abutment absent overlap provides for enhanced manufacturing flexibility when forming a contact to a silicide layer upon a source/drain region within one of the first transistor and the second transistor.

A simple, effective and economical method to improved the yield of CMOS devices using contact etching stopper liner, including, single neutral stressed liner, single stressed liner and dual stress liner (DSL), technology is provided. In order to improve the chip yield, the present invention provides a method in which a sputter etching process is employed to smooth/flatten (i.e., thin) the top surface of the contact etch stopper liners. When DSL technology is used, the inventive sputter etching process is used to reduce the complexity caused by DSL boundaries to smooth/flatten top surface of the DSL, which results in significant yield increase. The present invention also provides a semiconductor structure including at least one etched liner.
