摘要:
Exemplary embodiments provide methods and structures for controlling work function values of dual metal gate electrodes for transistor devices. Specifically, the work function value of one of the PMOS and NMOS metal gate electrodes can be controlled by a reaction between stacked layers deposited on a gate dielectric material. The stacked layers can include a first-metal-containing material such as Al2O3, and/or AlN overlaid by a second-metal-containing material such as TaN, TiN, WN, MoN or their respective metals. The reaction between the stacked layers can create a metal gate material with a desired work function value ranging from about 4.35 eV to about 5.0 eV. The disclosed methods and structures can be used for CMOS transistors including MOSFET devices formed on a bulk substrate, and planar FET devices or 3-D MuGFET devices (e.g., FinFET devices) formed upon the oxide insulator of a SOI.

摘要:
An integrated process flow for forming an NMOS transistor (104) and an embedded SiGe (eSiGe) PMOS transistor (102) using a stress memorization technique (SMT) layer (126). The SMT layer (126) is deposited over both the NMOS transistor (104) and PMOS transistor (102). The portion of SMT layer (126) over PMOS transistor (102) is anisotropically etched to form spacers (128) without etching the portion of SMT layer (126) over NMOS transistor (104). Spacers (128) are used to align the SiGe recess etch and growth to form SiGe source/drain regions (132). The source/drain anneals are performed after etching the SMT layer (126) such that SMT layer (126) provides the desired stress to the NMOS transistor (104) without degrading PMOS transistor (102).

摘要:
A method for semiconductor processing provides a DSB semiconductor body having a first crystal orientation, a second crystal orientation, and a border region disposed between the first and second crystal orientations. The border region further has a defect associated with an interface of the first crystal orientation and second the second crystal orientation, wherein the defect generally extends a distance into the semiconductor body from a surface of the body. A sacrificial portion of the semiconductor body is removed from the surface thereof, wherein removing the sacrificial portion at least partially removes the defect. The sacrificial portion can be defined by oxidizing the surface at low temperature, wherein the oxidation at least partially consumes the defect. The sacrificial portion can also be removed by CMP. An STI feature may be further formed over the defect after removal of the sacrificial portion, therein consuming any remaining defect.

摘要:
An STI field oxide element in an IC which includes a layer of epitaxial semiconductor on sidewalls of the STI trench to increase the width of the active area adjacent to the STI trench and decrease a width of dielectric material in the STI trench is disclosed. STI etch residue is removed from the STI trench surface prior to growth of the epitaxial layer. The epitaxial semiconductor composition is matched to the composition of the adjacent active area. The epitaxial semiconductor may be undoped or doped to match the active area. The STI trench with the epitaxial layer is compatible with common STI passivation and fill processes. The thickness of the as-grown epitaxial semiconductor layer is selected to provide a desired active area width or a desired STI dielectric width.
