摘要:
A method for making a silicon wafer includes the steps of generating and stabilizing embryos that become oxygen precipitates by succeeding thermal annealing applied during a semiconductor device manufacturing process. In the silicon wafer, embryos are substantially removed in a denuded zone, and embryos are distributed at a relatively higher concentration in a bulk region. Also, by controlling behaviors of embryos, a silicon wafer having a desired concentration profile of oxygen precipitates by succeeding thermal annealing is manufactured with high reliability and reproducibility.

摘要:
The manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate supporting a gate electrode, amorphizing and doping the source/drain regions located on both sides of the gate electrode by performing a pre-amorphization implant (PAI) process and implanting C or N into the source/drain regions in or separately from the PAI process, forming a stress inducing layer on the substrate to cover the amorphized source/drain regions, and subsequently recrystallizing the source/drain regions by annealing the substrate. The stress inducing layer may then be removed. Also, the C or N may be implanted into the entirety of the source/drain regions after the regions have been amorphized, or only into upper portions of the amorphized source/drain regions.
摘要:
A method of forming a transistor induces stress in the channel region using a stress memorization technique (SMT). Impurities are implanted into a substrate adjacent a gate electrode structure to produce an amorphous region adjacent the channel region. The amorphous region is then recrystallized by forming a metal-oxide layer over the amorphous region, and then thermally treating the same. The crystallization creates compressive stress in the amorphous region. As a result, stress is induced in the channel region of the substrate located under the gate electrode structure.

A semiconductor device is formed with a gate pattern formed on a substrate, and a recrystallized region having a stacking fault defect in the substrate at one side of the gate pattern. The semiconductor device can have a reduced leakage current and improved channel conductivity.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device can be provided by forming a gate structure on a substrate and forming a diffusion barrier layer on the gate structure and the substrate, A stress layer can be formed on the diffusion barrier layer comprising a metal nitride or a metal oxide having a concentration of nitrogen or oxygen associated therewith. The stress layer can be heated to transform the stress layer into a tensile stress layer to reduce the concentration of the nitrogen or the oxygen in the stress layer. The tensile stress layer and the diffusion barrier layer can be removed.
