摘要:
A method (and resultant structure) of forming a semiconductor device, includes forming a metal-back-gate over a substrate and a metal back-gate, forming a passivation layer on the metal back-gate to prevent the metal back-gate from reacting with radical species, and providing an intermediate gluing layer between the substrate and the metal back-gate to enhance adhesion.

A method (and structure formed thereby) of forming a metal silicide contact on a non-planar silicon containing region having controlled consumption of the silicon containing region, includes forming a blanket metal layer over the silicon containing region, forming a silicon layer over the metal layer, etching anisotropically and selectively with respect to the metal the silicon layer, reacting the metal with silicon at a first temperature to form a metal silicon alloy, etching unreacted portions of the metal layer, annealing at a second temperature to form an alloy of metal-Si2, and selectively etching the unreacted silicon layer.
摘要:
A method (and structure) of forming a vertically-self-aligned silicide contact to an underlying SiGe layer, includes forming a layer of silicon of a first predetermined thickness on the SiGe layer and forming a layer of metal on the silicon layer, where the metal layer has a second predetermined thickness. A thermal annealing process at a predetermined temperature then forms a silicide of the silicon and metal, where the predetermined temperature is chosen to substantially preclude penetration of the silicide into the underlying SiGe layer.

A sub-0.05 nullm channel length fully-depleted SOI MOSFET device having low surface and drain resistance and minimal overlap capacitance and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The sub-0.05 nullm channel length fully-depleted SOI MOSFET device includes an SOI structure which contains at least an SOI layer having a channel region of a first thickness and abutting source/drain regions of a second thickness present therein, wherein the second thickness is greater than the first thickness and the source/drain regions having a salicide layer present thereon. A gate region is present also atop the SOI layer.

The present invention provides methods of producing trench structures having substantially void-free filler materials therein. The fillers may be grown from a liner material such as polysilicon formed along the sidewalls of the trench. Previously formed voids may be healed by exposing the voids and growing epitaxial silicon.

A double-gate field effect transistor (DGFET) is provided using a damascene-like replacement gate processing step to create sidewall source/drain regions, oxide spacers and gate structures inside a previously formed trench. The damascene-like replacement gate processing step allows for the fabrication of a tapered transistor body region having a thicker body under the contacts which reduces access resistance.

A method of forming at least one deep trench structure having an increased trench depth is provided. The method includes providing at least one deep trench having sidewalls that extend to a common bottom wall in a surface of a substrate. Each deep trench has initial dimensions that are wider than targeted dimensions for the deep trenches. To reduce the initial dimensions to that of the targeted dimensions, an epitaxial silicon film is formed selectively or non-selectively on at least some portions of the sidewalls using a low-temperature ultra-high vacuum epitaxial silicon growth tehnique.
摘要:
A method for forming a JOI structure which allows for reduction in both source/drain junction leakage and capacitance is provided. In the inventive method, an insulator layer is formed under the source/drain regions, but not under the channel region. The insulator layer is formed in the present invention after forming the gate stack region and recessing the semiconductor surface surrounding the gate stack region, followed by deposition of a conductive material such as polysilicon and, optionally, heavy source/drain diffusion formation.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of reducing Si consumption during a self-aligned silicide process which employs a MnullSi or MnullSinullGe alloy, where M is Co, Ni or CoNi, and a blanket layer of Si. The present invention is particularly useful in minimizing Si consumption in shallow junction and thin silicon-on-insulator (SOI) electronic devices.
