摘要:
A method for fabricating a field effect transistor device includes patterning a fin on substrate, patterning a gate stack over a portion of the fin and a portion of an insulator layer arranged on the substrate, forming a protective barrier over the gate stack, a portion of the fin and a portion of the insulator layer, the protective barrier enveloping the gate stack, depositing a second insulator layer over portions of the fin and the protective barrier, performing a first etching process to selectively remove portions of the second insulator layer to define cavities that expose portions of source and drain regions of the fin without appreciably removing the protective barrier, and depositing a conductive material in the cavities.

A substrate is provided, having formed thereon a first region and a second region of a complementary type to the first region. A gate dielectric is deposited over the substrate, and a first full metal gate stack is deposited over the gate dielectric. The first full metal gate stack is removed over the first region to produce a resulting structure. Over the resulting structure, a second full metal gate stack is deposited, in contact with the gate dielectric over the first region. The first and second full metal gate stacks are encapsulated.

Equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) scaled high k/metal gate stacks are provided in which the capacitance bottleneck of the interfacial layer is substantially eliminated, with minimal compromise on the mobility of carriers in the channel of the device. In one embodiment, the aforementioned EOT scaled high k/metal gate stacks are achieved by increasing the dielectric constant of the interfacial layer to a value that is greater than the originally formed interfacial layer, i.e., the interfacial layer prior to diffusion of a high k material dopant element therein. In another embodiment, the aforementioned scaled high k/metal gate stacks are achieved by eliminating the interfacial layer from the structure. In yet another embodiment, the aforementioned high k/metal gate stacks are achieved by both increasing the dielectric constant of the interfacial layer and reducing/eliminating the interfacial layer.

A method is provided that includes providing a material stack of, from bottom to top, a relaxed and n-type doped silicon germanium alloy layer and a relaxed silicon germanium alloy layer, each layer having a uniform germanium content, on a surface of a relaxed and graded silicon germanium alloy buffer layer that is located within a pFET device region of a semiconductor substrate. Next, the relaxed silicon germanium alloy layer is patterned to provide at least one relaxed silicon germanium alloy fin having the uniform germanium content on the relaxed and n-type doped silicon germanium alloy layer. A strained germanium layer is then formed surrounding the at least one relaxed silicon germanium alloy fin. A portion of the strained germanium layer and the at least one relaxed silicon germanium alloy fin can be used as composited channel material for fabricating a pFinFET device.
