摘要: A method of fabricating features of a vertical transistor include performing a first etch process to form a first portion of a fin in a substrate; depositing a spacer material on sidewalls of the first portion of the fin; performing a second etch process using the spacer material as a pattern to elongate the fin and form a second portion of the fin in the substrate, the second portion having a width that is greater than the first portion; oxidizing a region of the second portion of the fin beneath the spacer material to form an oxidized channel region; and removing the oxidized channel region to form a vacuum channel.

摘要: A semiconductor substrate includes a bulk substrate layer that extends along a first axis to define a width and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis to define a height. A plurality of hetero semiconductor fins includes an epitaxial material formed on a first region of the bulk substrate layer. A plurality of non-hetero semiconductor fins is formed on a second region of the bulk substrate layer different from the first region. The non-hetero semiconductor fins are integrally formed from the bulk substrate layer such that the material of the non-hetero semiconductor fins is different from the epitaxial material.

摘要: A modified silicon substrate having a substantially defect-free strain relaxed buffer layer of SiGe is suitable for use as a foundation on which to construct a high performance CMOS FinFET device. The substantially defect-free SiGe strain-relaxed buffer layer can be formed by making cuts in, or segmenting, a strained epitaxial film, causing edges of the film segments to experience an elastic strain relaxation. When the segments are small enough, the overall film is relaxed so that the film is substantially without dislocation defects. Once the substantially defect-free strain-relaxed buffer layer is formed, strained channel layers can be grown epitaxially from the relaxed SRB layer. The strained channel layers are then patterned to create fins for a FinFET device. In one embodiment, dual strained channel layers are formed—a tensilely strained layer for NFET devices, and a compressively strained layer for PFET devices.

摘要: A hetero-channel FinFET device provides enhanced switching performance over a FinFET device having a silicon channel, and is easier to integrate into a fabrication process than is a FinFET device having a germanium channel. A FinFET device featuring the heterogeneous Si/SiGe channel includes a fin having a central region made of silicon and sidewall regions made of SiGe. A hetero-channel pFET device in particular has higher carrier mobility and less gate-induced drain leakage current than either a silicon device or a SiGe device. The hetero-channel FinFET permits the SiGe portion of the channel to have a Ge concentration in the range of about 25-40% and permits the fin height to exceed 40 nm while remaining stable.

摘要: Methods and structures for forming a reduced resistance region of a finFET are described. According to some aspects, a dummy gate and first gate spacer may be formed above a fin comprising a first semiconductor composition. At least a portion of source and drain regions of the fin may be removed, and a second semiconductor composition may be formed in the source and drain regions in contact with the first semiconductor composition. A second gate spacer may be formed covering the first gate spacer. The methods may be used to form finFETs having reduced resistance at source and drain junctions.
