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： Forming a contact is disclosed. A trench through an interlayer dielectric layer is opened down to a substrate. The interlayer dielectric layer is formed on the substrate such that the substrate is the bottom surface of the trench. A cleaning process of the trench is performed. The bottom surface of the trench is recessed. A trench contact epitaxial layer is formed in the trench. An oxide layer is formed on top of the trench contact epitaxial layer in the trench. A metal oxide layer is formed on top of the oxide layer in the trench. A metal contact is formed on top of the metal oxide layer, where the oxide layer and the metal oxide layer together form a dipole layer.

摘要： One method herein includes forming a plurality of spaced-apart trenches that extend at least partially into a semiconducting substrate, wherein the trenches define a fin structure comprised of first and second layers of semiconducting material, wherein the first layer of semiconducting material is selectively etchable relative to the substrate and the second layer of semiconducting material, forming a sacrificial gate structure above the fin, wherein the gate structure includes a gate insulation layer and a gate electrode, forming a sidewall spacer adjacent the gate structure, performing an etching process to remove the sacrificial gate structure, thereby defining a gate cavity, performing at least one selective etching process to selectively remove the first layer of semiconducting material relative to the second layer of semiconducting material within the gate cavity, thereby defining a space between the second semiconducting material and the substrate, and forming a final gate structure in the gate cavity.
