摘要:
A lateral heterojunction bipolar transistor is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate including a top semiconductor portion of a first semiconductor material having a first band gap and a doping of a first conductivity type. A stack of an extrinsic base and a base cap is formed such that the stack straddles over the top semiconductor portion. A dielectric spacer is formed around the stack. Ion implantation of dopants of a second conductivity type is performed to dope regions of the top semiconductor portion that are not masked by the stack and the dielectric spacer, thereby forming an emitter region and a collector region. A second semiconductor material having a second band gap greater than the first band gap and having a doping of the second conductivity type is selectively deposited on the emitter region and the collector region to form an emitter contact region and a collector contact region, respectively.

A germanium lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is formed employing a germanium-on-insulator (GOI) substrate. A silicon passivation layer is deposited on the top surface of a germanium layer in the GOI substrate. Shallow trench isolation structures, an extrinsic base region structure, and a base spacer are subsequently formed. A germanium emitter region, a germanium base region, and a germanium collector region are formed within the germanium layer by ion implantation. A silicon emitter region, a silicon base region, and a silicon collector region are formed in the silicon passivation layer. After optional formation of an emitter contact region and a collector contact region, metal semiconductor alloy regions can be formed. A wide gap contact for minority carriers is provided between the silicon base region and the germanium base region and between the silicon emitter region and the germanium emitter region.

A semiconductor device and a method of making the device are provided. The method can include forming a gate conductor overlying a major surface of a monocrystalline semiconductor region and forming first spacers on exposed walls of the gate conductor. Using the gate conductor and the first spacers as a mask, at least extension regions are implanted in the semiconductor region and dummy spacers are formed extending outward from the first spacers. Using the dummy spacers as a mask, the semiconductor region is etched to form recesses having at least substantially straight walls extending downward from the major surface to a bottom surface, such that a substantial angle is defined between the bottom surface and the walls. Subsequently, the process is continued by epitaxially growing regions of stressed monocrystalline semiconductor material within the recesses. Then the dummy spacers are removed and the transistor can be completed by forming source/drain regions of the transistor that are at least partially disposed in the stressed semiconductor material regions.

At least one gate dielectric, a gate electrode, and a gate cap dielectric are formed over at least one channel region of at least one semiconductor fin. A gate spacer is formed on the sidewalls of the gate electrode, exposing end portions of the fin on both sides of the gate electrode. The exposed portions of the semiconductor fin are vertically and laterally etched, thereby reducing the height and width of the at least one semiconductor fin in the end portions. Exposed portions of the insulator layer may also be recessed. A lattice-mismatched semiconductor material is grown on the remaining end portions of the at least one semiconductor fin by selective epitaxy with epitaxial registry with the at least one semiconductor fin. The lattice-mismatched material applies longitudinal stress along the channel of the finFET formed on the at least one semiconductor fin.

Field effect transistors fabricated using atomic layer doping processes are disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of an atomic layer doping method, a semiconducting surface and a dopant gas mixture are prepared. Further, a dopant layer is grown on the semiconducting surface by applying the dopant gas mixture to the semiconducting surface under a pressure that is less than 500 Torr and a temperature that is between 300° C. and 750° C. The dopant layer includes at least 4×1020 active dopant atoms per cm3 that react with atoms on the semiconducting surface such that the reacted atoms increase the conductivity of the semiconducting surface.
