    摘要: A method of forming conductive contacts to drain and source regions of a semiconductor device such as a field effect transistor (FET). A gate structure is formed over a portion of a semiconductor substrate, wherein the gate structure includes: a gate dielectric on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, a conductive gate aligned on the gate dielectric, a silicide layer aligned on the conductive gate, and a silicon nitride cap aligned on the silicide layer. Insulative spacers are formed on sidewalls of the gate structure, and the insulative spacers contact the semiconductor substrate. A drain region and a source region are formed within the semiconductor substrate, wherein a channel region is disposed between the drain region and the source region, and wherein the gate structure is over the channel region. After an insulative region containing a photosensitive material, such as boro-phoso-silicate glass, is formed over the gate structure and the semiconductor substrate, a cavity over the drain region and a cavity over the source region are formed photolithographically. The cavities are filled with conductive material such as tungsten, forming a conductive contact to the drain region and a conductive contact to the source region. The top surfaces of the conductive contacts and the top surface of the gate structure are coplanar.

    摘要: Disclosed is semiconductor structure with an insulator layer on a semiconductor substrate and a device layer is on the insulator layer. The substrate is doped with a relatively low dose of a dopant having a given conductivity type such that it has a relatively high resistivity. Additionally, a portion of the semiconductor substrate immediately adjacent to the insulator layer can be doped with a slightly higher dose of the same dopant, a different dopant having the same conductivity type or a combination thereof. Optionally, micro-cavities are created within this same portion so as to balance out any increase in conductivity due to increased doping with a corresponding increase in resistivity. Increasing the dopant concentration at the semiconductor substrate-insulator layer interface raises the threshold voltage (Vt) of any resulting parasitic capacitors and, thereby reduces harmonic behavior. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method for forming such a semiconductor structure.

    摘要: A method for modulating the stress caused by bird beak formation of small width devices by a nitrogen plasma treatment. The nitrogen plasma process forms a nitride liner about the trench walls that serves to prevent the formation of bird beaks in the isolation region during a subsequent oxidation step. In one embodiment, the plasma nitridation process occurs after trench etching, but prior to trench fill. In yet another embodiment, the plasma nitridation process occurs after trench fill. In yet another embodiment, a block mask is formed over predetermined active areas of the etched substrate prior to the plasma nitridation process. This embodiment is used in protecting the PFET device area from the plasma nitridation process thereby providing a means to form a PFET device area in which stress caused by bird beak formation increases the device performance of the PFET.
