A method includes forming a stressed Si layer in a trench formed in a stress layer deposited on a substrate. The stressed Si layer forms an active channel region of a device. The method further includes forming a gate structure in the active channel region formed from the stressed Si layer.

A method for forming a field effect transistor device includes forming a gate stack portion on a substrate, forming a spacer portion on the gates stack portion and a portion of the substrate, removing an exposed portion of the substrate, epitaxially growing a first silicon material on the exposed portion of the substrate, removing a portion of the epitaxially grown first silicon material to expose a second portion of the substrate, and epitaxially growing a second silicon material on the exposed second portion of the substrate and the first silicon material.

A method produces a transistor. The method forms a strain-producing layer on a base layer and then removes at least one portion of the strain-producing layer to create at least one opening in the strain-producing layer. This leaves first and second portions of the strain-producing layer on the substrate. The first and second portions of the strain-producing layer comprise source and drain stressor regions of the transistor. The method then grows a channel region in the opening of the strain-producing layer from the base layer, forms a gate insulator on the channel region, and forms a gate conductor on the gate insulator.

A method of manufacturing a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit, in which the method includes a reactive ion etch (RIE) of a CMOS circuit substrate that forms recesses, the CMOS circuit substrate including: an n-type field effect transistor (n-FET) region; a p-type field effect transistor (p-FET) region; an isolation region disposed between the n-FET and p-FET regions; and a gate wire comprising an n-FET gate, a p-FET gate, and gate material extending transversely from the n-FET gate across the isolation region to the p-FET gate, in which the recesses are formed adjacent to sidewalls of a reduced thickness; growing silicon germanium (SiGe) in the recesses; depositing a thin insulator layer on the CMOS circuit substrate; masking at least the p-FET region; removing the thin insulator layer from an unmasked n-FET region and an unmasked portion of the isolation region; etching the CMOS circuit substrate with hydrogen chloride (HCl) to remove the SiGe from the recesses in the n-FET region; and growing silicon carbon (SiC) in the exposed recesses.

摘要:
An embedded, strained epitaxial semiconductor material, i.e., an embedded stressor element, is formed at the footprint of at least one pre-fabricated field effect transistor that includes at least a patterned gate stack, a source region and a drain region. As a result, the metastability of the embedded, strained epitaxial semiconductor material is preserved and implant and anneal based relaxation mechanisms are avoided since the implants and anneals are performed prior to forming the embedded, strained epitaxial semiconductor material.
