    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for fabricating a semiconductor device that includes providing a silicon substrate, forming a gate stack over the silicon substrate, performing a biased dry etching process to the substrate to remove a portion of the silicon substrate, thereby forming a recess region in the silicon substrate, performing a non-biased etching process to the recess region in the silicon substrate, thereby forming a bottle-neck shaped recess region in the silicon substrate, and epi-growing a semiconductor material in the bottle-neck shaped recess region in the silicon substrate. An embodiment may include a biased dry etching process including adding HeO2 gas and HBr gas. An embodiment may include performing a first biased dry etching process including N2 gas and performing a second biased dry etching process not including N2 gas. An embodiment may include performing an oxidation process to the recess region in the silicon substrate by adding oxygen gas to form silicon oxide on a portion of the recess region in the silicon substrate. As such, these processes form polymer protection to help form the bottle-neck shaped recess.

    摘要: MOSFETs having localized stressors are provided. The MOSFET has a stress-inducing layer formed in the source/drain regions, wherein the stress-inducing layer comprises a first semiconductor material and a second semiconductor material. A treatment is performed on the stress-inducing layer such that a reaction is caused with the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material is forced lower into the stress-inducing layer. The stress-inducing layer may be either a recessed region or non-recessed region. A first method involves forming a stress-inducing layer, such as SiGe, in the source/drain regions and performing a nitridation or oxidation process. A nitride or oxide film is formed in the top portion of the stress-inducing layer, forcing the Ge lower into the stress-inducing layer. Another method embodiment involves forming a reaction layer over the stress-inducing layer and performing a treatment process to cause the reaction layer to react with the stress-inducing layer.
