Semiconductor device structures with reduced junction capacitance and drain induced barrier lowering, methods for fabricating such device structures, and methods for forming a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate. The semiconductor structure comprises a semiconductor layer and a dielectric layer disposed between the semiconductor layer and the substrate. The dielectric layer includes a first dielectric region with a first dielectric constant and a second dielectric region with a second dielectric constant that is greater than the first dielectric constant. In one embodiment, the dielectric constant of the first dielectric region may be less than about 3.9 and the dielectric constant of the second dielectric region may be greater than about ten (10). The semiconductor-on-insulator substrate comprises a semiconductor layer separated from a bulk layer by an insulator layer of a high-dielectric constant material. The fabrication methods comprise modifying a region of the dielectric layer to have a lower dielectric constant.

In a first aspect, a first method of manufacturing a PFET on a substrate is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) forming a gate channel region of the PFET having a first thickness on the substrate; and (2) forming at least one composite source/drain diffusion region of the PFET having a second thickness greater than the first thickness on the substrate. The at least one composite source/drain diffusion region is adapted to cause a strain in the gate channel region. Further, significantly all of the at least one composite source/drain diffusion region is below a bottom surface of a gate of the PFET. Numerous other aspects are provided.

摘要:
Semiconductor device structures with self-aligned doped regions and methods for forming such semiconductor device structures. The semiconductor structure comprises first and second doped regions of a first conductivity type defined in the semiconductor material of a substrate bordering a sidewall of a trench. An intervening region of the semiconductor material separates the first and second doped regions. A third doped region is defined in the semiconductor material bordering the sidewall of the trench and disposed between the first and second doped regions. The third doped region is doped to have a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type. Methods for forming the doped regions involve depositing either a layer of a material doped with both dopants or different layers each doped with one of the dopants in the trench and, then, diffusing the dopants from the layer or layers into the semiconductor material bordering the trench sidewall.

摘要:
A semiconductor structure for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell array that includes a plurality of vertical memory cells built on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafer and a body contact in the buried dielectric layer of the SOI wafer. The body contact electrically couples a semiconductor body with a channel region of the access device of one vertical memory cell and a semiconductor substrate of the SOI wafer. The body contact provides a current leakage path that reduces the impact of floating body effects upon the vertical memory cell. The body contact may be formed by an ion implantation process that modifies the stoichiometry of a region of the buried dielectric layer so that the modified region becomes electrically conductive with a relatively high resistance.
