    摘要: Methods are provided for the fabrication of abrupt and tunable offset spacers for improved transistor short channel control. The methods include the formation of a gate electrode within a dielectric layer, with only a top portion of the gate electrode exposed. Silicon is added on the top portion of the gate electrode, by selective epitaxial growth, for example. Etching of the dielectric layer is performed with added silicon at the top portion of the gate electrode serving as a silicon mask to prevent etching of the dielectric layer directly underneath the silicon mask, which includes overhangs over the gate electrode sidewalls. The etching creates offset spacers in a production-worthy manner, and can be used to form offset spacers that are asymmetrical in width. By running the methodology in a microloading regime, wider offset spacers may be created on narrower polysilicon gate features, thereby improving Vt roll-off.

    摘要: The method for forming a semiconductor device arrangement with raised source/drains includes depositing a raised source/drain layer on a substrate, followed by a sacrificial layer on the raised source/drain layer. A trench is formed in the sacrificial layer and the raised source/drain layer, and sidewall spacers are formed within the trench. A replacement gate is formed between the sidewall spacers and the sacrificial layer is removed to expose the raised source/drain regions. The sidewall spacers may then be removed from the sidewalls of the replacement gate, leaving the replacement gate a defined distance from the raised source/drain regions.

    摘要: A method of forming spaces between polysilicon lines can include patterning structures having top SiON layers and bottom amorphous carbon layers where the structures are located over a polysilicon layer and are separated by a first width, forming amorphous carbon spacers along lateral side walls of the patterned structures, etching apertures into the polysilicon layer not covered by the amorphous carbon spacers and the patterned structures where the apertures in the polysilicon layer between adjacent patterned structures have a second width, and ashing away the amorphous carbon spacers and the patterned structures. The second width is less than the first width.

    摘要: A method and arrangement for reducing the series resistance of the source and drain in a MOSFET device provides for epitaxially grown regions on top of the source and drain extensions to cover portions of the top surfaces of the silicide regions formed on the substrate. The epitaxial material provides an extra flow path for current to flow through to the silicide from the extension, as well as increasing the surface area between the source/drain and the silicide to reduce the contact resistance between the source/drain and the silicide.
