摘要:
Edges of source and drain regions along the direction of a channel of a field effect transistor are formed within an active area offset from the boundary between the active area and a shallow trench isolation structure. Such a structure may be manufactured by forming a gate electrode structure that overlies the boundary so that edges of the source and drain regions are self aligned to the edges of the gate electrode structure on the active area side of the boundary. Unnecessary portions of the gate electrode that does not overlie the source and drain regions may be removed to reduce parasitic capacitance. Shallow trench isolation edge current is eliminated since the semiconductor regions in the current path of the field effect transistor are offset from the boundary between the active area and the shallow trench isolation structure.

An SRAM cell structure containing a PFET gate dielectric having a thicker effective oxide thickness (EOT) than an NFET gate dielectric and methods of manufacturing the same is provided. The PFET gate dielectric and the NFET gate dielectric may be silicon oxynitride layers, CVD oxide layers, or high-K dielectric layers having different thicknesses. The PFET gate dielectric may be a stack of two dielectric layers and the NFET gate dielectric may be one of the two dielectric layers. The greater EOT of the PFET gate dielectric produces reduction of the on-current of the pull-up PFETs for optimal SRAM performance.

The present invention provides a 6T-SRAM semiconducting structure including a substrate having an SOI region and a bulk-Si region, wherein the SOI region and the bulk-Si region have a same or differing crystallographic orientation; an isolation region separating the SOI region from the bulk-Si region; and at least one first device located in the SOI region and at least one second device located in the bulk-Si region. The SOI region has an silicon layer atop an insulating layer. The bulk-Si region further comprises a well region underlying the second device and a contact to the well region, wherein the contact stabilizes floating body effects. The well contact is also used to control the threshold voltages of the FETs in the bulk-Si region to optimized the power and performance of the SRAM cell built from the combination of the SOI and bulk-Si region FETs.
