    摘要: A first semiconductor structure has a silicon substrate, a first silicon germanium layer grown on the silicon, a second silicon germanium layer on the first silicon germanium layer, and a strained silicon layer on the second silicon germanium layer. A second semiconductor structure has a silicon substrate and an insulating top layer. The silicon layer of the first semiconductor structure is bonded to the insulator layer to form a third semiconductor structure. The second silicon germanium layer is cut to separate most of the first semiconductor structure from the third semiconductor structure. The silicon germanium layer is removed to expose the strained silicon layer where transistors are subsequently formed, which is then the only layer remaining from the first semiconductor structure. The transistors are oriented along the direction and at a 45 degree angle to the direction of the base silicon layer of the second silicon.

    摘要: A vacancy injecting process for injecting vacancies in template layer material of an SOI substrate. The template layer material has a crystalline structure that includes, in some embodiments, both germanium and silicon atoms. A strained silicon layer is then epitaxially grown on the template layer material with the beneficial effects that straining has on electron and hole mobility. The vacancy injecting process is performed to inject vacancies and germanium atoms into the crystalline structure wherein germanium atoms recombine with the vacancies. One embodiment, a nitridation process is performed to grow a nitride layer on the template layer material and consume silicon in a way that injects vacancies in the crystalline structure while also allowing germanium atoms to recombine with the vacancies. Other examples of a vacancy injecting processes include silicidation processes, oxynitridation processes, oxidation processes with a chloride bearing gas, or inert gas post bake processes subsequent to an oxidation process.

    摘要: A process for forming a semiconductor device. The process includes forming a template layer for forming a layer of strained silicon. In one example a layer of graded silicon germanium is formed where the germanium is at a higher concentration at the lower portion and at a lower concentration at a top portion. When subject to a condensation process, the germanium of the top portion of the layer diffuses to a remaining portion of the silicon germanium layer. Because the silicon germanium layer has a higher concentration of germanium at lower portions, germanium pile up after condensation may be reduced at the upper portion of the remaining portion of the silicon germanium layer.

    摘要: Two different transistors types are made on different crystal orientations in which both are formed on SOI. A substrate has an underlying semiconductor layer of one of the crystal orientations and an overlying layer of the other crystal orientation. The underlying layer has a portion exposed on which is epitaxially grown an oxygen-doped semiconductor layer that maintains the crystalline structure of the underlying semiconductor layer. A semiconductor layer is then epitaxially grown on the oxygen-doped semiconductor layer. An oxidation step at elevated temperatures causes the oxide-doped region to separate into oxide and semiconductor regions. The oxide region is then used as an insulation layer in an SOI structure and the overlying semiconductor layer that is left is of the same crystal orientation as the underlying semiconductor layer. Transistors of the different types are formed on the different resulting crystal orientations.

    摘要: A semiconductor device (10) is formed by positioning a gate (22) overlying a semiconductor layer (16) of preferably silicon. A semiconductor material (26) of, for example only, SiGe or Ge, is formed adjacent the gate over the semiconductor layer and over source/drain regions. A thermal process diffuses the stressor material into the semiconductor layer. Lateral diffusion occurs to cause the formation of a strained channel (17) in which a stressor material layer (30) is immediately adjacent the strained channel. Extension implants create source and drain implants from a first portion of the stressor material layer. A second portion of the stressor material layer remains in the channel between the strained channel and the source and drain implants. A heterojunction is therefore formed in the strained channel. In another form, oxidation of the stressor material occurs rather than extension implants to form the strained channel.
