    摘要: A strained silicon semiconductor arrangement with a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure has a strained silicon (Si) layer formed on a silicon germanium (SiGe) layer. A trench extends through the Si layer into the SiGe layer, and sidewall spacers are employed that cover the entirety of the sidewalls within the trench in the SiGe layer. Following STI fill, polish and nitride stripping process steps, further processing can be performed without concern of the SiGe layer being exposed to a silicide formation process.

    摘要: Gate electrodes with selectively tuned channel thicknesses are formed by selective epitaxial growth. Embodiments include forming shallow trench isolation regions in an SOI substrate, selectively removing the nitride stop layer and pad oxide layer in an exposed particular active region, and implementing selective epitaxial growth to increase the thickness of the semiconductor layer in the particular active region. Subsequently, the remaining nitride stop and pad oxide layers in other active regions are removed, gate dielectric layers formed, as by thermal oxidation, and the transistors completed.

    摘要: Gate spacers are formed in FinFETS having a bottom portion of a first material extending to the height of the fins, and a top portion of a second material extending above the fins. An embodiment includes forming a fin structure on a substrate, the fin structure having a height and having a top surface and side surfaces, forming a gate substantially perpendicular to the fin structure over a portion of the top and side surfaces, for example over a center portion, forming a planarizing layer over the gate, the fin structure, and the substrate, removing the planarizing layer from the substrate, gate, and fin structure down to the height of the fin structure, and forming spacers on the fin structure and on the planarizing layer, adjacent the gate.

    摘要: A BARC comprising materials having a lower pinhole density than that of silicon oxynitride and materials having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is closer to the coefficient of thermal expansion of polysilicon than that of amorphous carbon is employed to reduce deformation of a pattern to be formed in a patternable layer. The patternable layer is formed over a substrate. A multi-layered anti-reflective coating is formed over the patternable layer. A photoresist pattern is formed on the coating. The coating may comprise an amorphous carbon layer formed over the patternable layer and a SiC layer having a lower pinhole density than the pinhole density of SiON formed over the amorphous carbon layer. The coating may also be formed over a polysilicon layer and comprise a thermal expansion buffer layer having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is closer to the coefficient of thermal expansion of polysilicon than that of amorphous carbon.
