摘要:
A low power transistor (70, 70′) formed in a face of a semiconductor layer (86) of a first conductivity type. The transistor includes a source and drain regions (76, 78) of a second conductivity type formed in the face of the semiconductor layer, and a gate (72) insulatively disposed adjacent the face of the semiconductor layer and between the source and drain regions. A layer of counter doping (80, 80′) of the second conductivity type is formed adjacent to the face of the semiconductor layer generally between the source and drain regions. A first and second pockets (82, 84, 82′, 84′) of the first conductivity type may also be formed generally adjacent to the source and drain regions and the counter doped layer (80, 80′).

A transistor (30) and method for forming a transistor using an edge blocking material (24) is disclosed herein. The edge blocking material (24) may be located adjacent a gate (22) or disposable gate or may be part of a disposable gate. During an angled pocket implant, the edge blocking material (24) blocks some dopant from entering the semiconductor body (10) and the dopant (18) placed under the edge blocking material is located at a given distance below the surface of the semiconductor body (10).
摘要:
Method of making transistors having ultrashallow source and drain junction with reduced gate overlap may comprise forming a first gate electrode (124) separated from a first active area (126) of a semiconductor layer (112) by a first gate insulator (130). A second gate electrode (140) may be formed substantially perpendicular to the first gate electrode (124) and separated from a second active area (142) of the semiconductor layer by a second gate insulator (146). A masking layer (160) may be formed over the semiconductor layer (112) and expose a source and a drain section (162 and 164) of the first active area (126) and a source and a drain section (166 and 168) of the second active area (142). Dopants may be implanted from a first direction substantially parallel to the first gate electrode (124) into the source and drain sections (166 and 168) of the first active area (126). The dopants are implanted in the first direction at an angle at which the masking layer (160) blocks entry of the dopants into the source and drain sections (166 and 168) of the second active area (142). Dopants may be implanted from a second direction substantially parallel to the second gate electrode (140) and perpendicular to the first direction into the source and drain sections (166 and 168) of the second active area (142). The dopants are implanted in the second direction at an angle at which the masking layer (160) blocks entry of the dopants into the source and drain sections (162 and 164) of the first active area (126).

A method for controlled oxide growth on transistor gates. A first film (40) is formed on a semiconductor substrate (10). The film is implanted with a first species and patterned to form a transistor gate (45) . The transistor gate (45) and the semiconductor substrate (10) is implanted with a second species and the transistor gate (45) oxidized to produce an oxide film (80) on the side surface of the transistor gate (45).
摘要:
A system for fabricating an integrated circuit is disclosed that includes providing a semiconductor substrate (10), and forming a gate oxide layer (12) on an active area on the substrate. A polysilicon gate (14) is formed, on top of the gate oxide, by etching. Etch damage (16) on the substrate surface is repaired by anneal in an inert gas environment—e.g., He, Ne, N2, Ar gas, or combinations thereof.
摘要:
A method of photolithographically forming an integrated circuit feature, such as a conductive structure, for example a gate electrode (15), or such as a patterned insulator feature, is disclosed. A critical dimension (CD) for a photolithography process defines a minimum line width of photoresist or other masking material that may be patterned by the process. A photomask (20, 30, 40, 50, 60) has a mask feature (25, 35, 45, 55, 65) that has varying width portions along its length. The wider portions have a width (L1) that is at or above the critical dimension of the process, while the narrower portions have a width (L2) that is below the critical dimension of the process. In the case of a patterned etch of a conductor, photoexposure and etching of conductive material using the photomask (20, 30, 40, 50, 60) defines a gate electrode (15) for a transistor (10) that has a higher drive current than a transistor having a uniform gate width at the critical dimension.
摘要:
A stack for a semiconductor device and a method for making the stack are disclosed. The stack comprises a plurality of sacrificial layers in which each sacrificial layer comprises a first lattice parameter; and at least one channel layer comprising a second lattice parameter that is different from the first lattice parameter and in which each channel layer is disposed between and in contact with two sacrificial layers. The stack is formed on an underlayer in which a sacrificial layer is in contact with the underlayer. The underlayer comprises a third lattice parameter that substantially matches the lattice parameter that the plurality of sacrificial layers and the at least one channel layer would have if the plurality of sacrificial layers and the at least one channel layer were was allow to relax coherently.
