摘要:
In sophisticated semiconductor devices, a shallow drain and source concentration profile may be obtained for active regions having a pronounced surface topography by performing tilted implantation steps upon incorporating the drain and source dopant species. In this manner, a metal silicide may be reliably embedded in the drain and source regions.

An integrated circuit includes a first field effect transistor of a first carrier type and a second field effect transistor of a second, different carrier type. In a conductive state, a first channel of the first field effect transistor is oriented to one of a first set of equivalent crystal planes of a semiconductor substrate and a second channel of the second field effect transistor is oriented to at least one of a second, different set of equivalent crystal planes. The first set of equivalent crystal planes is parallel to a main surface of the semiconductor substrate and the second set of equivalent crystal planes is perpendicular to the main surface.

Corner conduction in a conduction channel of a field effect transistor is controlled by the geometrical configuration of the gate oxide and gate electrode at the sides of the conduction channel. Rounding the corners of the conduction channel or forming depressions at edges of trench structures such as deep or shallow trench isolation structures and/or trench capacitors develop recesses in a surface of a substrate at an interface of active areas and trench structures in which a portion of the gate oxide and gate electrode are formed so that the gate oxide and gate electrode effectively wrap around a portion of the conduction channel of the transistor. Particularly when such transistors are formed in accordance with sub-micron design rules, the geometry of the gate electrode allows the electric field in the conduction channel to be modified without angled implantation to regulate the effects of corner conduction in the conduction channel. Thus the conduction characteristic near cut-off can be tailored to specific applications and conduction/cut-off threshold voltage can be reduced at will utilizing a simple, efficient and high-yield manufacturing process.

Disclosed are methods of forming bulk FinFET semiconductor devices to reduce punch through leakage currents. One example includes forming a plurality of trenches in a semiconducting substrate to define a plurality of spaced-apart fins, forming a doped layer of insulating material in the trenches, wherein an exposed portion of each of the fins extends above an upper surface of the doped layer of insulating material while a covered portion of each of the fins is positioned below the upper surface of the doped layer of insulating material, and performing a process operation to heat at least the doped layer of insulating material to cause a dopant material in the doped layer to migrate from the doped layer of insulating material into the covered portions of the fins and thereby define a doped region in the covered portions of the fins that is positioned under the exposed portions of the fins.
