摘要： An integrated semiconductor structure containing at least one device formed upon a first crystallographic surface that is optimal for that device, while another device is formed upon a second different crystallographic surface that is optimal for the other device is provided. The method of forming the integrated structure includes providing a bonded substrate including at least a first semiconductor layer of a first crystallographic orientation and a second semiconductor layer of a second different crystallographic orientation. A portion of the bonded substrate is protected to define a first device area, while another portion of the bonded substrate is unprotected. The unprotected portion of the bonded substrate is then etched to expose a surface of the second semiconductor layer and a semiconductor material is regrown on the exposed surface. Following planarization, a first semiconductor device is formed in the first device region and a second semiconductor device is formed on the regrown material.

摘要： While embedded silicon germanium alloy and silicon carbon alloy provide many useful applications, especially for enhancing the mobility of MOSFETs through stress engineering, formation of alloyed silicide on these surfaces degrades device performance. The present invention provides structures and methods for providing unalloyed silicide on such silicon alloy surfaces placed on semiconductor substrates. This enables the formation of low resistance contacts for both mobility enhanced PFETs with embedded SiGe and mobility enhanced NFETs with embedded Si:C on the same semiconductor substrate. Furthermore, this invention provides methods for thick epitaxial silicon alloy, especially thick epitaxial Si:C alloy, above the level of the gate dielectric to increase the stress on the channel on the transistor devices.
