    摘要: A method of oxidizing a substrate having area of about 30,000 mm2 or more. The surface is preferably comprised of silicon-containing materials, such as silicon, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and metal suicides. A mixture of oxygen-bearing gas and diluent gas normally non-reactive to oxygen, such as Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and/or Rn are ionized to create a plasma having an electron density of at least about 1e12 cm−3 and containing ambient electrons having an average temperature greater than about 1 eV. The substrate surface is oxidized with energetic particles, comprising primarily atomic oxygen, created in the plasma to form an oxide film of substantially uniform thickness. The oxidation of the substrate takes place at a temperature below about 700° C., e.g., between about room temperature, 20° C., and about 500° C.

    摘要: A CMOS structure in which the gate-to-drain/source capacitance is reduced as well as various methods of fabricating such a structure are provided. In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that the gate-to-drain/source capacitance can be significantly reduced by forming a CMOS structure in which a low-k dielectric material is self-aligned with the gate conductor. A reduction in capacitance between the gate conductor and the contact via ranging from about 30% to greater than 40% has been seen with the inventive structures. Moreover, the total outer-fringe capacitance (gate to outer diffusion+gate to contact via) is reduced between 10-18%. The inventive CMOS structure includes at least one gate region including a gate conductor located a top a surface of a semiconductor substrate; and a low-k dielectric material that is self-aligned to the gate conductor.

    摘要: Compressive or tensile materials are selectively introduced beneath and in alignment with spacer areas and adjacent to channel areas of a semiconductor substrate to enhance or degrade electron and hole mobility in CMOS circuits. A process entails steps of creating dummy spacers, forming a dielectric mandrel (i.e., mask), removing the dummy spacers, etching recesses into the underlying semiconductor substrate, introducing a compressive or tensile material into a portion of each recess, and filling the remainder of each recess with substrate material.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for forming one or more strained semiconductor-on-insulator structures, by first forming a precursor structure that contains an upper layer of unstrained semiconductor material and a lower layer of strained insulating material supported by a semiconductor substrate, and then patterning the upper layer of unstrained semiconductor material and the lower layer of strained insulating material to form one or more islands that each contain an unstrained semiconductor material layer over a strained insulating material layer. Relaxation of the strained insulating material layers in such islands applies strain to the unstrained semiconductor material layers, thus forming one or more strained semiconductor-on-insulator structures. The method of the present invention uses a strained insulating material layer to apply strain to an unstrained semiconductor material layer, and can therefore completely avoid usage of any additional strain-inducing layer in forming strained semiconductor material.
