摘要:
A semiconductor structure includes an epitaxial insulator layer located on a substrate. A fin structure is located on the epitaxial insulator layer, where at least one epitaxial source-drain region having an embedded stressor is located on the epitaxial insulator layer and abuts at least one sidewall associated with the fin structure. The epitaxial source-drain region having the embedded stressor provides stress along the fin structure such that the provided stress is based on a lattice mismatch between the epitaxial source-drain region, and both the epitaxial insulator layer and the one side-wall associated with the fin structure.

A method for forming an electrical device that includes forming a high-k gate dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate that is patterned to separate a first portion of the high-k gate dielectric layer that is present on a first conductivity device region from a second portion of the high-k gate dielectric layer that is present on a second conductivity device region. A connecting gate conductor is formed on the first portion and the second portion of the high-k gate dielectric layer. The connecting gate conductor extends from the first conductivity device region over the isolation region to the second conductivity device region. One of the first conductivity device region and the second conductivity device region may then be exposed to an oxygen containing atmosphere. Exposure with the oxygen containing atmosphere modifies a threshold voltage of the semiconductor device that is exposed.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an electrically controlled optical fuse. The optical fuse is activated electronically instead of by the light source itself. An applied voltage causes the fuse temperature to rise, which induces a transformation of a phase changing material from transparent to opaque. A gettering layer absorbs excess atoms released during the transformation.

A method of forming a semiconductor device including providing a functional gate structure on a channel portion of a semiconductor substrate. A gate sidewall spacer is adjacent to the functional gate structure and an interlevel dielectric layer is present adjacent to the gate sidewall spacer. The upper surface of the gate conductor is recessed relative to the interlevel dielectric layer. A multi-layered cap is formed a recessed surface of the gate structure, wherein at least one layer of the multi-layered cap includes a high-k dielectric material and is present on a sidewall of the gate sidewall spacer at an upper surface of the functional gate structure. Via openings are etched through the interlevel dielectric layer selectively to at least the high-k dielectric material of the multi-layered cap, wherein at least the high-k dielectric material protects a sidewall of the gate conductor.

A method for isolating semiconductor devices is described wherein an epitaxial insulating layer is grown on a semiconductor substrate. The epitaxial insulating layer is etched to form a recessed region within the layer. An epitaxial semiconductor material is grown with the recessed region to form a semiconductor device region separated from other potential device regions by non-recessed portions of the epitaxial insulating layer.
