    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided that includes forming an oxide containing isolation region in a semiconductor substrate to define an active semiconductor region. A blanket gate stack including a high-k gate dielectric layer may then be formed on the active semiconductor region. At least a portion of the blanket gate stack extends from the active semiconductor device region to the isolation region. The blanket gate stack may then be etched to provide an opening over the isolation region. The surface of the isolation region that is exposed by the opening may then be isotropically etched to form an undercut region in the isolation region that extend under the high-k gate dielectric layer. An encapsulating dielectric material may then be formed in the opening filling the undercut region. The blanket gate stack may then be patterned to form a gate structure.

    摘要: A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium is provided for use in the design, manufacturing, and/or testing of Ics that include at least one SRAM cell. In particular, the present invention provides a design structure of an IC embodied in a machine readable medium, the IC including at least one SRAM cell with a gamma ratio of about 1 or greater. In the present invention, the gamma ratio is increased with degraded pFET device performance. Moreover, in the inventive IC, there is no stress liner boundary present in the SRAM region and ion variation for all devices is reduced as compared to that of a conventional SRAM structure. The present invention provides a design structure of an IC embodied in a machine readable medium, the IC comprising at least one static random access memory cell including at least one nFET and at least one pFET; and a continuous relaxed stressed liner located above and adjoining the at least one nFET and the at least one pFET.

    摘要: A method of producing a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) creates a transistor by patterning a gate structure over a substrate, forming spacers on sides of the gate structure, and forming conductor regions within the substrate on alternate sides of the gate stack. The gate structure and the conductor regions make up the transistor. In order to reduce high power plasma induced damage, the method initially applies a first plasma having a first power level to the transistor to form a first stress layer over the transistor. After the first lower-power plasma is applied, the method then applies a second plasma having a second power level to the transistor to from a second stress layer over the first stress layer. The second power level is higher (e.g., at least 5 times higher) than the first power level.

    摘要: A semiconductor process and apparatus includes forming channel orientation CMOS transistors (24, 34) with enhanced hole mobility in the NMOS channel region and reduced channel defectivity in the PMOS region by depositing a first tensile etch stop layer (51) over the PMOS and NMOS gate structures, etching the tensile etch stop layer (51) to form tensile sidewall spacers (62) on the exposed gate sidewalls, and then depositing a second hydrogen rich compressive or neutral etch stop layer (72) over the NMOS and PMOS gate structures (26, 36) and the tensile sidewall spacers (62). In other embodiments, a first hydrogen-rich etch stop layer (81) is deposited and etched to form sidewall spacers (92) on the exposed gate sidewalls, and then a second tensile etch stop layer (94) is deposited over the NMOS and PMOS gate structures (26, 36) and the sidewall spacers (92).
