    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for effecting uniform silicon body height for silicon-on-insulator transistor fabrication. For one embodiment, a sacrificial oxide layer is disposed upon a semiconductor substrate. The oxide layer is etched to form a trench. The trench is then filled with a semiconductor material. The semiconductor material is then planarized with the remainder of the oxide layer and the remainder of the oxide layer is then removed. The semiconductor fins thus exposed are of uniform height to within a specified tolerance.

    摘要: Methods for inducing compressive strain in channel region of a non-planar transistor and devices and systems formed by such methods. In one embodiment, a method can include forming trenches in a semiconductor body adjacent to gate structure spacers. The semiconductor body can be situated on a substrate and in a different plane relative to the substrate. The gate structure can be situated on the semiconductor body and the silicon fin and perpendicular to the semiconductor body. After formation of the semiconductor body and the gate structure on the substrate, a dielectric material can be conformally deposited on the substrate and etched to form spacers on the semiconductor body and the gate structure. The substrate can be patterned and etched to form trenches in the semiconductor body adjacent to the spacers on the gate structure. A strain material can be introduced into the trenches.

    摘要: A non-planar tri-gate p-MOS transistor structure with a strained channel region and a non-planar tri-gate integrated strained complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) structure are described. A relaxed Si1-x Gex layer is formed on the silicon-on-isolator (SOI) substrate. The relaxed Si1-x Gex layer is patterned and subsequently etched to form a fin on the oxide. The compressively stressed Si1-y Gey layer, having the Ge content y higher than the Ge content x in the relaxed Si1-xGex layer, is epitaxially grown on the fin. The Si1-y Gey layer covers the top and two sidewalls of the fin. The compressive stress in the Si1-y Gey layer substantially increases the hole mobility in a channel of the non-planar tri-gate p-MOS transistor structure.
