A wafer having an SOI configuration and active regions having different surface orientations for different channel type transistors. In one example, semiconductor structures having a first surface orientation are formed on a donor wafer. Semiconductor structures having a second surface orientation are formed on a second wafer. Receptor openings are formed on the second wafer. The semiconductor structures having the first surface orientation are located in the receptor openings and transferred to the second wafer. The resultant wafer has semiconductor regions having a first surface orientation for a first channel type of transistor and semiconductor regions having a second surface orientation for a second channel type transistor.

A semiconductor process and apparatus includes forming first and second metal gate electrodes (151, 161) over a hybrid substrate (17) by forming the first gate electrode (151) over a first high-k gate dielectric (121) and forming the second gate electrode (161) over at least a second high-k gate dielectric (122) different from the first gate dielectric (121). By forming the first gate electrode (151) over a first SOI substrate (90) formed by depositing (100) silicon and forming the second gate electrode (161) over an epitaxially grown (110) SiGe substrate (70), a high performance CMOS device is obtained which includes high-k metal PMOS gate electrodes (161) having improved hole mobility.
摘要:
A semiconductor fabrication process includes forming a transistor gate overlying an SOI wafer having a semiconductor top layer over a buried oxide layer (BOX) over a semiconductor substrate. Source/drain trenches, disposed on either side of the gate, are etched into the BOX layer. Source/drain structures are formed within the trenches. A depth of the source/drain structures is greater than the thickness of the top silicon layer and an upper surface of the source/drain structures coincides approximately with the transistor channel whereby vertical overlap between the source/drain structures and the gate is negligible. The trenches preferably extend through the BOX layer to expose a portion of the silicon substrate. The source/drain structures are preferably formed epitaxially and possibly in two stages including an oxygen rich stage and an oxygen free stage. A thermally anneal between the two epitaxial stages will form an isolation dielectric between the source/drain structure and the substrate.
摘要:
Two different transistors types are made on different crystal orientations in which both are formed on SOI. A substrate has an underlying semiconductor layer of one of the crystal orientations and an overlying layer of the other crystal orientation. The underlying layer has a portion exposed on which is epitaxially grown an oxygen-doped semiconductor layer that maintains the crystalline structure of the underlying semiconductor layer. A semiconductor layer is then epitaxially grown on the oxygen-doped semiconductor layer. An oxidation step at elevated temperatures causes the oxide-doped region to separate into oxide and semiconductor regions. The oxide region is then used as an insulation layer in an SOI structure and the overlying semiconductor layer that is left is of the same crystal orientation as the underlying semiconductor layer. Transistors of the different types are formed on the different resulting crystal orientations.

A method for forming a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate region having a first material and a second material overlying the first material, wherein the first material has a different lattice constant from a lattice constant of the second material. The method further includes etching a first opening on a first side of a gate and etching a second opening on a second side of the gate. The method further includes creating a first in-situ p-type doped epitaxial region in the first opening and the second opening, wherein the first in-situ doped epitaxial region is created using the second material. The method further includes creating a second in-situ n-type doped expitaxial region overlying the first in-situ p-type doped epitaxial region in the first opening and the second opening, wherein the second in-situ n-type doped epitaxial region is created using the second material.
摘要:
A semiconductor device is formed having two physically separate regions with differing properties such as different surface orientation, crystal rotation, strain or composition. In one form a first layer having a first property is formed on an insulating layer. The first layer is isolated into first and second physically separate areas. After this physical separation, only the first area is amorphized. A donor wafer is placed in contact with the first and second areas. The semiconductor device is annealed to modify the first of the first and second separate areas to have a different property from the second of the first and second separate areas. The donor wafer is removed and at least one semiconductor structure is formed in each of the first and second physically separate areas. In another form, the separate regions are a bulk substrate and an electrically isolated region within the bulk substrate.

摘要:
A first semiconductor structure has a silicon substrate, a first silicon germanium layer grown on the silicon, a second silicon germanium layer on the first silicon germanium layer, and a strained silicon layer on the second silicon germanium layer. A second semiconductor structure has a silicon substrate and an insulating top layer. The silicon layer of the first semiconductor structure is bonded to the insulator layer to form a third semiconductor structure. The second silicon germanium layer is cut to separate most of the first semiconductor structure from the third semiconductor structure. The silicon germanium layer is removed to expose the strained silicon layer where transistors are subsequently formed, which is then the only layer remaining from the first semiconductor structure. The transistors are oriented along the direction and at a 45 degree angle to the direction of the base silicon layer of the second silicon.

摘要:
A semiconductor device (10) is formed by positioning a gate (22) overlying a semiconductor layer (16) of preferably silicon. A semiconductor material (26) of, for example only, SiGe or Ge, is formed adjacent the gate over the semiconductor layer and over source/drain regions. A thermal process diffuses the stressor material into the semiconductor layer. Lateral diffusion occurs to cause the formation of a strained channel (17) in which a stressor material layer (30) is immediately adjacent the strained channel. Extension implants create source and drain implants from a first portion of the stressor material layer. A second portion of the stressor material layer remains in the channel between the strained channel and the source and drain implants. A heterojunction is therefore formed in the strained channel. In another form, oxidation of the stressor material occurs rather than extension implants to form the strained channel.
