    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 atop a surface of a semiconductor substrate; and a low-k dielectric material that is self-aligned to the gate conductor.

    摘要: A MOSFET fabrication methodology and device structure, exhibiting improved gate activation characteristics. The gate doping that may be introduced while the source drain regions are protected by a damascene mandrel to allow for a very high doping in the gate conductors, without excessively forming deep source/drain diffusions. The high gate conductor doping minimizes the effects of electrical depletion of carriers in the gate conductor. The MOSFET fabrication methodology and device structure further results in a device having a lower gate conductor width less than the minimum lithographic minimum image, and a wider upper gate conductor portion width which may be greater than the minimum lithographic image. Since the effective channel length of the MOSFET is defined by the length of the lower gate portion, and the line resistance is determined by the width of the upper gate portion, both short channel performance and low gate resistance are satisfied simultaneously.

    摘要: Described is a method for making thin channel silicon-on-insulator structures. The inventive method comprises forming a set of thin spacer abutting a gate region in a first device and a second device region; forming a raised source/drain region on either side of the gate region in the first device region and the second device region, implanting dopants of a first conductivity type into the raised source drain region in the first device region to form a first dopant impurity region, where the second device region is protected by a second device region block mask; implanting dopants of a second conductivity type into the raised source/drain region in the second device region to form a second dopant impurity region, where the first device region is protected by a first device region block mask; and activating the first dopant impurity region and the second dopant impurity region to provide a thin channel MOSFET.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor transistor device comprises the steps as follows. Provide a semiconductor substrate with a gate dielectric layer thereover and a lower gate electrode structure formed over the gate dielectric layer with the lower gate electrode structure having a lower gate top. Form a planarizing layer over the gate dielectric layer leaving the gate top of the lower gate electrode structure exposed. Form an upper gate structure over the lower gate electrode structure to form a T-shaped gate electrode with an exposed lower surface of the upper gate surface and exposed vertical sidewalls of the gate electrode. Remove the planarizing layer. Form source/drain extensions in the substrate protected from the short channel effect. Form sidewall spacers adjacent to the exposed lower surface of the upper gate and the exposed vertical sidewalls of the T-shaped gate electrode. Form source/drain regions in the substrate. Form silicide layers on top of the T-shaped gate electrode and above the source/drain regions.
