摘要:
Pipe defects in n-type lightly doped drain (NLDD) regions and n-type source/drain (NDS) regions are associated with arsenic implants, while excess diffusion in NLDD and NSD regions is mainly due to phosphorus interstitial movement. Carbon implanatation is commonly used to reduce phosphorus diffusion in the NLDD, but contributes to gated diode leakage (GDL). In high threshold NMOS transistors GDL is commonly a dominant off-state leakage mechanism. This invention provides a method of forming an NMOS transistor in which no carbon is implanted into the NLDD, and the NSD is formed by a pre-amorphizing implant (PAI), a phosphorus implant and a carbon species implant. Use of carbon in the NDS allows a higher concentration of phosphorus, resulting in reduced series resistance and reduced pipe defects. An NMOS transistor with less than 1·1014 cm−2 arsenic in the NSD and a high threshold NMOS transistor formed with the inventive method are also disclosed
摘要:
There is presented a method of forming a semiconductor device. The method comprises forming gate structures including forming gate electrodes over a semiconductor substrate and forming spacers adjacent the gate electrodes. Source/drains are formed adjacent the gate structures, and a laminated stress layer is formed over the gate structure and the semiconductor substrate. The formation of the laminated stress layer includes cycling a deposition process to form a first stress layer over the gate structures and the semiconductor substrate and at least a second stress layer over the first stress layer. After the laminated layer is formed, it is subjected to an anneal process conducted at a temperature of about 900° C. or greater.

A process of fabricating an IC is disclosed in which a polysilicon resistor and a gate region of an MOS transistor are implanted concurrently. The concurrent implantation may be used to reduce steps in the fabrication sequence of the IC. The concurrent implantation may also be used to provide another species of transistor in the IC with enhanced performance. Narrow PMOS transistor gates may be implanted concurrently with p-type polysilicon resistors to increase on-state drive current. PMOS transistor gates over thick gate dielectrics may be implanted concurrently with p-type polysilicon resistors to reduce gate depletion. NMOS transistor gates may be implanted concurrently with n-type polysilicon resistors to reduce gate depletion, and may be implanted concurrently with p-type polysilicon resistors to provide high threshold NMOS transistors in the IC.
摘要:
Semiconductor doping techniques, along with related methods and structures, are disclosed that produce components having a more tightly controlled source and drain extension region dopant profiles without significantly inducing gate edge diode leakage. The technique follows the discovery that carbon, which may be used as a diffusion suppressant for dopants such as boron, may produce a gate edge diode leakage if present in significant quantities in the source and drain extension regions. As an alternative to placing carbon in the source and drain extension regions, carbon may be placed in the source and drain regions, and the thermal anneal used to activate the dopant may be relied upon to diffuse a small concentration of the carbon into the source and drain extension regions, thereby suppressing dopant diffusion in these regions without significantly inducing gate edge diode leakage. The increased concentration of carbon in the source and drain regions may permit heavier doping of the source/drain region, leading to improved gate capacitance.
