摘要:
The present invention discloses a CMOS device of reducing charge sharing effect and a fabrication method thereof. The present invention has an additional isolation for trapping carriers disposed right below an isolation region. the material of the additional isolation region is porous silicon. Since porous silicon is a functional material of spongy structure by electrochemistry anodic oxidizing monocrystalline silicon wafer, there are a large number of microvoids and dangling bonds on the surface layer of the porous silicon. These defects may form defect states in a center of forbidden band of the porous silicon, the defect states may trap carriers so as to cause an increased resistance. And with an increase of density of corrosion current, porosity increases, and defects in the porous silicon increase. The present invention can reduce the charge sharing effect due to heavy ions by using a feature that the defect states in the porous silicon trap carriers, the formation of a shallow trench isolation (STI) region and a isolation region underneath only needs one time photolithography, and the process is simple, so that radioresistance performance of an integrated circuit may be greatly increased.

A CMOS device for reducing a radiation-induced charge collection and a method for fabricating the same. In the CMOS device, a heavily doped charge collection-suppressed region is disposed directly under the source region and the drain region. The region has a doping type opposite that of the source region and the drain region, and has a doping concentration not less than that of the source region and the drain region. The charge collection-suppressed region has a lateral part slightly less than or equal to that of the source region and the drain region, and has a lateral range toward to the channel not exceed the edges of the source region and the drain region. The CMOS device may greatly reduce a range of the funnel that appears under the action of a single particle, so that charges collected instantaneously under a force of an electric field may be reduced.

Disclosed herein is a method for predicting a reliable lifetime of a SOI MOSFET device. The method comprises: measuring a relationship of a gate resistance of the SOI MOSFET device varying as a function of a temperature at different wafer temperatures; performing a lifetime accelerating test on the SOI MOSFET device at different wafer temperatures, so as to obtain a degenerating relationship of a parameter representing the lifetime of the device as a function of stress time, and obtain a lifetime in the presence of self-heating when the parameter degenerates to 10%; performing a self-heating correction on the measured lifetime of the device by using the measured self-heating temperature and an Arrhenius model, so as to obtain a lifetime without self-heating influence; performing a self-heating correction on a variation of the drain current caused by self-heating; performing a self-heating correction on an impact ionization rate caused by hot carriers; and predicting the lifetime of the SOI MOSFET device under a bias. The embodiment of the invention prevents the self-heating effect from affecting the SOI MOSFET device in a practical logic circuit or in an AC analog circuit, which leads to a more precise prediction result.

The present invention discloses a method for obtaining a distribution of charges along a channel of a MOS transistor, which is used for obtaining distributions of interface states charges and charges of a gate dielectric layer in the MOS transistor. The method includes: adding a MOS transistor into a test circuit; measuring two charge pumping current curves when a source terminal is open-circuited or when a drain terminal is open-circuited before and after a stress is applied by using a charge pumping current test method, where one of the two charge pumping current curves is an original curve and the other one is an post-stress curve; finding a point B corresponding to a point A on the original curve on the post-stress curve, and estimating amount of locally-generated interface states charges and charges of the gate dielectric layer by a variation of the charge pumping current and a variation in a voltage at a local point. As compared with a conventional method for obtaining a distribution, the method of the present invention can obtain a distribution of charges along a direction form the drain or source terminal to the channel more easily and rapidly, with an aid of a computer. A mass of complicated and repeated tests are reduced. Also, the method can provide an effective base for improving device reliability.

The present invention discloses a strained channel field effect transistor and a method for fabricating the same. The field effect transistor comprises a substrate, a source/drain, a gate dielectric layer, and a gate, characterized in that, an “L” shaped composite isolation layer, which envelops a part of a side face of the source/drain adjacent to a channel and the bottom of the source/drain, is arranged between the source/drain and the substrate; the composite isolation layer is divided into two layers, that is, an “L” shaped insulation thin layer contacting directly with the substrate and an “L” shaped high stress layer contacting directly with the source and the drain. The field effect transistor of such a structure improves the mobility of charge carriers by introducing stress into the channel by means of the high stress layer, while fundamentally improving the device structure of the field effect transistor and improving the short channel effect suppressing ability of the device.

An embodiment of the invention provides a germanium-based NMOS device and a method for fabricating the same, which relates to fabrication process technology of an ultra-large-scale-integrated (ULSI) circuit. The germanium-based NMOS device has two dielectric layer interposed between a metal source/drain and a substrate. The bottom dielectric layer includes a dielectric material having a high pinning coefficient S such as hafnium oxide, silicon nitride, hafnium silicon oxide or the like, and the top dielectric layer includes a dielectric material having a low conduction band offset ΔEC such as titanium oxide, gallium oxide, strontium titanium oxide or the like. According to the method, Fermi level pinning effect can be alleviated, electron barrier height can be lowered, and thus performance of the germanium-based Schottky NMOS device can be improved. Compared with a conventional single dielectric layer such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3), Schottky barrier height can be lowered while low source/drain resistances can be maintained, and thus performance of the device can be significantly improved.
