Abstract: FDSOI device fabrication method is disclosed. The method comprises: disposing a buried oxide layer on the silicon substrate; disposing a SiGe channel on the buried oxide layer, disposing a nitrogen passivation layer on the SiGe channel layer; disposing a metal gate on the nitrogen passivation layer, and attaching sidewalls to sides of the metal gate; and disposing source and drain regions on the nitrogen passivation layer at both sides of the metal gate, wherein the source and drain regions are built in a raised SiGe layer. The stack structure of the SiGe layer and the nitrogen passivation layer forms the gate channel. This stack structure avoids the low stress of the silicon channel in the conventional device. In addition, it prevents the Ge diffusion from the SiGe channel to the gate dielectric in the conventional device. Thereby the invention improves reliability and performance of the device.

Abstract: The present application discloses a semi-floating gate device. A floating gate structure covers a selected area of a first well region and is used to form a conductive channel. The floating gate structure further covers a surface of a lightly doped drain region, and a floating gate material layer and the lightly doped drain region contact at a dielectric layer window to form a PN structure. A source region is self-aligned with a first side surface of the floating gate structure. A first control gate is superposed on a top of the floating gate structure. A second control gate is disposed on a surface of the lightly doped drain region between the drain region and a second side surface of the floating gate structure. The first control gate and the second control gate are isolated by an inter-gate dielectric layer.

Abstract: The present application provides a method for manufacturing FDSOI devices. The method includes steps of: providing a semiconductor structure which comprises a silicon substrate, a buried oxide layer on the silicon substrate, a silicon-on-insulator layer on the buried oxide layer; and a hard mask layer on the silicon-on-insulator layer; performing spin coating of a photoresist on the hard mask layer to form a bulk silicon region; performing plasma anisotropic etching on the bulk silicon region to open a part of the buried oxide layer, and then performing isotropic etching, so that the silicon-on-insulator layer shrinks in the horizontal direction; performing plasma anisotropic etching to etch through the buried oxide layer to form a bulk silicon region trench; performing silicon epitaxial growth in the bulk silicon region trench. The silicon-on-insulator layer is still shrinks after the bulk silicon region trench is formed, as the result, there is no bump on the surface of the silicon-on-insulator layer, thus the process window becomes controllable.
