摘要： A thermally stable nickel germanosilicide on SiGe integrated circuit device, and a method of making the same, is disclosed. During fabrication of the device iridium or cobalt is added at the Ni/SiGe interface to decrease the sheet resistance of the device. The device comprising nickel silicide with iridium on SiGe shows thermal stability at temperatures up to 800° C. The device comprising nickel silicide with cobalt on SiGe shows a decrease in the sheet resistance with temperature, i.e., the resistance remains low when annealing temperatures extend up to and beyond 800° C.

摘要： Transistors fabricated on SSOI (Strained Silicon On Insulator) substrate, which comprises a strained silicon layer disposed directly on an insulator layer, have enhanced device performance due to the strain-induced band modification of the strained silicon device channel and the limited silicon volume because of the insulator layer. The present invention discloses a SSOI substrate fabrication process comprising various novel approaches. One is the use of a thin relaxed SiGe layer as the strain-induced seed layer to facilitate integration and reduce processing cost. Another is the formation of split implant microcracks deep in the silicon substrate to reduce the number of threading dislocations reaching the strained silicon layer. And lastly is the two step annealing/thinning process for the strained silicon/SiGe multilayer film transfer without blister or flaking formation.
