    摘要: A strain-inducing semiconductor alloy may be formed on the basis of cavities which may have a non-rectangular shape, which may be maintained even during corresponding high temperature treatments by providing an appropriate protection layer, such as a silicon dioxide material. Consequently, a lateral offset of the strain-inducing semiconductor material may be reduced, while nevertheless providing a sufficient thickness of corresponding offset spacers during the cavity etch process, thereby preserving gate electrode integrity. For instance, P-channel transistors may have a silicon/germanium alloy with a hexagonal shape, thereby significantly enhancing the overall strain transfer efficiency.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method of forming a semiconductor device. In one example, the method comprises performing at least one etching process to reduce a thickness of a P-active region of a semiconducting substrate to thereby define a recessed P-active region, performing a process in a process chamber to selectively form an as-deposited layer of a semiconductor material on the recessed P-active region, wherein the step of performing the at least one etching process is performed outside of the process chamber, and performing an etching process in the process chamber to reduce a thickness of the as-deposited layer of semiconductor material.
