    摘要: Memory cells in integrated circuit devices may be formed on the basis of functional molecules which may be positioned within via openings on the basis of appropriate patterning techniques, which may also be used for forming semiconductor-based integrated circuits. Consequently, memory cells may be formed on a “molecular” level without requiring extremely sophisticated patterning regimes, such as electron beam lithography and the like.

    摘要: When forming sophisticated semiconductor devices including complementary transistors having a reduced gate length, the individual transistor characteristics may be adjusted on the basis of individually provided semiconductor alloys, such as a silicon/germanium alloy for P-channel transistors and a silicon/phosphorous semiconductor alloy for N-channel transistors. To this end, a superior hard mask patterning regime may be applied in order to provide compatibility with sophisticated replacement gate approaches, while avoiding undue process non-uniformities, in particular with respect to the removal of a dielectric cap layer.

    摘要: When forming sophisticated transistors on the basis of a high-k metal gate electrode structure and a strain-inducing semiconductor alloy, a superior wet cleaning process strategy is applied after forming cavities in order to reduce undue modification of sensitive gate materials, such as high-k dielectric materials, metal-containing electrode materials and the like, and modification of a threshold voltage adjusting semiconductor alloy. Thus, the pronounced dependence of the threshold voltage of transistors of different width may be significantly reduced compared to conventional strategies.

    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.
