    摘要: A strain-inducing semiconductor alloy may be formed on the basis of cavities that may extend deeply below the gate electrode structure, which may be accomplished by using a sequence of two etch processes. In a first etch process, the cavity may be formed on the basis of a well-defined lateral offset to ensure integrity of the gate electrode structure and, in a subsequent etch process, the cavity may be increased in a lateral direction while nevertheless reliably preserving a portion of the channel region. Consequently, the strain-inducing efficiency may be increased by appropriately positioning the strain-inducing material immediately below the channel region without compromising integrity of the gate electrode structure.

    摘要: Devices are formed with an oxide liner and nitride layer before forming eSiGe spacers. Embodiments include forming first and second gate stacks on a substrate, forming an oxide liner over the first and second gate stacks, forming a nitride layer over the oxide liner, forming a resist over the first gate stack, forming nitride spacers from the nitride layer over the second gate stack, forming eSiGe source/drain regions for the second gate stack, subsequently forming halo/extension regions for the first gate stack, and independently forming halo/extension regions for the second gate stack. Embodiments include forming the eSiGe regions by wet etching the substrate with TMAH using the nitride spacers as a soft mask, forming sigma shaped cavities, and epitaxially growing in situ boron doped eSiGe in the cavities.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device structure begins by forming a layer of oxide material overlying a first gate structure having a first silicon nitride cap and overlying a second gate structure having a second silicon nitride cap. The first gate structure corresponds to a p-type transistor to be fabricated, and the second gate structure corresponds to an n-type transistor to be fabricated. The method continues by performing a tilted ion implantation procedure to implant ions of an impurity species in a channel region of semiconductor material underlying the first gate structure, during which an ion implantation mask protects the second gate structure. Thereafter, the ion implantation mask and the layer of oxide material are removed, and regions of epitaxial semiconductor material are formed corresponding to source and drain regions for the first gate structure. Thereafter, the first silicon nitride cap and the second silicon nitride cap are removed.
