摘要: Bulk semiconductor substrates configured to exhibit semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) behavior, and corresponding methods of fabrication, are disclosed herein. An exemplary bulk substrate configured to exhibit SOI behavior includes a first isolation trench that defines a channel region of the bulk substrate and a second isolation trench that defines an active region that includes the channel region. The first isolation trench includes a first isolation trench portion and a second isolation trench portion disposed over the first isolation trench portion. A first isolation material fills the first isolation trench portion, and an epitaxial material fills the second isolation trench portion. The epitaxial material is disposed on the first isolation material. A second isolation material fills the second isolation trench. A portion of the bulk substrate underlying the first isolation trench and the channel region is configured to have a higher resistance than the bulk substrate.

摘要: The present disclosure describes a fabrication method that can form air-gaps in shallow trench isolation structures (STI) structures. For example, the method includes patterning a semiconductor layer over a substrate to form semiconductor islands and oxidizing the sidewall surfaces of the semiconductor islands to form first liners on the sidewall surfaces. Further, the method includes depositing a second liner over the first liners and the substrate and depositing a first dielectric layer between the semiconductor islands. The second liner between the first dielectric layer and the first liners is removed to form openings between the first dielectric layer and the first liners. A second dielectric layer is deposited over the first dielectric layer to enclose the openings and form air-gaps between the first dielectric layer and the first liners so that the gaps are positioned along the first liners.

摘要: The present disclosure describes a method that mitigates the formation of facets in source/drain silicon germanium (SiGe) epitaxial layers. The method includes forming an isolation region around a semiconductor layer and a gate structure partially over the semiconductor layer and the isolation region. Disposing first photoresist structures over the gate structure, a portion of the isolation region, and a portion of the semiconductor layer and doping, with germanium (Ge), exposed portions of the semiconductor layer and exposed portions of the isolation region to form Ge-doped regions that extend from the semiconductor layer to the isolation region. The method further includes disposing second photoresist structures over the isolation region and etching exposed Ge-doped regions in the semiconductor layer to form openings, where the openings include at least one common sidewall with the Ge-doped regions in the isolation region. Finally the method includes growing a SiGe epitaxial stack in the openings.
