    摘要: A method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor device structure. In such method a p-type field effect transistor (PFET) and an n-type field effect transistor (NFET), each of the NFET and the PFET having a conduction channel disposed in a single-crystal semiconductor region of a substrate. A stressed film having a compressive stress at a first magnitude can be formed to overlie the PFET and the NFET. Desirably, a mask is formed to cover the PFET while exposing the NFET, after which, desirably, a portion of the stressed film overlying the NFET is subjected to ion implantation, while the mask protects another portion of the stressed film overlying the PFET from the ion implantation. The substrate can then be annealed, whereby, desirably, the compressive stress of the implanted portion of the stressed film is much reduced from the first magnitude by the annealing. In such way, the implanted portion of the stressed film overlying the NFET desirably imparts one of a much reduced magnitude compressive stress, a zero stress and a tensile stress to the conduction channel of the NFET. Another portion of the stressed film can continue to impart the compressive stress at the first magnitude to the conduction channel of the PFET.

    摘要: A structure and method of fabrication of a semiconductor device having a stress relief layer under a stress layer in one region of a substrate. In a first example, a stress relief layer is formed over a first region of the substrate (e.g., PFET region) and not over a second region (e.g., NFET region). A stress layer is over the stress relief layer in the first region and over the devices and substrate/silicide in the second region. The NFET transistor performance is enhanced due to the overall tensile stress in the NFET channel while the degradation in the PFET transistor performance is reduced/eliminated due to the inclusion of the stress relief layer. In a second example embodiment, the stress relief layer is formed over the second region, but not the first region and the stress of the stress layer is reversed.

    摘要: Enhanced carrier mobility in transistors of differing (e.g. complementary) conductivity types is achieved on a common chip by provision of two or more respective stressed layers, such as etch stop layers, overlying the transistors with stress being wholly or partially relieved in portions of the respective layers, preferably by implantations with heavy ions such as germanium, arsenic, xenon, indium, antimony, silicon, nitrogen oxygen or carbon in accordance with a block-out mask. The distribution and small size of individual areas of such stressed structures also prevents warping or curling of even very thin substrates.
