    摘要: An epitaxial semiconductor layer may be formed in a first area reserved for p-type field effect transistors. An ion implantation mask layer is formed and patterned to provide an opening in the first area, while blocking at least a second area reserved for n-type field effect transistors. Fluorine is implanted into the opening to form an epitaxial fluorine-doped semiconductor layer and an underlying fluorine-doped semiconductor layer in the first area. A composite gate stack including a high-k gate dielectric layer and an adjustment oxide layer is formed in the first and second area. P-type and n-type field effect transistors (FET's) are formed in the first and second areas, respectively. The epitaxial fluorine-doped semiconductor layer and the underlying fluorine-doped semiconductor layer compensate for the reduction of the decrease in the threshold voltage in the p-FET by the adjustment oxide portion directly above.

    摘要: An integrated circuit structure comprises at least one pair of complementary transistors on a substrate. The pair of complementary transistors includes a first transistor and a second transistor. In addition, only one stress-producing layer is on the first transistor and the second transistor and applies tensile strain force on the first transistor and the second transistor. The first transistor has a first channel region, a gate insulator on the first channel region, and a deuterium region between the first channel region and the gate insulator. The second transistor has a germanium doped channel region, as well as the same gate insulator on the germanium doped channel region, and the same deuterium region between the germanium doped channel region and the gate insulator.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) is provided that includes at least one static random access memory (SRAM) cell wherein performance of the SRAM cell is enhanced, yet with good stability and writability. In particular, the present invention provides an IC including at least one SRAM cell wherein the gamma ratio is about 1 or greater. The gamma ratio is increased with degraded pFET device performance. Morever, in the inventive IC there is no stress liner boundary present in the SRAM region and ion variation for all devices is reduced as compared to that of a conventional SRAM structure. The present invention provides an integrated circuit (IC) that comprises at least one SRAM cell including at least one nFET and at least one pFET; and a continuous relaxed stressed liner located above and adjoining the nFET and the pFET.
