    摘要: A method of fabricating a CMOS device wherein mobility enhancement of both the NMOS and PMOS elements is realized via strain induced band structure modification, has been developed. The NMOS element is formed featuring a silicon channel region under biaxial strain while the PMOS element is simultaneously formed featuring a SiGe channel region under biaxial compressive strain. A novel process sequence allowing formation of a thicker silicon layer overlying a SiGe layer, allows the NMOS channel region to exist in the silicon layer which is under biaxial tensile stain enhancing electron mobility. The same novel process sequence results in the presence of a thinner silicon layer, overlying the same SiGe layer in the PMOS region, allowing the PMOS channel region to exist in the biaxial compressively strained SiGe layer, resulting in hole mobility enhancement.

    摘要: A method of forming a strained silicon layer on a relaxed, low defect density semiconductor alloy layer such as SiGe, has been developed. In a first embodiment of this invention the relaxed, low density SiGe layer is epitaxially grown on an silicon layer which in turn is located on an underlying SiGe layer. During the epitaxial growth of the overlying SiGe layer defects are formed in the underlying silicon layer resulting in the desired, relaxation, and decreased defect density for the SiGe layer. A second embodiment features an anneal procedure performed during growth of the relaxed SiGe layer, resulting in additional relaxation and decreased defect density, while a third embodiment features an anneal procedure performed to the underlying silicon layer prior to epitaxial growth of the relaxed SiGe layer, again allowing optimized relaxation and defect density to be realized for the SiGe layer. The ability to obtain a strained silicon layer on a relaxed, low defect density SiGe layer, allows devices with enhanced carrier mobility to be formed in the surface of the strained silicon layer, with decreased risk of leakage due the presence of the underlying, relaxed, low defect density SiGe layer.
