摘要:
A method for fabricating a strained-silicon semiconductor device to ameliorate undesirable variation in selectively grown epitaxial film thickness. The layout or component configuration for the proposed semiconductor device is evaluated to determine areas of relatively light or dense population in order to determine whether local-loading-effect defects are likely to occur. If a possibility of such defects occurring exists, a dummy pattern of epitaxial structures may be indicated. If so, the dummy pattern appropriate to the proposed layout is created, incorporated into the mask design, and then implemented on the substrate along with the originally-proposed component configuration.

A method of forming an epitaxial layer of uniform thickness is provided to improve surface flatness. A substrate is first provided and a Si base layer is then formed on the substrate by epitaxy. A Si—Ge layer containing 5 to 10% germanium is formed on the Si base layer by epitaxy to normalize the overall thickness of the Si base layer and the Si—Ge layer containing 5 to 10% germanium.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate comprising silicon, cleaning the substrate, performing a first low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process using a first source gas to selectively deposit a seeding layer of silicon (Si) over the substrate, performing a second LPCVD process using a second source gas to selectively deposit a first layer of silicon germanium (SiGe) over the layer of Si, the second source gas including hydrochloride at a first flow rate, and performing a third LPCVD process using a third source gas including hydrochloride at a second flow rate. The first flow rate is substantially lower than the second flow rate.

A method of forming MOS devices is provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate dielectric over the semiconductor substrate, forming a gate electrode over the gate dielectric, forming a source/drain region in the semiconductor substrate, forming an additional layer, preferably by epitaxial growth, on the source/drain region, and siliciding at least a top portion of the additional layer. The additional layer compensates for at least a portion of the semiconductor material lost during manufacturing processes and increases the distance between the source/drain silicide and the substrate. As a result, the leakage current is reduced. A transistor formed using the preferred embodiment preferably includes a silicide over the gate electrode wherein the silicide extends beyond a sidewall boundary of the gate electrode.

MOSFETs having localized stressors are provided. The MOSFET has a stress-inducing layer formed in the source/drain regions, wherein the stress-inducing layer comprises a first semiconductor material and a second semiconductor material. A treatment is performed on the stress-inducing layer such that a reaction is caused with the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material is forced lower into the stress-inducing layer. The stress-inducing layer may be either a recessed region or non-recessed region. A first method involves forming a stress-inducing layer, such as SiGe, in the source/drain regions and performing a nitridation or oxidation process. A nitride or oxide film is formed in the top portion of the stress-inducing layer, forcing the Ge lower into the stress-inducing layer. Another method embodiment involves forming a reaction layer over the stress-inducing layer and performing a treatment process to cause the reaction layer to react with the stress-inducing layer.

The chains are located by the clamps such that the chains can be installed or replaced with ease and speed.
摘要:
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a channel layer over the substrate. A capping layer including silicon and having a first thickness is formed over the channel layer. The capping layer is partially oxidized to form an oxidized portion of the capping layer. The oxidized portion of the capping layer is removed to form a thinned capping layer having a second thickness less than the first thickness.
