摘要： A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a substantially L-shaped silicide element forming a contact is disclosed. The substantially L-shaped silicide element, inter alia, reduces contact resistance and may allow increased density of CMOS circuits. In one embodiment, the substantially L-shaped silicide element includes a base member and an extended member, wherein the base member extends at least partially into a shallow trench isolation (STI) region such that a substantially horizontal surface of the base member directly contacts a substantially horizontal surface of the STI region; and a contact contacting the substantially L-shaped silicide element. The contact may include a notch region for mating with the base member and a portion of the extended member, which increases the silicide-to-contact area and reduces contact resistance. Substantially L-shaped silicide element may be formed about a source/drain region, which increases the silicon-to-silicide area, and reduces crowding and contact resistance.

摘要： An example embodiments are structures and methods for forming an FET with embedded stressor S/D regions (e.g., SiGe), a doped layer below the embedded S/D region adjacent to the isolation regions, and a stressor liner over reduced spacers of the FET gate. An example method comprising the following. We provide a gate structure over a first region in a substrate. The gate structure is comprised of gate dielectric, a gate, and sidewall spacers. We provide isolation regions in the first region spaced from the gate structure; and a channel region in the substrate under the gate structure. We form S/D recesses in the first region in the substrate adjacent to the sidewall spacers. We form S/D stressor regions filling the S/D recesses. The S/D stressor regions can be thicker adjacent to the gate structure than adjacent to the isolation regions; We implant dopant ions into the S/D stressor regions and into the substrate below the S/D stressor regions adjacent to the isolation regions to form upper stressor doped regions.

摘要： The present invention relates to a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate having one or more device regions. Each device region comprises at least a base semiconductor substrate layer and a semiconductor device layer with a buried insulator layer located therebetween, while the semiconductor device layer is supported by one or more vertical insulating pillars. The vertical insulating pillars each preferably has a ledge extending between the base semiconductor substrate layer and the semiconductor device layer. The SOI substrates of the present invention can be readily formed from a precursor substrate structure with a “floating” semiconductor device layer that is spaced apart from the base semiconductor substrate layer by an air gap and is supported by one or more vertical insulating pillars. The air gap is preferably formed by selective removal of a sacrificial layer located between the base semiconductor substrate layer and the semiconductor device layer.
