    摘要: Asymmetric transistors may be formed by creating pocket implants on one source-drain terminal of a transistor and not the other. Asymmetric transistors may also be formed using dual-gate structures having first and second gate conductors of different work functions. Stacked transistors may be formed by stacking two transistors of the same channel type in series. One of the source-drain terminals of each of the two transistors is connected to a common node. The gates of the two transistors are also connected together. The two transistors may have different threshold voltages. The threshold voltage of the transistor that is located higher in the stacked transistor may be provided with a lower threshold voltage than the other transistor in the stacked transistor. Stacked transistors may be used to reduce leakage currents in circuits such as memory cells. Asymmetric transistors may also be used in memory cells to reduce leakage.

    摘要: Processing is performed during fabrication of a strained silicon NMOS device to create point defects in silicon germanium portions of source regions, and optionally of drain regions, prior to activation of source and drain region dopants. The point defects retard diffusion of the n-type dopants in the silicon germanium material, effectively lengthening the duration of the diffusivity transient region and resulting in lower overall dopant diffusivity during activation.

    摘要: A fabrication system utilizes a protocol for removing native oxide from a top surface of a wafer. An exposure to a plasma, such as a plasma containing hydrogen and argon can remove the native oxide from the top surface without causing excessive germanium contamination. The protocol can use a hydrogen fluoride dip. The hydrogen fluoride dip can be used before the plasma is used. The protocol allows better silicidation in SMOS devices.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices, such as transistors, with a supersaturated concentration of dopant in the source/drain extension and metal silicide contacts enable the production of smaller, higher speed devices. Supersaturated source/drain extensions are subject to dopant diffusion out from the source/drain extension during high temperature metal silicide contact formation. The formation of lower temperature metal silicide contacts, such as nickel silicide contacts, prevents dopant diffusion and maintains the source/drain extensions in a supersaturated state throughout semiconductor device manufacturing.

    摘要: High-speed semiconductor devices with reduced source/drain junction capacitance and reduced junction leakage based on strain silicon technology are fabricated by extending a shallow trench isolation region under the strained silicon layer. Embodiments include anisotropically etching the trench region and subsequently isotropically etching the trench to form laterally extending regions under the strained silicon layer. Embodiments also include filling the trench with an insulating material such that an air pocket is formed in the trench.
