    摘要: Semiconductor devices comprising fully and partially depleted SOI transistors with accurately defined monocrystalline or substantially completely monocrystalline silicon source/drain extensions are fabricated by selectively pre-amorphizing intended source/drain extensions, ion implanting dopants into the pre-amorphized regions and laser thermal annealing to effect crystallization and activation of the source/drain extensions. Embodiments include forming a gate electrode over an SOI substrate with a gate dielectric layer therebetween, forming silicon nitride sidewall spacers on the side surfaces of the gate electrode, forming source/drain regions, forming a thermal oxide layer on the gate electrode and on the source/drain regions, removing the silicon nitride sidewall spacers, pre-amorphizing the intended source/drain extension regions, ion implanting impurities into the pre-amorphized regions and laser thermal annealing to crystallize the pre-amorphized regions and to activate the source/drain extensions.

    摘要: The present invention enables the production of improved high-speed semiconductor devices. The present invention provides the higher speed offered by strained silicon technology coupled with the smaller overall device size provided by shallow trench isolation technology without relaxation of the portion of the strained silicon layer adjacent to a shallow trench isolation region by laterally extending a shallow trench isolation into the strained silicon layer overlying a silicon germanium layer.

    摘要: A method for implementing a self-aligned metal silicide gate is achieved by confining a metal within a recess overlying a channel and annealing to cause metal and its overlying silicon to interact to form the self-aligned metal silicide gate. A gate dielectric layer formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack is formed on the bottom and sidewalls of the recess prior to depositing the silicon. The metal is removed except for the portion of the metal in the recess. A planarization step is performed to remove the remaining unreacted silicon by chemical mechanical polishing until no silicon is detected.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a gate dielectric formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack formed within a recess. Amorphous silicon is deposited on the gate dielectric within the recess and a metal is deposited on the amorphous silicon. An annealing process forms a metal silicide gate within the recess on the gate dielectric. A wider range of metal materials can be selected because the gate dielectric formed of oxynitride or a nitride/oxide stack remains stable during the silicidation process. The metal silicide gate significantly reduces the sheet resistance between the gate and gate terminal.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and method for making the same provides a metal gate on a silicon substrate. The gate includes a high dielectric constant on the substrate, and a chemical vapor deposited layer of amorphous silicon on the high k gate dielectric. The metal is then deposited on the CVD amorphous silicon layer. An annealing process forms silicide in the gate, with a layer of silicon remaining unreacted. The work function of the metal gate is substantially the same as a polysilicon gate due to the presence of the CVD amorphous silicon layer.

    摘要: Deleterious roughness of metal silicide/doped Si interfaces arising during conventional salicide processing for forming shallow-depth source and drain junction regions of MOS transistors and/or CMOS devices due to poor compatibility of particular dopants and metal suicides is avoided, or at least substantially reduced, by implanting a first (main) dopant species having relatively good compatibility with the metal silicide, such that the maximum concentration thereof is at a depth above the depth to which silicidation reaction occurs and implanting a second (auxiliary) dopant species having relatively poor compatibility with the metal silicide, wherein the maximum concentration thereof is less than that of the first (main) dopant and is at a depth below the depth to which silicidation reaction occurs. The invention enjoys particular utility in forming NiSi layers on As-doped Si substrates.
