A method of fabricating a MOS transistor includes the steps of: providing a substrate; forming a gate structure on the substrate; forming a first spacer on the sidewall of the gate structure and forming at least a recess within the substrate next to the first spacer; performing an oxygen-containing process to form an oxygen-containing layer on the surface of the recess; performing a cleaning process to remove the oxygen-containing layer; performing an epitaxial process to form an epitaxial layer in the recess; and removing the first spacer.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for fabricating a MOS transistor. A substrate having thereon a gate structure is provided. A silicon nitride layer is deposited on the gate structure. A dry etching process is then performed to define a silicon nitride spacer on each sidewall of the gate structure and a recess in a source/drain region on each side of the gate structure. A transitional layer covering the gate structure and the recess is deposited. A pre-epitaxial clean process is performed to remove the transitional layer. The substrate is subjected to a pre-bake process. An epitaxial growth process is performed to grow an embedded SiGe layer in the recess. The disposable silicon nitride spacer is removed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for gate leakage reduction and Vt shift control, in which a first ion implantation is performed on PMOS region and NMOS region of a substrate to implant fluorine ions, carbon ions, or both in the gate dielectric or the semiconductor substrate, and a second ion implantation is performed only on the NMOS region of the substrate to implant fluorine ions, carbon ions, or both in the gate dielectric or the semiconductor substrate in the NMOS region, with the PMOS region being covered by a mask layer. Thus, the doping concentrations obtained by the PMOS region and the NMOS region are different to compensate the side effect caused by the different equivalent oxide thickness and to avoid the Vt shift.

A source/drain extension region is formed in the substrate on each side of the gate structure. Thereafter, a carbon-containing material layer is formed over the substrate and then the carbon-containing material layer is etched back to form spacers on the sidewalls of the gate structure.

Finally, a post-annealing operation is performed.
