    Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing multiple-gate semiconductor devices is disclosed. An embodiment comprises multiple fins, wherein intra-fin isolation regions extend into the substrate less than inter-fin isolation regions. Regions of the multiple fins not covered by the gate stack are removed and source/drain regions are formed from the substrate so as to avoid the formation of voids between the fins in the source/drain region.

    Abstract: Rapid thermal annealing methods and systems for annealing patterned substrates with minimal pattern effect on substrate temperature non-uniformity are provided. The rapid thermal annealing system includes a front-side heating source and a backside heating source. The backside heating source of the rapid thermal annealing system supplies a dominant amount of heat to bring the substrate temperature to the peak annealing temperature. The front-side heating source contributes to heat up the environment near the front-side of the substrate to a temperature lower than about 100° C. to about 200° C. less than the peak annealing temperature. The asymmetric front-side and backside heating for rapid thermal annealing reduce or eliminate pattern effect and improve WIW and WID device performance uniformity.

    Abstract: Multi-stage preheat high-temperature anneal processes after the deposition of the gate dielectric layer(s) reduce the number of interfacial sites and improve the negative bias temperature instability (NTBI) performance of a p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor (PMOS). The gate dielectric layers may include an interfacial oxide layer and a high-k dielectric layer. The multi-stage preheat is designed to reduce dopant deactivation and to improve inter-mixing between the interfacial oxide layer and the high-k dielectric layer. The high-temperature anneal is used to reduce the number of interfacial sites at the interface between the silicon substrate and the interfacial oxide layer.

    Abstract: A gated-diode semiconductor device or similar component and a method of fabricating the device. The device features a gate structure disposed on a substrate over a channel and adjacent a source and a drain. The top of the source or drain region, or both, are formed so as to be at a higher elevation, in whole or in part, than the bottom of the gate structure. This configuration may be achieved by overlaying the gate structure and substrate with a profile layer that guides a subsequent etch process to create a sloped profile. The source and drain, if both are present, may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. This configuration significantly reduces dopant encroachment and, as a consequence, reduces junction leakage.
