摘要:
A method of forming a transistor comprising forming a gate structure over an n-type semiconductor body and forming recesses substantially aligned to the gate structure in the semiconductor body. Silicon germanium is then epitaxially grown in the recesses and a silicon cap layer is formed over the silicon germanium. Further introduction of impurities into the silicon germanium to increase the melting point thereof and implanting p-type source/drain regions in the semiconductor body is included in the method. The method concludes with performing a high temperature thermal treatment.

A semiconductor device includes source/drain regions formed in a substrate and having a concentration of nitrogen of at least about 5E18 cm−3. A gate dielectric is located over the substrate and between the source/drain regions. Gate sidewall spacers are located over said source/drain regions. A nitrogen-doped electrode including polysilicon is located over the gate dielectric. The electrode has a concentration of nitrogen therein greater than the concentration of nitrogen in the source/drain regions.

A PMOS transistor and a method for fabricating a PMOS transistor. The method may include providing a semiconductor wafer having a PMOS transistor gate stack, source/drain extension regions, and active regions. The method may also include forming epi sidewalls, performing a ex-situ recess etch, and performing an in-situ recess etch. The ex-situ recess etch and the in-situ recess etch form recessed active regions. The PMOS transistor is formed by a method using ex-situ and in-situ etch and has epitaxial SiGe regions with a greatest width at the surface of the semiconductor wafer.
摘要:
One aspect of the invention relates to a method of forming P-N junctions within a semiconductor substrate. The method involves providing a temporary impurity species, such as fluorine, within the semiconductor crystal matrix prior to solid source in-diffusion of the primary dopant, such as boron. The impurity atom is a faster diffusing species relative to silicon atoms. During in-diffusion, the temporary impurity species acts to reduce the depth to which the primary dopant diffuses and thereby facilitates the formation of very shallow junctions.

A method of forming a retrograde well in a transistor is provided. A transistor structure having a substrate, a gate, and a gate oxide layer between the substrate and the gate is formed. The substrate includes a channel region located generally below the gate. A first dopant is implanted into the channel region. A second dopant is implanted into the substrate to form a doped source region and a doped drain region. A third dopant is implanted into the gate oxide layer. A source/drain anneal is performed to form a source and a drain in the doped source region and the doped drain region, respectively. The source/drain anneal causes a portion of the first dopant in the channel region to be attracted by the third dopant into the gate oxide layer.

The present invention provides, in one aspect, a method of fabricating a gate oxide layer on a microelectronics substrate. This embodiment comprises forming a stress inducing pattern on a backside of a microelectronics wafer and growing a gate oxide layer on a front side of the microelectronics wafer in the presence of a tensile stress caused by the stress inducing pattern.
摘要:
Methods are described for fabricating MOS type transistors, in which multiple drain extension implants are performed using different dopant species of the same type. The implanted drain extension dopants are activated using separate anneal processes to provide active dopants of both species throughout the drain extension regions adjacent the transistor channel.
