    摘要: The present invention disclosure provides a super-long semiconductor nanowire structure. The super-long semiconductor nanowire structure is intermittently widened to prevent fractures in the super-long semiconductor nanowire structure. At the same time, the present invention further provides a method of making a super-long semiconductor nanowire structure. The method forms an intermittently widened super-long semiconductor nanowire structure using photolithography and etching. Because the super-long semiconductor nanowire structure is intermittently widened, fracturing of the super-long semiconductor nanowire structure during etching can be avoided, making it easier to form a super-long and ultra-thin semiconductor nanowire structure.

    摘要: A method of making a transistor, comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a gate stack over the semiconductor substrate; forming an insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate; forming a depleting layer over the insulating layer; etching the depleting layer and the insulating layer; forming a metal layer over the semiconductor substrate; performing thermal annealing; and removing the metal layer. As advantages of the present invention, an upper outside part of each of the sidewalls include a material that can react with the metal layer, so that metal on two sides of the sidewalls is absorbed during the annealing process, preventing the metal from diffusing toward the semiconductor layer, and ensuring that the formed Schottky junctions can be ultra-thin and uniform, and have controllable and suppressed lateral growth.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method of making nano-MOS devices having a metal gate, thereby avoiding the poly depletion effect, and enhancing the MOS device's performance. The method forms metal gates by depositing a metal film over sidewall surfaces on two sides of a polycrystalline semiconductor layer. The metal in the metal film diffuses toward the sidewall surfaces of the polycrystalline semiconductor layer and forms, after annealing, metal-semiconductor compound nanowires (i.e., metal gates) on the sidewall surfaces of the polycrystalline semiconductor layer. Thus, high-resolution lithography is not required to form metal compound semiconductor nanowires, resulting in significant cost saving. At the same time, a nano-MOS device is also disclosed, which includes a metal gate, thereby avoiding the poly depletion effect, and resulting in enhanced MOS device performance.

    摘要: A metal-semiconductor-compound thin film is disclosed, which is formed between a semiconductor layer and a polycrystalline semiconductor layer, the metal-semiconductor-compound thin film having a thickness of about 2˜5 nm, so as to improve a contact between the semiconductor layer and the polycrystalline semiconductor layer. A DRAM storage cell is also disclosed. A metal-semiconductor-compound thin film having a thickness of about 2-5 nm is added between a drain region of a MOS transistor and a polycrystalline semiconductor buffer layer in the DRAM storage cell, so as to enhance read/write speed of the transistor of the DRAM storage cell while preventing excessive increase in leakage current between the drain region and a semiconductor substrate. A method for making a DRAM storage cell is also disclosed. A DRAM storage cell made using the method has a metal-semiconductor-compound thin film, with a thickness controlled at about 2˜5 nm, formed between a drain region of its MOS transitor and a polycrystalline semiconductor buffer layer, so as to enhance the performance of the DRAM storage cell.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of making metal/semiconductor compound thin films, in which a target material is partially ionized into an ionic state during metal deposition using a PVD process, so as to produce metal ions, and in which a substrate bias voltage is applied to a semiconductor substrate, causing the metal ions to accelerate into the semiconductor substrate and enter the semiconductor substrate, resulting in more metal ions diffusing to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, greater deposition depth, and increased thickness of the eventually formed metal/semiconductor compound thin film. An amount of metal ions entering the semiconductor substrate can be adjusted by adjusting the substrate bias voltage, so as to adjust the thickness of the eventually formed metal/semiconductor compound.
