摘要:
A gate structure is formed straddling a first portion of a plurality of semiconductor fins that extend upwards from a topmost surface of an insulator layer. A dielectric spacer is formed on sidewalls of the gate structure and straddling a second portion of the plurality of semiconductor fins. Epitaxial semiconductor material portions that include a non-planar bottommost surface and a non-planar topmost surface are grown from at least the exposed sidewalls of each semiconductor fin not including the gate structure or the gate spacer to merge adjacent semiconductor fins. A gap is present beneath epitaxial semiconductor material portions and the topmost surface of the insulator layer. A second epitaxial semiconductor material is formed on the epitaxial semiconductor material portions and thereafter the second epitaxial semiconductor material is converted into a metal semiconductor alloy.

A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes growing an epitaxial doped layer over an exposed portion of a plurality of fins. The epitaxial doped layer combines the exposed portion of the fins to form a merged source and drain region. An implantation process occurs in the fins through the epitaxial doped layer to change the crystal lattice of the fins to form amorphized fins. A nitride layer is deposited over the semiconductor structure. The nitride layer covers the merged source and drain regions. A thermal treatment is performed in the semiconductor structure to re-crystallize the amorphized fins to form re-crystallized fins. The re-crystallized fins, the epitaxial doped layer and the nitride layer form a strained source and drain region which induces stress to a channel region.
摘要:
Ion implantation to change an effective work function for dual work function metal gate integration is presented. One method may include forming a high dielectric constant (high-k) layer over a first-type field effect transistor (FET) region and a second-type FET region; forming a metal layer having a first effective work function compatible for a first-type FET over the first-type FET region and the second-type FET region; and changing the first effective work function to a second, different effective work function over the second-type FET region by implanting a species into the metal layer over the second-type FET region.
