摘要： At least one method, apparatus and system disclosed herein involves forming increased surface regions within EPI structures. A fin on a semiconductor substrate is formed. On a top portion of the fin, an epitaxial (EPI) structure is formed. The EPI structure has a first EPI portion having a first material and a second EPI portion having a second material. The first and second EPI portions are separated by a first separation layer. A first cavity is formed within the EPI structure by removing a portion of the second material in the second portion. A first conductive material is deposited into the first cavity.

摘要： A pFET includes a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate; and a trench isolation within the SOI substrate, the trench isolation including a raised portion extending above an upper surface of the SOI substrate. A compressive channel silicon germanium (cSiGe) layer is over the SOI substrate.

摘要： A method for forming a self-aligned sacrificial epitaxial cap for trench silicide and the resulting device are provided. Embodiments include forming a Si fin in a PFET region and a pair of Si fins in a NFET region; forming epitaxial S/D regions; forming a spacer over the S/D region in the PFET region; forming a sacrificial cap over the S/D regions in the NFET region, merging the pair of Si fins; removing the spacer from the S/D region in the PFET region; forming silicide trenches over the S/D regions in the PFET and NEFT regions; implanting dopant into the S/D region in the PFET region while the sacrificial cap protects the S/D regions in the NFET region; removing the sacrificial cap; and forming a metal layer over top surfaces of the S/D region in the PFET region and top and bottom surfaces of the S/D regions in the NFET region.

摘要： The disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to one or more devices with an engineered layer for modulating voltage threshold (Vt) and methods of manufacture. The method includes finding correlation of thickness of a buffer layer to out-diffusion of dopant into extension regions during annealing of a doped layer formed on the buffer layer. The method further includes determining a predetermined thickness of the buffer layer to adjust device performance characteristics based on the correlation of thickness of the buffer layer to the out-diffusion. The method further includes forming the buffer layer adjacent to gate structures to the predetermined thickness.

摘要： Semiconductor device fabrication method and structures are provided having a substrate structure which includes a silicon layer at an upper portion. The silicon layer is recessed in a first region of the substrate structure and remains unrecessed in a second region of the substrate structure. A protective layer having a first germanium concentration is formed above the recessed silicon layer in the first region, which extends along a sidewall of the unrecessed silicon layer of the second region. A semiconductor layer having a second germanium concentration is disposed above the protective layer in the first region of the substrate structure, where the first germanium concentration of the protective layer inhibits lateral diffusion of the second germanium concentration from the semiconductor layer in the first region into the unrecessed silicon layer in the second region of the substrate structure.

摘要： The present invention relates generally to semiconductor devices and more particularly, to a structure and method of forming a partially depleted semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) junction isolation structure using a nonuniform trench shape formed by reactive ion etching (RIE) and crystallographic wet etching. The nonuniform trench shape may reduce back channel leakage by providing an effective channel directly below a gate stack having a width that is less than a width of an effective back channel directly above the isolation layer.
