    摘要: Forming a vertical MOS transistor or making another three-dimensional integrated circuit structure in a silicon wafer exposes planes having at least two different crystallographic orientations. Growing oxide on different crystal planes is inherently at different growth rates because the inter-atomic spacing is different in the different planes. Heating the silicon in a nitrogen-containing ambient to form a thin layer of nitride and then growing the oxide through the thin nitrided layer reduces the difference in oxide thickness to less than 1%.

    摘要: Semiconductor structures including a high k gate dielectric material that has at least one surface threshold voltage adjusting region located within 3 nm or less from an upper surface of the high k gate dielectric are provided. The at least one surface threshold voltage adjusting region is formed by a cluster beam implant step in which at least one threshold voltage adjusting impurity is formed directly within the high k gate dielectric or driven in from an overlying threshold voltage adjusting material which is subsequently removed from the structure following the cluster beam implant step.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided. The structure includes an n-type field-effect-transistor (NFET) being formed directly on top of a strained silicon layer, and a p-type field-effect-transistor (PFET) being formed on top of the same stained silicon layer but via a layer of silicon-germanium (SiGe). The strained silicon layer may be formed on top of a layer of insulating material or a silicon-germanium layer with graded Ge content variation. Furthermore, the NFET and PFET are formed next to each other and are separated by a shallow trench isolation (STI) formed inside the strained silicon layer. Methods of forming the semiconductor structure are also provided.

    摘要: An Integrated Circuit (IC) chip that may be a bulk CMOS IC chip with silicon on insulator (SOI) Field Effect Transistors (FETs) and method of making the chip. The IC chip includes areas with pockets of buried insulator strata and FETs formed on the strata are SOI FETs. The SOI FETs may include Partially Depleted SOI (PD-SOI) FETs and Fully Depleted SOI (FD-SOI) FETs and the chip may include bulk FETs as well. The FETs are formed by contouring the surface of a wafer, conformally implanting oxygen to a uniform depth, and planarizing to remove the Buried OXide (BOX) in bulk FET regions.
