Abstract:
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an SOI substrate. The method may be performed by epitaxially forming a silicon-germanium (SiGe) layer over a sacrificial substrate and epitaxially forming a first active layer on the SiGe layer. The first active layer has a composition different than the SiGe layer. The sacrificial substrate and is flipped and the first active layer is bonded to an upper surface of a dielectric layer formed over a first substrate. The sacrificial substrate and the SiGe layer are removed and the first active layer is etched to define outermost sidewalls and to expose an outside edge of an upper surface of the dielectric layer. A contiguous active layer is formed by epitaxially forming a second active layer on the first active layer. The first active layer and the second active layer have a substantially same composition.
Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a hard mask layer over a substrate comprising a semiconductor material of a first conductivity type, and forming a plurality of trenches in the hard mask layer and extending into the substrate. Each trench has at least one side wall and a bottom wall. The method further includes forming at least one barrier insulator layer along the at least one side wall and over the bottom wall of each trench, removing the at least one barrier insulator layer over the bottom wall of each trench, and filling the plurality of trenches with a semiconductor material of a second conductivity type.
Abstract:
Structures and formation methods of a semiconductor device structure are provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a supporting substrate. The semiconductor device structure also includes a first carrier-trapping layer covering the supporting substrate. The first carrier-trapping layer is doped with a group-IV dopant. The semiconductor device structure further includes an insulating layer covering the first carrier-trapping layer. In addition, the semiconductor device structure includes a semiconductor substrate over the insulating layer. The semiconductor device structure also includes a transistor. The transistor includes a gate stack over the semiconductor substrate and source and drain structures in the semiconductor substrate.
Abstract:
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate. The SOI substrate includes a dielectric layer disposed over a first substrate. The dielectric layer has an outside edge aligned with an outside edge of the first substrate. An active layer covers a first annular portion of an upper surface of the dielectric layer. The upper surface of the dielectric layer has a second annular portion that surrounds the first annular portion and extends to the outside edge of the dielectric layer. The second annular portion is uncovered by the active layer.
