    摘要: A method is provided for forming an SOI MOSFET device with a silicon layer formed on a dielectric layer with a gate electrode stack, with sidewall spacers on sidewalls of the gate electrode stack and raised source/drain regions formed on the surface of the silicon layer. The gate electrode stack comprises a gate electrode formed of polysilicon over a gate dielectric layer formed on the surface of the silicon layer. A thin amorphous silicon cap layer is formed in the top surface of the gate electrode by implanting dopant into the surface thereof. A notch is etched into the periphery of the cap layer. A plug of dielectric material is formed in the notch. The sidewalls of the gate electrode are covered by the sidewall spacers which cover a portion of the plug for the purpose of eliminating the exposure of the gate polysilicon so that formation of spurious epitaxial growth during the formation of raised source/drain regions is avoided.

    摘要: A method for precise thinning to form a recess to a precise depth in a crystalline silicon layer, which can be used to form various devices, such as MOSFET devices, includes the following steps. Form a patterning mask with a window therethrough over the top surface of the silicon layer. Form an amorphized region in the top surface of the silicon layer below the window. Selectively etch away the amorphized region of the silicon layer to form a recess in the surface of the silicon layer, and remove the patterning mask. In the case of an MOSFET device form a hard mask below the patterning mask with the window extending therethrough. Then create sidewall spacers in the window through the hard mask and form a gate electrode stack in the window. Then remove the hard mask and form the source/drain extensions, halos and regions plus silicide and complete the MOSFET device.

    摘要: A method for modulating the stress caused by bird beak formation of small width devices by a nitrogen plasma treatment. The nitrogen plasma process forms a nitride liner about the trench walls that serves to prevent the formation of bird beaks in the isolation region during a subsequent oxidation step. In one embodiment, the plasma nitridation process occurs after trench etching, but prior to trench fill. In yet another embodiment, the plasma nitridation process occurs after trench fill. In yet another embodiment, a block mask is formed over predetermined active areas of the etched substrate prior to the plasma nitridation process. This embodiment is used in protecting the PFET device area from the plasma nitridation process thereby providing a means to form a PFET device area in which stress caused by bird beak formation increases the device performance of the PFET.

    摘要: A method of forming a field effect transistor creates shallower and sharper junctions, while maximizing dopant activation in processes that are consistent with current manufacturing techniques. More specifically, the invention increases the oxygen content of the top surface of a silicon substrate. The top surface of the silicon substrate is preferably cleaned before increasing the oxygen content of the top surface of the silicon substrate. The oxygen content of the top surface of the silicon substrate is higher than other portions of the silicon substrate, but below an amount that would prevent epitaxial growth. This allows the invention to epitaxially grow a silicon layer on the top surface of the silicon substrate. Further, the increased oxygen content substantially limits dopants within the epitaxial silicon layer from moving into the silicon substrate.

    摘要: Silicon on insulator (SOI) field effect transistors (FET) with a shared body contact, a SRAM cell and array including the SOI FETs and the method of forming the SOI FETs. The SRAM cell has a hybrid SOI/bulk structure wherein the source/drain diffusions do not penetrate to the underlying insulator layer, resulting in a FET in the surface of an SOI layer with a body or substrate contact formed at a shared contact. FETs are formed on SOI silicon islands located on a BOX layer and isolated by shallow trench isolation (STI). NFET islands in the SRAM cells include a body contact to a P-type diffusion in the NFET island. Each NFET in the SRAM cells include at least one shallow source/drain diffusion that is shallower than the island thickness. A path remains under the shallow diffusions between NFET channels and the body contact. The P-type body contact diffusion is a deep diffusion, the full thickness of the island. Bit line diffusions shared by SRAM cells on adjacent wordlines may be deep diffusions.
