    Abstract: Expitaxial substitutional solid solutions of silicon carbon (101 ) can be obtained by an ultra-fast anneal of an amorphous carbon-containing silicon material. The anneal is performed at a temperature above the recrystallization point, but below the melting point of the material and preferably lasts for less than 100 milliseconds in this temperature regime. The anneal is preferably a flash anneal or laser anneal. This approach is able to produce epitaxial silicon and carbon-containing materials (101 ) with a substantial portion of the carbon atoms at substitutional lattice positions. The approach is especially useful in CMOS processes and other electronic device manufacture where the presence of epitaxial Si1-yCy, y

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device comprising at least one n-channel field effect transistor (n-FET). Specifically, the n-FET comprises first and second patterned stressor layers that both contain a carbon-substituted and tensilely stressed single crystal semiconductor. The first patterned stressor layer has a first carbon concentration and is located in source and drain (S/D) extension regions of the n-FET at a first depth. The second patterned stressor layer has a second, higher carbon concentration and is located in S/D regions of the n-FET at a second, deeper depth. Such an n-FET with the first and second patterned stressor layers of different carbon concentration and different depths provide improved stress profile for enhancing electron mobility in the channel region of the n-FET.

    Abstract: An embedded silicon carbon (Si:C) having a substitutional carbon content in excess of one percent in order to effectively increase electron mobility by application of tension to a channel region of an NFET is achieved by overfilling a gap or trench formed by transistor gate structures with Si:C and polishing an etching the Si:C to or below a surface of a raised gate structure in a super-Damascene process, leaving Si:C only in selected regions above the transistor source and drain, even though processes capable of depositing Si:C with sufficiently high substitutional carbon content are inherently non-selective.

    Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a field effect transistor ("FET") having a channel region in a semiconductor-on-insulator ("SOI") layer of an SOI substrate. Desirably, in such method, a sacrificial stressed layer is formed to overlie a first portion of an active semiconductor region but not overlie second portion of the active semiconductor region which shares a common boundary with the first portion. After forming trenches in the SOI layer, the SOI substrate is heated with the stressed layer thereon sufficiently to cause the stressed layer to relax, thereby causing the stressed layer to apply a first stress to the first portion and to apply a second stress to the second portion. For example, when the first stress is tensile, the second stress is compressive, or the first stress can be compressive when the second stress is tensile. Desirably, the stressed layer is then removed to expose the first and second portions of the active semiconductor region. Desirably, the field effect transistor ("FET") is formed to include (i) a source region in the first portion, (ii) a drain region in the first portion, and (iii) a channel region in the second portion.

The second patterned stressor layer has a second, higher carbon concentration and is located in S/D regions of the n-FET at a second, deeper depth. Such an n-FET with the first and second patterned stressor layers of different carbon concentration and different depths provide improved stress profile for enhancing electron mobility in the channel region of the n-FET.
