Abstract:
A hybrid substrate having a high-mobility surface for use with planar and/or multiple-gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is provided. The hybrid substrate has a first surface portion that is optimal for n-type devices, and a second surface portion that is optimal for p-type devices. Due to proper surface and wafer flat orientations in each semiconductor layers of the hybrid substrate, all gates of the devices are oriented in the same direction and all channels are located on the high mobility surface. The present invention also provides for a method of fabricating the hybrid substrate as well as a method of integrating at least one planar or multiple-gate MOSFET thereon.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit, such as a SRAM cell (130), including an inverted FinFET transistor (P2) and a FinFET transistor (N3). The inverted FinFET transistor includes a first gate region (108) formed by semiconductor structure (100) on a substrate, a first body region comprised of a semiconductor layer (104), having a first channel region (112) disposed on the first gate region and a source (110) and drain (114) formed on either side of the first channel region. The FinFET transistor (N3) is coupled to the inverted FinFET transistor, and includes a second body region formed by the semiconductor structure (102), having a second channel region (118) and a source (116) and drain (120) formed on either side of the second channel region, and a second gate region (122) comprised of the semiconductor layer, disposed on the second channel region.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a FinFET device that has a first fin and a second fin. Each fin has a channel region and source and drain regions that extend from the channel region. The fins have different heights. The invention has a gate conductor positioned adjacent the fins. The gate conductor runs perpendicular to the fins and crosses the channel region of each of the first fin and second fin. The fins are parallel to one another. The ratio of the height of the first fin to the height of the second fin comprises a ratio of one to 2/3. The ratio is used to tune the performance of the transistor and determines the total channel width of the transistor.
Abstract:
A MUGFET and method of manufacturing a MUGFET is shown. The method of manufacturing the MUGFET includes forming temporary spacer gates about a plurality of active regions and depositing a dielectric material over the temporary spacer gates, including between the plurality of active regions. The method further includes etching portions of the dielectric material to expose the temporary spacer gates and removing the temporary spacer gates, leaving a space between the active regions and a remaining portion of the dielectric material. The method additionally includes filling the space between the active regions and above the remaining portion of the dielectric material with a gate material.
