Abstract: The transistor (T) is situated above a base layer (1) formed on a semiconductor substrate (SB) of a relaxed silicon-germanium alloy, and comprises under the insulated gate (7) a first constrained silicon layer (2) rested on the base layer (1), a buried insulator layer (10) and a second constrained silicon layer (4) extending between the regions of the source (S) and the drain (D) of the transistor. The thickness of the two constrained silicon layers (2,4) and that of the intermediate insulator layer (10) is much less than that of the base layer, and it is a few tens of nanometres, for example 20 nm. The thickness of the base layer (1) is of the order of a few micrometres, for example 2 micrometres. The manufacturing method comprises the formation of the base layer (1) on the silicon substrate (SB), the first constrained silicon layer (2), an intermediate layer of silicon-germanium, the second constrained silicon layer (4), the insulated gate (7) of the transistor flanked by insulating regions (8), an etching of the intermediate layer so to form a tunnel below the insulated gate, filling the tunnel with an insulator material (10), and the formation of the regions of the source (S) and the drain (D). The two constrained silicon layers (2,4) and the intermediate layer are formed by non-selective epitaxy, and an isolation zone (5) is formed in upper part of the base layer compatible with non-relaxation of constraints in the constrained silicon layers.

Abstract: Gate-all-around (GAA) architecture semiconductor device production, by gate formation around a bridge structure formed by removing material below a silicon layer (5) having a thin single crystal central portion (5a), is new. A semiconductor device of GAA architecture is produced from a substrate (1) having a central active semiconductor region (2) surrounded by a peripheral insulating region (3) by (a) selective epitaxy of a single crystal Ge or SiGe alloy layer on the active region main surface; (b) non-selective epitaxy of a silicon layer (5) which is monocrystalline above the single crystal layer and which is polycrystalline above the insulating region surface; (c) masking and etching of the silicon layer (5) and the single crystal layer to form, on the active region main surface, a stack with two opposite side walls exposing the single crystal layer; (d) selective etching away of the single crystal layer so that the silicon layer forms a bridge structure having side walls, an external surface and an internal surface defining, with the active region main surface, a tunnel (7); (e) formation of a dielectric thin film (8, 9), which does not fill the tunnel, on the external and internal surfaces and on the side walls of the bridge structure; (f) deposition of conductive material to cover the bridge structure and to fill the tunnel; and (g) masking and etching of the conductive material to form an all-around gate region (10) of desired dimensions and geometry. An Independent claim is also included for a semiconductor device produced by the above process, the central part (5a) of the bridge structure (5) being of single crystal silicon and being 1-50 nm thick.

Abstract: The production of a vertical transistor with an insulated gate comprises the production of a vertical semiconductor column (5) on a semiconductor substrate (1) by anisotropic engraving and the formation of an insulated dielectric semiconductor gate supported on the sides of the column and on the upper surface of the substrate. The formation of the insulated gate comprises the formation of a dielectric gate layer (7) on the sides of the column and on the upper surface of the substrate, the realization of a semiconductor block (90, 800) supported on the dielectric gate layer and the formation of dielectric cavities extending partially in the semiconductor gate block, between this semiconductor gate block and the dielectric gate layer and respectively situated facing at least part of the source and drain regions. An Independent claim is also included for an integrated circuit incorporating a vertical transistor with an insulated gate of the type formed by the above process.
