    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: A transistor has an indium-doped Si-Ge buried layer located in a region of a silicon channel. An indium-implanted transistor has a silicon channel region in which a buried layer of an indium-implanted alloy Si1-xGex, where 10 ≤ x ≤ 4 x 10 , preferably 10 ≤ x ≤ 10 . The amount of implanted indium is 1 x 10 -4 x 10 atoms/cm , preferably 5 x 10 -5 x 10 atoms/cm . The implanted indium has an implantation profile that is electrically active, retrograde and stable, and approaches the profile of indium chemical retrograde implantation. Independent claims are given for methods of production of the transistor. One method comprises: (a) producing, on at least one zone in the surface of a silicon substrate, the zone being intended to form a region of a transistor channel, a multilayered composite film comprising, successively from the initial surface of the substrate, at least one Si1-xGex alloy layer, as above, and an external silicon layer of at least 5 nm thickness; (b) implanting indium into the Si1-xGex alloy layer; and (c) completing the fabrication of a transistor in order to obtain a transistor whose channel region comprises a buried layer of indium-implanted Si1-xGex.

    Abstract: The production of a field effect transistor comprises: (A) obtaining a conductor substrate (100) supporting a portion of semiconductor material above a surface (S), with a portion of temporary material between it and the substrate; (B) forming a gate (2) comprising an upper part (C) in rigid liaison with the semiconductor material and a support part (A) resting on the substrate, the gate being obtained such that it is electrically insulated with respect to the semiconductor material and the conductor substrate; (C) removing the temporary material, the gate assuring the retention of the semiconductor material portion with respect to the substrate, in a manner to create an empty space between the semiconductor material portion and the substrate in place of the temporary material; (D) filling, at least partially, the empty space with an insulating material. Independent claims are also included for: (A) a field effect transistor produced by the method; (B) an integrated circuit incorporating this field effect transistor.
