    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: Processes are provided for fabricating a substrate having a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) or silicon-on-nothing (SON) architecture, which are applicable to the manufacture of semiconductor devices, especially transistors such as those of the MOS, CMOS, BICMOS, and HCMOS types. In the fabrication processes, a multilayer stack is grown on a substrate by non-selective full-wafer epitaxy. The multilayer stack includes a silicon layer on a Ge or SiGe layer. Active regions are defined and masked, and insulating pads are formed so as to be located around the perimeter of each of the active regions at predetermined intervals and placed against the sidewalls of the active regions. The insulating trenches are etched, and the SiGe or Ge layer is laterally etched so as to form an empty tunnel under the silicon layer. The trenches are filled with a dielectric. In the case of an SOI archiutecture, the tunnel is filled with a dielectric.

    Abstract: A process for making a DRAM-type cell includes growing layers of silicon germanium and layers of silicon, by epitaxy from a silicon substrate; superposing a first layer of N+ doped silicon and a second layer of P doped silicon; and forming a transistor on the silicon substrate. The method also includes etching a trench in the extension of the transistor to provide an access to the silicon germanium layers relative to the silicon layers over a pre-set depth to form lateral cavities, and forming a capacitor in the trench and in the lateral cavities.

    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.
