    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: An electronic device includes a conductive channel defining a crystal structure and having a length and a thickness tc; and a gate stack of thickness tg in contact with a surface of the channel. Further, the gate stack comprises a material that exerts one of a compressive or a tensile force on the contacted surface of the channel such that electrical mobility of the charge carriers (electrons or holes) along the channel length is increased due to the compressive or tensile force in dependence on alignment of the channel length relative to the crystal structure. Embodiments are given for chips with both hole and electron mobility increased in different transistors, and a method for making such a transistor or chip.

    Abstract: A stressed film applied across a boundary defined by a structure or a body (e.g. substrate or layer) of semiconductor material provides a change from tensile to compressive stress in the semiconductor material proximate to the boundary and is used to modify boron diffusion rate during annealing and thus modify final boron concentrations. In the case of a field effect transistor, the gate structure may be formed with or without sidewalls to regulate the location of the boundary relative to source/drain, extension and/or halo implants. Different boron diffusion rates can be produced in the lateral and vertical directions and diffusion rates comparable to arsenic can be achieved. Reduction of junction capacitance of both nFETs and pFETs can be achieved simultaneously with the same process steps.

    Abstract: A DRAM cell with a vertical transistor forms a buried strap outdiffusion with reduced lateral extent by shifting high temperature steps that affect the thermal budget before the initial buried strap diffusion. The gate conductor is formed in two steps, with poly sidewalls being put down above a sacrificial Trench top oxide to form a self-aligned poly-gate insulator structure before the formation of the LDD extension.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure and its method of fabrication utilize a semiconductor substrate having an active region mesa surrounded by an isolation trench. A first isolation region having a first stress is located in the isolation trench. A second isolation region having a second stress different than the first stress is also located in the isolation trench. The first isolation region and the second isolation region are sized and positioned to rotationally shear stress the active region mesa.
