Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure and method for selective deposition of germanium spacers on nitride.SOLUTION: A method of selectively forming a germanium structure within semiconductor manufacturing processes removes the native oxide in a chemical oxide removal (COR) process and then exposes the heated nitride surface and a oxide surface to a heated germanium containing gas to selectively form germanium only on the nitride surface but not the oxide surface.
Abstract:
An SOI circuit configuration effective for minimizing plasma-induced charging damage during fabrication comprises the formation of charge collectors connected to the gate electrode and the semiconductor body, wherein each one of the charge collectors have the same or substantially the same shape and dimension. A connecting structure formed between a device fabricated on SOI substrate and substrate is delayed until the latter stages of processing.
