Abstract:
A hybrid substrate having a high-mobility surface for use with planar and/or multiple-gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is provided. The hybrid substrate has a first surface portion that is optimal for n-type devices, and a second surface portion that is optimal for p-type devices. Due to proper surface and wafer flat orientations in each semiconductor layers of the hybrid substrate, all gates of the devices are oriented in the same direction and all channels are located on the high mobility surface. The present invention also provides for a method of fabricating the hybrid substrate as well as a method of integrating at least one planar or multiple-gate MOSFET thereon.

Abstract:
Accordingly, the present invention provides a double gated transistor and a method for forming the same that results in improved device performance and density. The preferred embodiment of the present invention uses provides a double gated transistor with asymmetric gate doping, where one of the double gates is doped degenerately n-type and the other degenerately p-type. By doping on of the gates n-type, and the other p-type, the threshold voltage of the resulting device is improved. In particular, by asymmetrically doping the two gates, the resulting transistor can, with adequate doping of the body, have a threshold voltage in a range that enables low-voltage CMOS operation. For example, a transistor can be created that has a threshold voltage between 0V and 0.5V for nFETs and between 0 and -0.5V for pFETs.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a double gate transistor and a method of forming the same which facilitates the formation of different transistors having different threshold voltages. SOLUTION: Transistors having different body widths are formed. By forming double gate transistors with different body widths, double gate transistors having different threshold voltages can be formed without adding excessive process complexity. The formation of the double gate transistors having different threshold voltages is implemented using a fin-type double gated structure. In the fin-type structure, the double gates are formed on each side of the body, with the body being disposed horizontally between the gates. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
A structure and method of fabrication for PMOS devices in a compressively strained Ge layer is disclosed. The fabrication method of such devices is compatible with standard CMOS technology and it is fully scalable. The processing includes selective epitaxial depositions of an over 50% Ge content buffer layer, a pure Ge layer, and a SiGe top layer. Fabricated buried channel PMOS devices hosted in the compressively strained Ge layer show superior device characteristics relative to similar Si devices.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dual-gate field effect transistor (DGFET) structure which can noticeably reduce the parasitic capacitance under its source/drain region, and its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: This double-gate field effect transistor (DGFET) adopts new two means for reducing the parasitic capacitance under its source/drain region. One means is as follows: a silicon region outside a gate is converted into an oxide 44, while a silicon/ledge 46 adjacent to the gate 58 is protected with a first spacer having a first width. This oxidation can be performed easily by means of implantation of self-aligned oxygen ions or other ions. The other means is to have the first spacer removed and replaced with a second spacer 48 which has a width smaller than that of the first one, and a new silicon source/drain region 60 formed under a self-aligned isolation region 56 by lateral selective full overgrowth, by using the newly exposed silicon/ledge 46 as a seed. Thus, the capacitance value of a backplane 32 can be decreased, while the control of the threshold voltage is retained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal oxide film semiconductor field effect type(MOSFET) device, which has a gate insulator of high permittivity (permittivity higher than 7), low overlap capacity (at most 0.35 fF/μm) and a channel length shorter than the gate length as defined by lithography. SOLUTION: This method contains a damascene treatment process and a chemical oxide removal(COR) process. In the COR process, a large tape is formed on a pad oxide layer. When the pad oxide layer is combined with the gate insulator of high permittivity, low overlap capacity, short channel length and superior device characteristic can be realized, as compared with an MOSFET device which is formed by using a normal complementary metal oxide film semiconductor(CMOS) method.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high performance (surface channel) CMOS device provided with a mid gap work function metal gate. SOLUTION: An epitaxial layer is used for adjustment/reduction of a threshold voltage V t of PFET region and large amount of reduction in V t (up to 500 mV) which are required by a CMOS device provided with a mid gap metal gate. In this case, the counter doping using an in-site B (boron) doped epitaxial layer or B and C (carbon) codoped epitaxial layer is provided. Here, the doping of C is important to give a surface channel CMOS device provided with the mid gap metal gate while an excellent short channel effect is maintained by holding the shallow B profile through the additional degree of freedom to relaxing the diffusion of B (even in the case of the subsequent activation heat cycle).
