    Abstract: A conformal boron doping method for a three-dimensional structure includes the steps of: removing a natural oxide layer on a surface of a silicon-based three-dimensional substrate; forming a buffer layer on the surface of the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate; forming a boron oxide thin film on the alumina buffer layer; covering a passivation layer on a surface of the boron oxide thin film; and driving boron impurities containing boron oxide into the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate through the buffer layer by using laser or rapid annealing, to dope the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate. Selecting suitable boron source precursors and oxidants solves the problems of difficult nucleation and inability to form a film after reaching a certain thickness for boron oxide. By selecting alumina as the passivation layer, it is possible to protect the boron oxide thin film from being damaged, and thus achieve damage-free diffusion doping during laser or rapid annealing processes.

    Abstract: A method for monolithic integration of a hyperspectral image sensor is provided, which includes: forming a bottom reflecting layer on a surface of the photosensitive region of a CMOS image sensor wafer; forming a transparent cavity layer composed of N step structures on the bottom reflecting layer through area selective atomic layer deposition processes, where N=2m, m≥1 and m is a positive integer; and forming a top reflecting layer on the transparent cavity layer. With the method, non-uniformity accumulation due to etching processes in conventional technology is minimized, and the cavity layer can be made of materials which cannot be etched. Mosaic cavity layers having such repeated structures with different heights can be formed by extending one-dimensional ASALD, such as extending in another dimension and forming repeated regions, which can be applied to snapshot hyperspectral image sensors, for example, pixels, and greatly improving performance thereof.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a transistor having a gate with a variable work function, comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a dummy gate stack on the semiconductor substrate and performing ion implantation on an exposed area of the semiconductor substrate at both sides of the dummy gate stack to form source/drain regions; removing the dummy gate and annealing the source/drain regions; providing an atomic layer deposition reaction device; introducing a precursor source reactant into the atomic layer deposition reaction device; and controlling an environmental factor for the atomic layer deposition device to grow a work function metal layer. The present disclosure also provides a transistor having a gate with a variable work function. The present disclosure may adjust a variable work function, and may use the same material system to obtain an adjustable threshold voltage within an adjustable range.
