Abstract: In some embodiments, a semiconductor surface having a high mobility semiconductor may be effectively passivated by nitridation, preferably using hydrazine, a hydrazine derivative, or a combination thereof. The surface may be the semiconductor surface of a transistor channel region. In some embodiments, a semiconductor surface oxide layer is formed at the semiconductor surface and the passivation is accomplished by forming a semiconductor oxynitride layer at the surface, with the nitridation contributing nitrogen to the surface oxide to form the oxynitride layer. The semiconductor oxide layer may be deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and the nitridation may also be conducted as part of the ALD.

The surface may be the semiconductor surface of a transistor channel region. In some embodiments, native oxide is removed from the semiconductor surface and the surface is subsequently nitrided. In some other embodiments, a semiconductor surface oxide layer is formed at the semiconductor surface and the passivation is accomplished by forming a semiconductor oxynitride layer at the surface, with the nitridation contributing nitrogen to the surface oxide to form the oxynitride layer.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an MIS-type contact structure is formed by passivating the semiconductor surface of a source/drain region with a chalcogen, and subsequently depositing an tunnel layer by first exposing the chalcogen-passivated surface to a metal-organic precursor. Subsequently, deposition of the tunnel layer continues to a desired thickness. Preferably, the metal-organic precursor is part of a first set of ALD precursors and a second set of ALD precursors, which include one or more metal or semimetal precursors, are subsequently used to continue the deposition. For example, the metal-organic precursor may be used to deposit a first portion of the tunnel layer, and an inorganic metal or inorganic semimetal precursor or a different organic metal or organic semimetal precursor may be used to deposit a second portion of the tunnel layer. A metal is subsequently deposited on the tunnel layer, e.g., to form a metal electrode or electrical contact.
