| 20080237748 | METHOD FOR FABRICATING HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRESS FILM AND STRAINED-SILICON TRANSISTORS - A method for fabricating strained silicon transistors is disclosed. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided, in which the semiconductor substrate includes a gate, at least a spacer, and a source/drain region formed thereon. Next, a precursor, silane, and ammonia are injected, in which the precursor is reacted with silane and ammonia to form a high compressive stress film on the surface of the gate, the spacer, and the source/drain region. Preferably, the high compressive stress film can be utilized in the fabrication of a poly stressor, a contact etch stop layer, and dual contact etch stop layers. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080242020 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A MOS TRANSISTOR DEVICE - A method of manufacturing a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor device is disclosed. A semiconductor substrate and a gate structure positioned on the semiconductor substrate are prepared first. A source region and a drain region are included in the semiconductor substrate on two opposite sides of the gate structure. Subsequently, a stressed cap layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and covers the gate structure, the source region and the drain region. Next, an inert gas treatment is performed to change a stress value of the stressed cap layer. Because the stress value of the stressed cap layer can be adjusted easily by means of the present invention, one stressed cap layer can be applied to both the N-type MOS transistor and the P-type MOS transistor. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20080296631 | METAL-OXIDE-SEMICONDUCTOR TRANSISTOR AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME - A method of forming a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor device is disclosed. A semiconductor substrate is prepared first, and the semiconductor substrate has a gate structure, a source region and a drain region.
