20100009502Semiconductor Fabrication Process Including An SiGe Rework Method - A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming an SiGe region. The SiGe region can be an embedded source and drain region, or a compressive SiGe channel layer, or other SiGe regions within a semiconductor device. The SiGe region is exposed to an SC1 solution and excess surface portions of the SiGe region are selectively removed. The SC1 etching process can be part of a rework method in which overgrowth regions of SiGe are selectively removed by exposing the SiGe to and SC1 solution maintained at an elevated temperature. The etching process is carried out for a period of time sufficient to remove excess surface portions of SiGe. The SC1 etching process can be carried out at elevated temperatures ranging from about 25° C. to about 65° C.01-14-2010

20090081840Method of Forming Field Effect Transistors Using Diluted Hydrofluoric Acid to Remove Sacrificial Nitride Spacers - Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming a field effect transistor having a gate electrode, sacrificial nitride spacers on opposing sidewalls of the gate electrode and source/drain regions, which are self-aligned to the sacrificial nitride spacers, on a semiconductor substrate. The sacrificial nitride spacers are selectively removed using a diluted hydrofluoric acid solution having a nitride-to-oxide etching selectivity in excess of one. In order to increase charge carrier mobility within a channel of the field effect transistor, a stress-inducing electrically insulating layer is formed on opposing sidewalls of the gate electrode. This insulating layer is configured to induce a net tensile stress (NMOS) or compressive stress (PMOS) in the channel.03-26-2009

20100258904BOTTLE-SHAPED TRENCH CAPACITOR WITH ENHANCED CAPACITANCE - In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a method is provided for fabricating a semiconductor chip including a trench capacitor. In such method, a monocrystalline semiconductor region can be etched in a vertical direction through an opening in a dielectric layer to form a trench exposing a rough surface of monocrystalline semiconductor material. The trench has an initial lateral dimension in a first direction transverse to the vertical direction. The semiconductor material exposed at the surface of the trench then is etched in a crystallographic orientation-dependent manner to expose a multiplicity of crystal facets of the semiconductor material at the trench surface. A dopant-containing liner may then be deposited to line the surface of the trench and a temperature of the substrate then be elevated to drive a dopant from the dopant-containing liner into the semiconductor region adjacent to the surface. During such step, typically a portion of the semiconductor material exposed at the wall is oxidized. At least some of the oxidized portion is removed to expose a wall of an enlarged trench, along which wall a dielectric layer and conductive material are formed in order to form a trench capacitor.10-14-2010
