20110062518finFETS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - A method of fabricating and a structure of a merged multi-fin finFET. The method includes forming single-crystal silicon fins from the silicon layer of an SOI substrate having a very thin buried oxide layer and merging the end regions of the fins by growing vertical epitaxial silicon from the substrate and horizontal epitaxial silicon from ends of the fins such that vertical epitaxial silicon growth predominates.03-17-2011
20110095343BI-LAYER nFET EMBEDDED STRESSOR ELEMENT AND INTEGRATION TO ENHANCE DRIVE CURRENT - A semiconductor structure including a bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element is disclosed. The bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element can be integrated into any CMOS process flow. The bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element includes an implant damaged free first layer of a first epitaxy semiconductor material having a lattice constant that is different from a lattice constant of a semiconductor substrate and imparts a tensile strain in a device channel of an nFET gate stack. Typically, and when the semiconductor is composed of silicon, the first layer of the bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element is composed of Si:C. The bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element further includes a second layer of a second epitaxy semiconductor material that has a lower resistance to dopant diffusion than the first epitaxy semiconductor material. Typically, and when the semiconductor is composed of silicon, the second layer of the bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element is composed of silicon. Only the second layer of the bi-layer nFET embedded stressor element includes the implanted source/drain regions.04-28-2011

20080246056SILICIDE FORMATION FOR eSiGe USING SPACER OVERLAPPING eSiGe AND SILICON CHANNEL INTERFACE AND RELATED PFET - Methods of forming a suicide in an embedded silicon germanium (eSiGe) source/drain region using a suicide prevention spacer overlapping an interface between the eSiGe and the silicon channel, and a related PFET with an eSiGe source/drain region and a compressive stress liner in close proximity to a silicon channel thereof, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a gate having a nitrogen-containing spacer adjacent thereto and an epitaxially grown silicon germanium (eSiGe) region adjacent to a silicon channel of the gate; removing the nitrogen-containing spacer that does not extend over the interface between the eSiGe source/drain region and the silicon channel; forming a single silicide prevention spacer about the gate, the single silicide prevention spacer overlapping the interface; and forming the silicide in the eSiGe source/drain region using the single silicide prevention spacer to prevent the silicide from forming in at least an extension area of the silicon channel.10-09-2008
20100200896EMBEDDED STRESS ELEMENTS ON SURFACE THIN DIRECT SILICON BOND SUBSTRATES - A method for growing an epitaxial layer on a substrate wherein the substrate includes a surface having a Miller index of (110) for the beneficial properties. The method comprises using a direct silicon bonded wafer with a substrate having a first Miller index and a surface having a second Miller index. An element such as a gate for a PFET may be deposited onto the surface. The area not under the gate may then be etched away to expose the substrate. An epitaxial layer may then be grown on the surface providing optimal growth patterns. The Miller index of the substrate may be (100). In an alternative embodiment the surface may have a Miller index of (100) and the surface is etched where an element such as a gate for a PFET may be placed.08-12-2010
