| 20090170254 | Method of Manufacturing a Semiconductor Device - In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode are formed in a first area and a second area of a substrate. Non-crystalline regions are formed in the first area of the substrate adjacent the first gate electrode. A layer having a first stress is formed on the substrate and the first and the second gate electrodes. A mask is formed on a first portion of the layer in the first area of the substrate to expose a second portion of the layer in the second area. The second portion is etched to form a sacrificial spacer on a sidewall of the second gate electrode. The second area of the substrate is partially etched using the mask, the second gate electrode and the sacrificial spacer, to form recesses in the second area of the substrate adjacent the second gate electrode. Patterns having a second stress are formed in the recesses. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100006906 | Semiconductor device, single crystalline silicon wafer, and single crystalline silicon ingot - A semiconductor device includes a single crystalline substrate and an active region defined in the single crystalline substrate, wherein a major axis direction of the active region is aligned with a <0,1,1> family direction. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100171181 | METHOD OF FORMING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING AN EPITAXIAL SOURCE/DRAIN - A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming a device isolation region in a silicon substrate to define an nMOS region and a pMOS region. A p-well is formed in the nMOS region and an n-well in the pMOS region. Gate structures are formed over the p-well and n-well, each gate structure including a stacked structure comprising a gate insulating layer and a gate electrode. A resist mask covers the nMOS region and exposes the pMOS region. Trenches are formed in the substrate on opposite sides of the gate structures of the pMOS region. SiGe layers are grown in the trenches of the pMOS region. The resist mask is removed from the nMOS region. Carbon is implanted to an implantation depth simultaneously on both the nMOS region and the pMOS region to form SiC on the nMOS region and SiGe on the pMOS region. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100233864 | Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device - Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device are provided, the methods include forming a gate stack on a substrate, forming an insulation layer on the substrate to cover the gate stack, forming a spacer at both side walls of the gate stack by etching the insulation layer, and ion implanting impurities in the spacer or the insulation layer. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100304543 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME - A semiconductor device includes a gate insulator and a gate electrode stacked on a substrate, a source/drain pattern which fills a recess region formed at opposite sides adjacent to the gate electrode, the source/drain pattern being made of silicon-germanium doped with dopants and a metal germanosilicide layer disposed on the source/drain pattern. The metal germanosilicide layer is electrically connected to the source/drain pattern. Moreover, a proportion of germanium amount to the sum of the germanium amount and silicon amount in the metal germanosilicide layer is lower than that of germanium amount to the sum of the germanium amount and silicon amount in the source/drain pattern. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110136311 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING A LOCALLY BURIED INSULATION LAYER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A semiconductor device having a locally buried insulation layer and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having the same are provided, in which a gate electrode is formed on a substrate, and oxygen ions are implanted into an active region to form a locally buried insulation layer. An impurity layer is formed on the locally buried insulation layer to form a source/drain. A silicide layer is formed on the source/drain and on the gate electrode. The locally buried insulation layer can prevent junction leakage, decrease junction capacitance and prevent a critical voltage of an MOS transistor from increasing due to body bias, thereby to improve characteristics of the device. | 06-09-2011 |
