Design Of Analog Cmos Integrated Circuits

Process gas discharged from a bypass pipe to a gas exhaust system can be prevented from diffusing back to the inside of a process chamber without having to install a dedicated vacuum pump at the downstream side of the bypass pipe. The substrate processing apparatus includes a process chamber accommodating a substrate, a gas supply system supplying process gas from a process gas source to the process chamber for processing the substrate, a gas exhaust system configured to exhaust the process chamber, two or more vacuum pumps installed in series at the gas exhaust system, and a bypass pipe connected between the gas supply system and the gas exhaust system. The most upstream one of the vacuum pumps is a mechanical booster pump, and the bypass pipe is connected between the mechanical booster pump and the rest vacuum pumps located at a downstream side of the mechanical booster pump.

The disclosure relates to a semiconductor device. An exemplary structure for a contact structure for a semiconductor device comprises a substrate comprising a major surface and a cavity below the major surface; a strained material in the cavity, wherein a lattice constant of the strained material is different from a lattice constant of the substrate; a Ge-containing dielectric layer over the strained material; and a metal layer over the Ge-containing dielectric layer.

Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have shown impressive performance improvements over the past 10 years by incorporating strained silicon (Si) technology. This review gives an overview of the impact of strain on carrier mobility in Si n- and pMOSFETs by considering strain-induced band splitting, band warping and consequent carrier repopulation, and altered conductivity effective mass and scattering rate. Different surface orientations, channel directions, and gate electric fields are included for a fully theoretical understanding. The results are used to predict strain-enhanced silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and multigate device performance, mainly focusing on potential 22-nm and beyond device options such as double-gate and trigate fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) structures. Insights into strain-enhanced potential future channel materials (SiGe, Ge, and GaAs) are also summarized. Finally, recent technology nodes with strain engineering are reviewed, and the future developing t...

Strain: A Solution for Higher Carrier Mobility in Nanoscale MOSFETs

We report a detailed study of the impact of systematic across-chip variation (ACV) on chip level power-performance. We propose a metric to capture impact of ACV on chip-level leakage quantitatively. Product power-performance can be optimized by minimizing systematic ACV. Thermally-driven ACV was identified as a major mechanism in 32nm SOI technology. An optimized thermal anneal process was used to suppress ACV significantly, leading to a dramatic benefit in leakage power-performance trade-off.

A dummy gate structure straddling at least one semiconductor fin is formed on a substrate. Active semiconductor regions and raised active semiconductor regions may be formed. A planarization dielectric layer is formed over the at least one semiconductor fin, and the dummy gate structure is removed to provide a gate cavity. Electrical dopants in the channel region can be removed by outgassing during an anneal, thereby lowering the concentration of the electrical dopants in the channel region. Alternately or additionally, carbon can be implanted into the channel region to deactivate remaining electrical dopants in the channel region. The threshold voltage of the field effect transistor can be effectively controlled by the reduction of active electrical dopants in the channel region. A replacement gate electrode can be subsequently formed in the gate cavity.

The eSiGe layout effect induced by PC-bounded or STI-bounded eSiGe shows impact on device performance and variability increase. For PC-bounded device, performance degradation could be explained by the mobility loss due to reducing eSiGe volume and less stress strength. For STI-bounded device, performance degradation varies, due to strong interaction between eSiGe fill morphology and device overlap capacitance. This observation was confirmed by an eSiGe fill level study. Compared to PC-bounded eSiGe, STI-bounded devices have increase variation due to eSiGe process.

A dielectric material layer is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate including a top semiconductor layer containing a first semiconductor material. An opening is formed within the dielectric material layer, and a trench is formed in the top semiconductor layer within the area of the opening by an etch. A second semiconductor material is deposited to a height above the top surface of the top semiconductor layer employing a selective epitaxy process. Another dielectric material layer can be deposited, and another trench can be formed in the top semiconductor layer. Another semiconductor material can be deposited to a different height employing another selective epitaxy process. The various semiconductor material portions can be patterned to form semiconductor fins having different heights and/or different compositions.

Semiconductor structure and manufacturing method

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of semiconductor fins on an insulator layer of a semiconductor substrate, and forming a plurality of gate stacks on the insulator layer. Each gate stack wraps around a respective portion of the semiconductor fins. The method further includes forming a dielectric layer on the insulator layer. The dielectric layer fills voids between the semiconductor fins and gate stacks, and covers the semiconductor fins. The method further includes etching at least one portion of the semiconductor fins until reaching the insulator layer such that at least one cavity is formed. The cavity exposes seed regions of the semiconductor fins located between adjacent gate stacks. The method further includes epitaxially growing a semiconductor material from the seed regions to form source/drain regions corresponding to a respective gate stack.
