Publication number: 20070235807Abstract: Two different transistors types are made on different crystal orientations in which both are formed on SOI. A substrate has an underlying semiconductor layer of one of the crystal orientations and an overlying layer of the other crystal orientation. The underlying layer has a portion exposed on which is epitaxially grown an oxygen-doped semiconductor layer that maintains the crystalline structure of the underlying semiconductor layer. A semiconductor layer is then epitaxially grown on the oxygen-doped semiconductor layer. An oxidation step at elevated temperatures causes the oxide-doped region to separate into oxide and semiconductor regions. The oxide region is then used as an insulation layer in an SOI structure and the overlying semiconductor layer that is left is of the same crystal orientation as the underlying semiconductor layer. Transistors of the different types are formed on the different resulting crystal orientations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2007Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Ted White, Alexander Barr, Bich-Yen Nguyen, Marius Orlowski, Mariam Sadaka, Voon-Yew Thean

Publication number: 20070136031Abstract: The present invention includes a method of electronically designing an article, including accessing an electronic article design system, selecting an article type to design, and iteratively configuring a group of characteristics by selecting one or more options for each characteristic and/or iteratively modeling the article performance based on a selection of one or more performance parameters for each performance model. In the iterative configuration and modeling step, the electronic article design system automatically presents the characteristics and the performance models based on the article type selected, dynamically updates the article for each step of the iterative configuration and/or modeled performance, and automatically resolves conflicts between iteratively configured characteristics, between iteratively modeled performances, and across iteratively configured characteristics and modeled performances.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Steven Feldman, Jason Randall, Alexander Barr, Abhay Joshi

Publication number: 20070082453Abstract: A semiconductor substrate having a silicon layer is provided. In one embodiment, the substrate is a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate having an oxide layer underlying the silicon layer. An amorphous or polycrystalline silicon germanium layer is formed overlying the silicon layer. Alternatively, germanium is implanted into a top portion of the silicon layer to form an amorphous silicon germanium layer. The silicon germanium layer is then oxidized to convert the silicon germanium layer into a silicon dioxide layer and to convert at least a portion of the silicon layer into germanium-rich silicon. The silicon dioxide layer is then removed prior to forming transistors using the germanium-rich silicon. In one embodiment, the germanium-rich silicon is selectively formed using a patterned masking layer over the silicon layer and under the silicon germanium layer. Alternatively, isolation regions may be used to define local regions of the substrate in which the germanium-rich silicon is formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2006Publication date: April 12, 2007Applicant: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Marius Orlowski, Alexander Barr, Mariam Sadaka, Ted White

Publication number: 20060084235Abstract: A semiconductor fabrication process includes forming a transistor gate overlying an SOI wafer having a semiconductor top layer over a buried oxide layer (BOX) over a semiconductor substrate. Source/drain trenches, disposed on either side of the gate, are etched into the BOX layer. Source/drain structures are formed within the trenches. A depth of the source/drain structures is greater than the thickness of the top silicon layer and an upper surface of the source/drain structures coincides approximately with the transistor channel whereby vertical overlap between the source/drain structures and the gate is negligible. The trenches preferably extend through the BOX layer to expose a portion of the silicon substrate. The source/drain structures are preferably formed epitaxially and possibly in two stages including an oxygen rich stage and an oxygen free stage. A thermally anneal between the two epitaxial stages will form an isolation dielectric between the source/drain structure and the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Inventors: Alexander Barr, Olubunmi Adetutu, Bich-Yen Nguyen, Marius Orlowski, Mariam Sadaka, Voon-Yew Thean, Ted White
