  • Patent number: 7521305
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of: providing a semiconductor device formed with a plurality of transistors; forming a first stress layer with a plurality of layers on the semiconductor device; forming a second stress layer with a plurality of layers on another surface of the semiconductor device; covering photo resist on a region of the first stress layer to cover at least one of the transistors; and performing ion implantation on the part of the semiconductor device that is not covered by the photo resist. In another embodiment, the second stress layers can be formed after the ion implantation. The method can simultaneously enhance the device performance of the PMOS and NMOS on the same wafer. It also solves the problem of procedure integration caused by the produced compressive stress and tensile stress.

  • Patent number: 7347228
    Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device is provided. A high stress layer formed on, under or on both sides of the transistors of the semiconductor device is employed as a cap layer. A specific region is then defined through photo resistor mask, and the stress of the region is changed by ion implanting. Therefore, compressive stress and tensile stress occur on the high stress layer. According the disclosed method, the high stress layer may simultaneously improve the characteristics of the transistors formed on the same wafer. Further, the mobility of the carriers of the device is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20030116762
    Abstract: This invention mainly provides a single-chip structure of silicon-germanium (SiGe) photodetectors and high-speed transistors. Primarily inserting a specified photo-absorbing layer in the photodetector, this device structure then provides the capability to absorb the light spectrum with an infrared wavelength, but also improves the overall optical absorption efficiency indeed. Then consider both the photodetector and the high-speed transistor have similar structures, therefore they can be well integrated on the same substrate by using the single-chip technology. Furthermore, one separated insulation layer will be adopted to isolate the photo-detecting zone and the high-speed transistor zone. Consequently, a single-chip structure of the SiGe photodetector and the high-speed transistor will be implemented.
