Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide selective film deposition in a recessed feature of a substrate using halogen deactivation. A substrate processing method includes a) providing a substrate containing a field area and a recessed feature having a sidewall and a bottom, b) exposing the substrate to a first precursor gas to form a first precursor layer on the substrate, c) exposing the substrate to a plasma-excited halogen-containing gas to deactivate or at least partially remove the first precursor layer on the field area of the substrate and the bottom of the recessed feature, and d) exposing the substrate to a second precursor gas that reacts with the first precursor layer to form a material layer on the sidewall of the recessed feature but not on the field area and the bottom of the recessed feature that has been deactivated by the plasma-excited halogen-containing gas.

Abstract: Occurrence of short-channel characteristics and parasitic capacitance of a MOSFET on a SOI substrate is prevented. A sidewall having a stacked structure obtained by sequentially stacking a silicon oxide film and a nitride film is formed on a side wall of a gate electrode on the SOI substrate. Subsequently, after an epitaxial layer is formed beside the gate electrode, and then, the nitride film is removed. Then, an impurity is implanted into an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate with using the gate electrode and the epitaxial layer as a mask, so that a halo region is formed in only a region of the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate which is right below a vicinity of both ends of the gate electrode.

Abstract: On a semiconductor substrate having an SOI region and a bulk silicon region formed on its upper surface, epitaxial layers are formed in source and drain regions of a MOSFET formed in the SOI region, and no epitaxial layer is formed in source and drain regions of a MOSFET formed in the bulk silicon region. By covering the end portions of the epitaxial layers with silicon nitride films, even when diffusion layers are formed by implanting ions from above the epitaxial layers, it is possible to prevent the impurity ions from being implanted down to a lower surface of a silicon layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor device having an n channel MISFET formed on an SOI substrate including a support substrate, an insulating layer formed on the support substrate and a silicon layer formed on the insulating layer has the following structure. An impurity region for threshold adjustment is provided in the support substrate of a gate electrode so that the silicon layer contains carbon. The threshold value can be adjusted by the semiconductor region for threshold adjustment in this manner. Further, by providing the silicon layer containing carbon, even when the impurity of the semiconductor region for threshold adjustment is diffused to the silicon layer across the insulating layer, the impurity is inactivated by the carbon implanted into the silicon layer. As a result, the fluctuation of the transistor characteristics, for example, the fluctuation of the threshold voltage of the MISFET can be reduced.
