Patent number: 8343827Abstract: In a CMIS device, to improve the operating characteristics of an n-channel electric field transistor that is formed by using a strained silicon technique, without degrading the operating characteristics of a p-channel field effect transistor. After forming a source/drain (an n-type extension region and an n-type diffusion region) of an nMIS and a source/drain (a p-type extension region and a p-type diffusion region) of a pMIS, the each source/drain having a desired concentration profile and resistance, a Si:C layer having a desired amount of strain is formed in the n-type diffusion region, and thus the optimum parasitic resistance and the optimum amount of strain in the Si:C layer are obtained in the source/drain of the nMIS. Moreover, by performing a heat treatment in forming the Si:C layer in a short time equal to or shorter than 1 millisecond, a change in the concentration profile of the respective p-type impurities of the already-formed p-type extension region and p-type diffusion region is suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Tadashi Yamaguchi, Keiichiro Kashihara, Yoji Kawasaki
