  • Publication number: 20070069298
    Abstract: The present invention provides a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device and a fabrication method thereof. The CMOSFET device includes a compressively strained SiGe channel for a PMOSFET, as well as a tensile strained Si channel for an NMOSFET, thereby enhancing hole and electron mobility for the PMOSFET and the NMOSFET, respectively. As such, the threshold voltages of the two types of transistors can be obtained in oppositely symmetric by single metal gate.

  • Publication number: 20070059910
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure and method for manufacturing the same is disclosed. The present invention relates to a semiconductor having a dielectric layer applied on a gate of a transistor, and a high dielectric-coefficient, and a manufacturing method of the semiconductor. Ti is formed on HfO2 to absorb oxygen from the dielectric layer to reduce its thickness, and even make it disappear. However, the TiO2 grown on the layer of Ti advances the growing of HfO2. Simultaneously, the dielectric constant of TiO2 is about 50. The TiO2 substantially enhances the dielectric constant for the dielectric layer. Ti absorbs the oxygen to reduce its thickness and increase the dielectric constant to reduce EOT. Moreover, TiO2 is formed and the dielectric constant is increased after heating. Accordingly, leakage is avoided in the TiO2. The present invention enhances the applications for high-k gate dielectrics with high electric constants, and continuously reduces the EOT.

  • Publication number: 20070045612
    Abstract: An organic thin film transistor and a method for fabricating the same are provided. A multi-dielectric layer of the organic thin-film transistor is disposed on the substrate and the gate electrode, and then the organic layers-of the organic thin film transistor, the source and drain are produced. Because of the isolation effect of the multi-dielectric layer, the hydrophilic and lipophilic processes do not affect each other during the manufacturing of the organic thin film transistor. In addition, the multi-dielectric layer includes at least one organic dielectric layer and at least one liquid state deposited oxide silicon thin film.

  • Publication number: 20060263959
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. The method mainly involves steps of forming at least one first patterned high stress layer below a silicon substrate, then forming a semiconductor device onto the substrate, and forming at least one second patterned high stress layer on the semiconductor device. According to the method, the characteristics of the PMOS and the NMOS transistors formed on the same wafer may be improved simultaneously, by utilizing the stress of the patterned layers of high stress material. Further, the mobility of the carriers is enhanced, so that the output characteristic of the transistors can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20060094135
    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.

  • Patent number: 6759694
    Abstract: A phototransistor structure is disclosed. A sidewall is grown on the collector side and under the base. The surface of the sidewall is formed with a sidewall contact. When the contact is connected to an external voltage, the holes accumulated at the junction of the base and emitter can be quickly removed. This solves the problem in the prior art that using a bias between the base and the emitter to remove holes usually results in a large dark current (bias current), power consumption, and diminishing optoelectronic conversion gain.
