Abstract: Element characteristics disadvantageously fluctuate because the composition of the resultant silicide varies according to the change of the gate length when a full silicide gate electrode is formed by sintering a metal/poly-Si structure. The element characteristics also fluctuate due to element-to-element non-uniformity of the resultant silicide composition. By first forming full silicide having a metal-rich composition, depositing a Si layer thereon, and sintering the combined structure, the metal in the metal-rich silicide diffuses into the Si layer, so that the Si layer is converted into silicide. The entire structure thus is converted into full silicide having a smaller metal composition ratio.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for reducing poly-depletion in a dual gate CMOS fabrication process. The method reduces the poly-depletion in a dual gate CMOS fabrication process by increasing the doping efficiency in a gate polysilicon film. In order to increase the doping efficiency, the method employs the following four technical principles. First, the doping efficiency is increased when the dose of N+ ion implantation is increased. Second, the doping efficiency is increased when the thickness of N+ polysilicon is reduced. Third, the increase of depletion caused by the reduction of the channel width is inhibited when the EFH is adjusted to be less than 0. Fourth, the overall doping efficiency is increased when each step of polysilicon deposition and ion implantation is divided into multiple steps.

The PLDD may also be UHT annealed to reduce end of range dislocations close to the PMOS channel.

Abstract: A thin blanket epitaxial layer of SiGe is grown on a silicon substrate to have a biaxial compressive stress in the growth plane. A thin epitaxial layer of silicon is deposited on the SiGe layer, with the SiGe layer having a thickness less than its critical thicknesses. Shallow trenches are subsequently fabricated through the epitaxial layers, so that the strain energy is redistributed such that the compressive strain in the SiGe layer is partially relaxed elastically and a degree of tensile strain is induced to the neighboring layers of silicon. Because this process for inducing tensile strain in a silicon over-layer is elastic in nature, the desired strain may be achieved without formation of misfit dislocations.
