Abstract:
A method for fabricating a thermally stable ultralow dielectric constant film comprising Si, C, O and H atoms in a parallel plate chemical vapor deposition process utilizing a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (“PECVD”) process is disclosed. Electronic devices containing insulating layers of thermally stable ultralow dielectric constant materials that are prepared by the method are further disclosed. To enable the fabrication of a thermally stable ultralow dielectric constant film, specific precursor materials are used, such as, silane derivatives, for instance, diethoxymethylsilane (DEMS) and organic molecules, for instance, bicycloheptadiene and cyclopentene oxide.

Abstract:
An oxynitride pad layer and a masking layer are formed on an ultrathin semiconductor-on-insulator substrate containing a top semiconductor layer comprising silicon. A first portion of a shallow trench is patterned in a top semiconductor layer by lithographic masking of an NFET region and an etch, in which exposed portions of the buried insulator layer is recessed and the top semiconductor layer is undercut. A thick thermal silicon oxide liner is formed on the exposed sidewalls and bottom peripheral surfaces of a PFET active area to apply a high laterally compressive stress. A second portion of the shallow trench is formed by lithographic masking of a PFET region including the PFET active area. A thin thermal silicon oxide or no thermal silicon oxide is formed on exposed sidewalls of the NFET active area, which is subjected to a low lateral compressive stress or no lateral compressive stress.

Abstract:
A process for making a MCSFET includes providing a first implant through a first side of an elongated stack, and then providing a second implant through a second side of the stack. The first implant has a dose different than the dose of the second implant, so that final dopant concentrations in the first and second sides differ and the transistor has two threshold voltages Vt, Vt.

Semiconductor Devices With Vertical Extensions For Lateral Scaling
A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided, in which extension regions are formed atop the substrate in a vertical orientation. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a semiconductor substrate doped with a first conductivity dopant. Raised extension regions are formed on first portions of the semiconductor substrate that are separated by a second portion of the semiconductor substrate. The raised extension regions have a first concentration of a second conductivity dopant. Raised source regions and raised drain regions are formed on the raised extension regions. The raised source regions and the raised drain regions each have a second concentration of the second conductivity dopant, wherein the second concentration is greater than the first concentration. A gate structure is formed on the second portion of the semiconductor substrate.
