摘要： Tapered source and drain contacts for use in an epitaxial FinFET prevent short circuits and damage to parts of the FinFET during contact processing, thus improving device reliability. The inventive contacts feature tapered sidewalls and a pedestal where electrical contact is made to fins in the source and drain regions. The pedestal also provides greater contact area to the fins, which are augmented by extensions. Raised isolation regions define a valley around the fins. During source/drain contact formation, the valley is lined with a conformal barrier that also covers the fins themselves. The barrier protects underlying local oxide and adjacent isolation regions against gouging while forming the contact. The valley is filled with an amorphous silicon layer that protects the epitaxial fin material from damage during contact formation. A simple tapered structure is used for the gate contact.

Raised source and drain regions of first epitaxial growth material extending from the fin on either side of the transistor gate electrode. Source and drain contact openings extend through a pre-metallization dielectric material to reach the raised source and drain regions. Source and drain contact regions of second epitaxial growth material extend from the first epitaxial growth material at the bottom of the source and drain contact openings. A metal material fills the source and drain contact openings to form source and drain contacts, respectively, with the source and drain contact regions. The drain contact region may be offset from the transistor gate electrode by an offset distance sufficient to provide a laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) configuration within the raised source region of first epitaxial growth material.

摘要： Methods and structures for forming fin structures whilst controlling the height of the fin structures with high uniformity across large areas are described. According to some aspects, a multi-layer structure comprising a first etch-stop layer and a second etch-stop layer separated from a substrate and from each other by spacer layers is formed on a substrate. Trenches may be formed through the first and second etch-stop layers. A buffer layer may be formed in the trenches, filling the trenches to a level approximately at a position of the first etch-stop layer. A semiconductor layer may be formed above the buffer layer and etched back to the second etch-stop layer to form semiconductor fins of highly uniform heights.
