摘要： The present invention provides an improved amorphization/templated recrystallization (ATR) method for fabricating low-defect-density hybrid orientation substrates. ATR methods for hybrid orientation substrate fabrication generally start with a Si layer having a first orientation bonded to a second Si layer or substrate having a second orientation. Selected regions of the first Si layer are amorphized and then recrystallized into the orientation of the second Si layer by using the second Si layer as a template. The process flow of the present invention solves two major difficulties not disclosed by prior art ATR methods: the creation of “corner defects” at the edges of amorphized Si regions bounded by trenches, and undesired orientation changes during a high temperature post-recrystallization defect-removal annealing of non-ATR'd regions not bounded by trenches. In particular, this invention provides a process flow comprising the steps of (i) amorphization and low-temperature recrystallization performed in substrate regions free of trenches, (ii) formation of trench isolation regions that subsume the defective regions at the edge of the ATR'd regions, and (iii) a high-temperature defect-removal anneal performed with the trench isolation regions in place.

摘要： The present invention provides an improved amorphization/templated recrystallization (ATR) method for forming hybrid orientation substrates and semiconductor device structures. A direct-silicon-bonded (DSB) silicon layer having a (011) surface crystal orientation is bonded to a base silicon substrate having a (001) surface crystal orientation to form a DSB wafer in which the in-plane direction of the (011) DSB layer is aligned with an in-plane direction of the (001) base substrate. Selected regions of the DSB layer are amorphized down to the base substrate to form amorphized regions aligned with the mutually orthogonal in-plane directions of the (001) base substrate, followed by recrystallization using the base substrate as a template. This optimal arrangement of DSB layer, base substrate, and amorphized region orientation provides a near-vertical, essentially defect-free boundary between original-orientation and changed-orientation silicon regions, thus enabling complete boundary region removal with smaller footprint shallow trench isolation than possible with ATR methods not so optimized.

摘要： A hybrid orientation direct-semiconductor-bond (DSB) substrate with shallow trench isolation (STI) that is self-aligned to recrystallization boundaries is formed by patterning a hard mask layer for STI, a first amorphization implantation into openings in the hard mask layer, lithographic patterning of portions of a top semiconductor layer, a second amorphization implantation into exposed portions of the DSB substrate, recrystallization of the portions of the top semiconductor layer, and formation of STI utilizing the pattern in the hard mask layer. The edges of patterned photoresist for the second amorphization implantation are located within the openings in the patterned hard mask layer. Defective boundary regions formed underneath the openings in the hard mask layer are removed during the formation of STI to provide a leakage path free substrate. Due to elimination of a requirement for increased STI width, device density is increased compared to non-self-aligning process integration schemes.

摘要： Hybrid orientation substrates allow the fabrication of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits in which the n-type field effect transistors (nFETs) are disposed in a semiconductor orientation which is optimal for electron mobility and the p-type field effect transistors (pFETs) are disposed in a semiconductor orientation which is optimal for hole mobility. This invention discloses that the performance advantages of FETs formed entirely in the optimal semiconductor orientation may be achieved by only requiring that the device's channel be disposed in a semiconductor with the optimal orientation. A variety of new FET structures are described, all with the characteristic that at least some part of the FET's channel has a different orientation than at least some part of the FET's source and/or drain. Hybrid substrates into which these new FETs might be incorporated are described along with their methods of making.
