چکیده
In this study, the integration of SiGe selective epitaxy on source/drain regions and high-k and metal gate for 22 nm node bulk pMOS transistors has been presented. Selective Si1-x Ge x growth (0.35 ≤ × ≤ 0.40) with boron concentration of 1-3 × 1020 cm-3 was used to elevate the source/drain. The main focus was optimization of the growth parameters to improve the epitaxial quality where the high-resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) measurement data provided the key information about Ge profile in the transistor structure. The induced strain by SiGe layers was directly measured by x-ray on the array of transistors. In these measurements, the boron concentration was determined from the strain compensation of intrinsic and boron-doped SiGe layers. Finally, the characteristic of transistors were measured and discussed showing good device performance.

As the scaling of CMOS transistors extends to the sub-20 nm regime, the most challenging aspect of device design is the control of the off-state current. The traditional methods for controlling leakage current via the substrate doping profile will be difficult to implement at these dimensions. A promising method for controlling leakage in sub-20 nm transistors is the reduction in source-to-drai...
